In Japan, masters craft the treasured guitars of legendary musicians such as Paul McCartney, Graham Nash, and the God of Guitar himself, Carlos Santana. At Yairi Guitars, thirty master guitar makers apply their craft to bring the world twenty new guitars every day. Since the company’s beginnings in 1965, the craftspeople at Yairi Guitars have created a music of their own as the workshop hums with a synchronized harmony as beautiful as the guitars they make.
