Latest addition to the guitarsenal. Santa Cruz OM Grand - Sunburst Adirondack spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony headstock plate, fretboard, & bridge, bone nut and saddle, koa binding. I love that Santa Cruz only builds with sustainable woods (salvaged and responsibly harvested).

I was playing my Yairi FYM88 this morning, and set it in my lap. When the sun hits that flamed kihada wood back and sides, it’s really something. I’m so grateful for the hands that made it. It’s an incredible instrument. #yairi#alvarez#guitar#japaneseguitar#kihada#acousticguitar

My new Yairi FYM60HD. Hand crafted in Kani, Japan. AAAA Adirondack spruce top, and gorgeous old growth Honduran mahogany back and sides. It’s a phenomenal instrument, and I’m fortunate to own one. #guitar#yairi#yairiguitar#alvarez#alvarezguitar

This is the bald eagle that lives out in Round Valley, and fishes in Pleasant Valley reservoir. It was several hundred yards above me, so the photo isn’t particularly sharp, but the setting sun did light it well. #photography#baldeagle#owensvalley#sierranevada#california#mustangmesa
