Traded in my Seagull acoustic I bought new in 1992, used store credit for a returned pedal and a case I ordered that was not up to snuff, and traded in a little used Koren electric guitar and picked up Yairi DY 77.

 

It has an ebony fretboard with tradition snowflake inlays, Indian rosewood back and sides and natural wood binding with a spruce top that has aged nicely. Neck is straight and no issues with the bridge. Needs to have binding work done since there is a 2 inch piece missing.

 

Very dynamic guitar with a warm liquid tone and it can be very loud. Neck is a fat "V" carve but suits me well since it is narroe at the nut, more like an electric where my Seagull was 1 3/4" width.

 

The guitar has two different acoustic pickups. One is a mic I presume and has no tone or volume controls. The other pickup has a separate output jack and has tone and volume control. Each sounds very differnt from the other. Any ideas why it has two systems and how does each work?

Congrats! I loved my Yairi DY90 (still do). I think they are one of the bet kept secrets in the guitar world. The pickup and mic are probably either very old or an after market. Sounds like you'd use 2 cords, 1 to ea channel of a PA or amp (or something like the Solstice or Fishman pocket blender) and adjust the mic volume and EQ from there.
