Not vintage
I can tell just by what I can make out of the label that this one isn't a vintage model, you can also tell by the rosette, the 1970's CY140's rosette has different coloring. So, the top would be solid Cedar, back and sides Brazilian laminates.
I've got 2, one all solid vintage and a newer 2004 model. Can't go wrong! yl Quote:

Vintage AY classical models not all solid
[QUOTE These guitar, laminate or solid, or highly underrated in my opinion. I also like their Conquistador model which ws the predecessor to the CY140. It had the ornate carved headstock. I believe that all Yairi clasicals made before 75 or 76 were solid wood. But I am not 100% sure.
I see why these usually last a few days on Elderly Instruments site when they have a used one . Nice guitar. I hope you keep this one.[/QUOTE] FYI, vintage (1970's) Alvarez Yairi classicals had solid tops, with laminate back and sides... with one exception, a year or so they made the CY140's a Limited Edition and these are all solid. yl |

one thing I learned since arriving in Japan is that there are a lot of guitars out there that are not listed in catalogs so I`m always a bit careful about what passes for fact and what is speculation.
