When you need a guitar with exceptional tone and playability, check out the Yamaha LL16 acoustic-electric guitar. Part of Yamaha’s legendary L Series, the LL16 uses a hand-selected, solid Engelmann spruce top treated with Yamaha’s A.R.E. process and solid rosewood back and sides to give you a rich, warm sounding guitar with full-range response. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck sports not only a smooth-playing ebony fretboard, but also a new, slimmer neck shape and an enhanced fingerboard edge. A passive SRT Zero Impact pickup uses a separate element for each string to give you authentic plugged-in tones. The updated Yamaha LL16 delivers killer tone and playability in a premium acoustic-electric guitar.
YAMAHA LL16 ARE WITH PREMIUM ENGELMANN SPRUCE TOP AND SOLID ROSEWOOD BACK & SIDES
The Yamaha L series is a superb range of acoustic guitars that has been refined over many years. This latest model of LL16 ARE has some exquisite design features. The acoustic tone of the Yamaha LL16ARE is glistening with sparkle and depth. It sounds expensive and that’s thanks to the A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process that the top wood has gone through. This is a technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood has been manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years. The combination of a select solid premium Engelmann Spruce top with Rosewood back & sides gives a very pleasing tone for all styles of playing. Yamaha have also tweaked the bracing to give a bright tone while enhancing low-end tone.
Lots of care and attention has been taken when designing the neck profile and overall string spacing. The new design offers stable grip and smooth playability all over the full length of the neck and fingerboard. The neck on the Yamaha LL16ARE is incredible stable thanks to it’s 5-ply construction of Rosewood and Mahogany. An Ebony fingerboard features attractive mother of pearl dots inlaid in to metal rings.
The Yamaha LL16ARE features a passive Zero impact pickup. This discrete pickup requires no power but when plugged in allows you to amplify the LL16’s stunning acoustic voice.
The Yamaha LL16 ARE comes shipped with a hard bag. This case offers the protection of a hard case with the convenience of a gig bag.
