I LOVE those Alvarez Yairi 9-strings! I wanted one of those for a while.

A luthier I know has a few pieces that he doesn't really want to sell. I think he takes a perverse glee out of letting people see them and then saying "But you can't have that one." Two of the 'Look how cool this one is.' axes are an acoustic that was sold to Muddy Waters(He has the original Gibson receipt made out to Muddy's real name.) and the (alleged)prototype Alvarez Yairi 9-string.

I saw a couple of the 9-strings in the '80's that didn't amaze me. This one truly did.

I had wanted something with that 12-string jingle-jangle sound. But whenever I played most 12-strings out there, I sucked. They were good for someone who mostly strums with a pick. Not so much for a habitual fingerpicker(like me.) The (alleged) prototype was the first multicourse(paired strings) guitar I ever picked up and immediately sounded really good on. I wanted it bad. He isn't selling.

Then I found my Taylor. Taylor makes the best 12-string out there. I will never regret buying it.

Yea this guitar is amazing. Its a bit harder for fingerpicking but after a while you get the hang of it, you just work on your attack on the higher strings. They made two versions of it, the machine made ones, and the limited edition $600 ones. They only made 200 of those, my dad has either #48 or #64, cant really remember. It sounds amazing and has one teeny little chip that isnt even noticible, doesnt even go through finish. They are worth waaaaay more than $600 now. The guitar sounds absolutely incredible.

CS, could you tell us a bit more about that little amp you're holding?

Its the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Its the world's smallest production tube amp. 1/2 watt. Very cool, check out the demo vid.

They claim it can drive a 4x12 cab, but I'm curious how loud is it really?
