Hi, I hope someone can help me make an major decision fast. I looked today at an Alvarez Yairi Guitar at our local shop. The owner only has one. He bought it from another shop that is going out of business. The paper tag inside the sound hole says DY -45. I can't find it on the Alvarez Homepage. Its got a tobacco sunburst front & the back & sides look like some kind of tiger stripped mahogany, if there any any such thing. I am considering trading in a JB Player & paying the difference. He will allow me $350 from my JBP & soft-shell case. My JBP has an electrical hookup installed in place of the strap button. He's asking $900 for the Alvarez & a hard shell case. I'll have to have the electrical hook-up installed. Does anyone know about this particular model & what's the word on Alvarez Yairi in general?

Many thanks,

Randall
