Got this guitar in 2001 from Japan and I enjoy every day we have together! This guitar has a extra long and fine smoth tone (with Martin and Elixir Strings) and some realy nice details. Everything from a good guitar builder only in high quality.It is a original S. Yairi masterpice guitar and she is equal to every other Lowden, Martin, Taylor, BSH ... guitars I ever was able to play. Cedar at its best. I want to buy every guitar from the S. Yairi Custom-Gutiars you are offering up from the S5 to the S8 and I will pay a good price. Send me a mail to "[email protected]"

Samick S-7 EC

I love this guitar!

Manufacutred by S. Yairi (the senior), this guitar is the piezo cutaway model of a Custom-Serie build in Japan between ~1982 to 1997. In that time, S. Yairi and K. Yairi manufactured many guitars for othe labels; for example Lowden, Samick and Alvarez. The Cusom-Guitars started with solid top and roeswood freadboard named as Samick SK-3 and goes to a S-6,  S-7, S-7 EC and finaly a S-8.

There were some changes made over the years, but once never changed: These guitars sounds great and they are very good manufactured!

I have a S-7, bought in germany in 2008 (Sandner, Limbourg), and since that time I'm  hunting for a S-7 EC. I compared the S7 to a Taylor, a Lowden and I had a Martin sold last year. But they all are western. These is a steel-string sound, so sweet and smoth, loud and long I never heard before (of course I never had a real expensive guitar, all less than $2500,-) ............ a little bit gipsy sometimes

They were offerd for prices from $500 to $1500,- in 1985, that was cheap. The german Schaller mechanics are great! 

(no pics possible...sorry) A katalog from the early years (~1986), the name-design changed to cursive since that time.
