Today on Alvarez TV, we’re playing two guitars with AAAA Adirondack Tops, Vintage Honduran Mahogany backs and sides, exactly the same specs in every way…except that one is a Dreadnought, and the other is an OM. In this highly-requested episode, we’re taking a closer look at the differences between our DYM60HD and FYM60HD, chatting about these two beautiful Yairi models and doing some A/B testing so you can hear the differences for yourself.

With so many brands of guitars in the market today, how do you choose the right one for you?

Which guitar gives you unsurpassed value and quality? Which guitar is the one you keep reaching for? We believe that guitar is Alvarez.
