I’m kind of a research/history nerd. I just like learning about the various models etc.

If you can find further info on Yairi model #s please share them here. It's weird how hard it is to figure it out.
I can say the CY USA series have a much flashier appearance than your example, all of mine & those I've seen on line have figured back & sides - even the CY-116 - the most basic model has burled mahogany back & sides. The style contrasts with the Takamine's of the same era which are more conventional & conservative in appearance. Maybe the Asian market valued a conservative appearance? I'd love to find out where your Y505 stands in the line up...
