Yairis are great guitars, and very under appreciated in my experience.  I have never owned one but wouldn't mind.

I got the guitar,very nice but a big problem.
Very little saddle left,and high action
Took it to a tech and he said neck reset is in the future
So,I'm sending it back
Maybe another larrivee is in my future

That's too bad. One thing I look for in photos of guitars for sale is a low saddle (or vague pictures that don't give a good look at the saddle). If the saddle is low, or the pictures are vague (and it seems like the seller didn't want to take a clear pic of the saddle height) I move on, period.

I would only be interested if the seller made it clear that the guitar needed a neck reset and it was priced accordingly (and it was a rare or desirable instrument).
