Default Sadao Yairi guitar question

I have seen Sadao guitars with two types of headstock. One simply says SADA and the other is S. Yairi, with the S in script. The label in the SADA says SADA Luthier, Nagoya, Japan. My question, is there a difference in these guitars? Primarily in quality of build. I've seen early 70's models with both headstocks. Thanks for any help.

I’m following this thread in hopes of learning the answer. In person, I’ve seen only the first of the 2 headstocks you’ve shown. Sometime in the late 70s, my local guitar shop took a shipment of 3 S.Yairis with that headstock. They were very well built Martinesque guitars.

I have a 1974 S Yairi with the big bold letters logo. A great D18 copy that belonged to my father. But detail information concerning Sada guitars is hard to find !

Thank you everyone for the replies and owm, the links. I agree, not much info out there on SADA, especially steel strings.
