K. Yairi LAPIS Topaz From the "LAPIS" series, created to commemorate K.Yairi's 90th anniversary, we have received the Topaz model, featuring a striking deep blue-violet color. Inspired by the gemstone topaz, this elegant color will make a striking statement on stage and vividly reflect the personality of the wearer. The LAPIS series is a model born from a return to the fundamental joy of playing the guitar, incorporating the sensibilities of young craftsmen. Its easy-to-hold original shape and compact, lightweight body design make it perfect for beginners who want to enjoy playing without difficulty. Its ease of handling makes it ideal for long practice sessions or relaxing at home. The top is made of solid spruce, resulting in clear, extended highs and a natural response. The mahogany back and sides support warm mid-low frequencies, creating a well-balanced and rich sound despite the small body. The neck is also made of mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge are made of durable ebony, ensuring stable tuning and reliable playability. With a 635mm scale length and a 42mm nut width, this guitar is designed to fit comfortably in the hands of Japanese players, accommodating a wide range of playing styles from chord work to arpeggios. It's perfect as a first guitar, a secondary guitar, or a guitar you can easily take with you wherever you go. Furthermore, it comes standard with an ARTEC A1 (contact type/passive) pickup. Connecting it to an amplifier or PA system makes it ready for immediate use in live performances and jam sessions. Its simple, easy-to-use system preserves the nuances of the natural tone while flexibly adapting to various stage environments. The LAPIS Topaz combines the meticulous craftsmanship and reliability unique to Japanese-made instruments with the special presence of a 90th-anniversary model.
