YAMAHA / LS36 ARE Natural [Made in Japan]

The LS36ARE—Yamaha’s flagship acoustic guitar from the “L” Series!!

The L Series is renowned worldwide as Yamaha’s premier acoustic guitar.

Even 40 years after its release, the “L” continues to be cherished by countless artists as a legendary instrument… and the reason for its enduring value is simple: it has consistently delivered the sound and playability that each era demands at the highest level. The L Series ushered in a new era of acoustic guitars in Japan, has continued to evolve with the times, and has always responded to the needs of its players. That is the L Series.

Featuring a small body and an all-solid construction, it features Ingleman spruce for the top and rosewood for the sides and back.
The top wood has been treated with our proprietary “A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)” process. This achieves a rich, resonant tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years!!

The bracing remains the traditional non-scalloped X-bracing, but in this redesign, the bracing has been lowered and its shape changed to a square profile.
This ensures that the intersection points of the X align perfectly! Furthermore, the addition of a side brace connecting the top and back braces ensures that string vibrations are transmitted more reliably to the back!

The neck features a 5-piece construction of mahogany and rosewood, providing greater strength and resistance to warping and twisting! Additionally, the neck profile is thinned by 1 mm at the 10th fret, improving playability in the higher positions!
Furthermore, the rounded edges of the fingerboard provide a smooth playing experience that feels natural in the hand! The back of the headstock features a rosewood veneer and a volute design, which also reinforces the headstock!

In this new model, the string action and string spacing have been adjusted: the 6th string is set slightly lower and the 1st string slightly higher than before, and the string spacing has been widened by 0.3 mm.
It features the same neck joint design found on the Custom models. The depth of the dovetail joint has been increased by an additional 4 mm, delivering rich sustain!
The entire body is finished with a stone-powder-sealed lacquer coating, delivering excellent response and dynamics!! Additionally, the luxurious abalone inlays exude a sense of sophistication!
