Yairi GYM80CE Masterworks Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar w/ Hardshell Case – Shadowburst

Yairi GYM80ce Masterworks Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar w/ Hardshell Case – Shadowburst

The Yairi GYM80ce pairs striking flamed maple with the versatility of a Grand Auditorium cutaway. Handcrafted in Kani, Japan, this Masterworks acoustic-electric features a solid AAA Sitka spruce top and solid flamed maple back and sides, complemented by a distinctive Shadowburst finish.

Sitka spruce provides clarity and dynamic range, while maple brings a focused, articulate character that helps individual notes remain defined. This combination suits detailed fingerstyle passages, crisp rhythmic accompaniment and melodic picking. The Grand Auditorium body offers fullness and comfortable proportions, with a cutaway for convenient access to the upper frets.

Hand-carved FST6 forward-shifted bracing with asymmetric tone bars uses lighter braces to encourage soundboard response while maintaining structural support. Yairi’s ebony Direct Coupled bridge transfers string vibration into the top, working alongside an extended dovetail neck joint to complete the carefully considered construction.

A one-piece mahogany neck with a semi-gloss finish meets an ebony fingerboard, with a 25½-inch scale length and 44 mm nut width providing a versatile playing platform. Ivoroid binding, abalone and mother-of-pearl details, and gold Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons add refinement to the Shadowburst styling. A bone nut and saddle and ebony bridge pins complete the appointments.

Equipped with the LR Baggs HiFi pickup system and supplied with a hardshell case, the GYM80ce brings together a clear acoustic voice, distinctive looks and the flexibility for amplified performance.
