It's fairly easy but proper tools would cost you more than just having it changed by a tech or such.... I'd say just carry it to the shop

Be happy to help you through the process though if it's something you want to learn and invest in.   I'll be doing a complete re fret of my '73 dy77 in the next month or so and plan to do a write up with lots of pics and maybe some video

I've been keeping my eyes open for a Vintage FY myself...  Good luck! They're few and far between here...  We need a trustworthy member from Japan that can get his hands on all the great homeland models and not just the US imported ones and who could ship them to us

I'd recommend anything earlier than '84...  You can pick up a fine example in the right year range anywhere from 5-900... I'd look at the dy-75 and 77 ( 77's can get a little more expensive, up to 12-1300 for early ones in good shape unless you get lucky... I bought a '73  dy77 for 200 bucks off of craigslist but had to drive 8hrs to get it) or maybe a dy74 if you want one that came in a cutaway with electronics. Those models will be spruce/rosewood... If you want spruce/hog I'd consider the dy50 as a good solid performer and it can be had from 350-550 depending on condition and the deal you find.  I'm on lunch break now so I don't have much time but I'll post a lot more info this evening on the respective models and price ranges plus some build info and videos. 

Yairi's have a tone all their own but if I had to describe it I'd say they have the thump of a martin (you really feel the bass in your chest) but with highs more similar to a Taylor. To me it's a great balance Martins can be too bassy to me and taylors can be a little bright, Yairi kind of blends the two...  As a side note they are all solid woods even if they are described as laminate back and sides... I'll explain this later though when I have a little more time to post.

I know and play "Country Boy Can Survive" I went through a country spell back in the late 80's and for a couple years there Bocephus was king! That's about all I listened too... Then ,I don't know, I just started getting into other styles of music and haven't really listened to much country in the last 20 years or so. That's the only country song I even know...  I wouldn't mind knowing more of his stuff and am going to go browse through it right now

Welcome to Chordie! Anything in particular you're wanting to know about it?? Happy to help if I can

Enough for know I need a break....

I've got the k&K mini in 2 of mine... It's pretty straight forward to install. Did yours come with the jig?  Either way you have 3 tranducers to be mounted on the bridge plate... One goes between the 1st and 2nd strings, one in the center between the 3rd and 4th string and one between the 5th and 6th.  Now I say between but they are mounted behind them, the between is just for placement reference, depending on the guitars bridge plate, they should be just behind (1/4 -1/2 inch) the bridge pin holes.   Just be careful placing them when you do it and don't press too hard to seat them initially. Once they are all were you want them you can really press them into place but keeping them fairly loose allows you to remove them (as long as you work fairly quick) if you happen to set the tranducers in the wrong place.  No worries though, even if you set them firmly they can still be removed and relocated so it's kinda hard to really mess it up
