{"product_id":"12-1r9l5l0x7-0639","title":"[SN IMK300639] YAMAHA \/ LL16D ARE Natural (NT) [12]","description":"The LL16D ARE, adorned with luxurious embellishments!!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe L Series is renowned worldwide as Yamaha’s flagship line of acoustic guitars.\u003cbr\u003e \nEven 40 years after its release, the “L” continues to be cherished by countless artists as a legendary instrument… The reason for its enduring value is simple: it has consistently delivered the sound and playability demanded by each era at the highest level. It 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIn March 2014, the L Series was revamped for the first time in 10 years!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe LL16 was reborn as the LL16 ARE, and this model is the premium version of the LL16 ARE.\u003cbr\u003e \nFeaturing an original jumbo body and an all-solid construction, it features Ingleman spruce for the top and rosewood for the sides and back.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top wood has undergone the proprietary “A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment,” previously used on high-end L Series models (such as the LL26 and LL36). This achieves a rich tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years!!\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, the LL16D ARE features abalone inlays on the body and rosette, along with diamond-shaped inlays for the position marks. Its appearance is reminiscent of the high-end “L36 Series”!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe bracing remains the same non-scalloped X-bracing as before, but in this redesign, the bracing has been lowered and its shape changed to a square profile. This ensures that the X-bracing’s intersection points fit perfectly!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck has been changed from the traditional 3-piece construction to a 5-piece structure combining mahogany and rosewood, achieving greater strength against warping and twisting! Additionally, the neck is tapered by 1 mm at the 10th fret, improving playability in the higher positions! Furthermore, the rounded cut of the fingerboard edges ensures a smooth playing experience that fits comfortably in your hand!\u003cbr\u003e \nIn the new model, the string action and string spacing have also 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.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis new model is equipped with a “passive pickup,” allowing you to connect it directly to an amplifier. (Cable sold separately.)\u003cbr\u003e \nThe pickups use the same piezo elements as those found in SRT models used in electro-acoustic guitars such as the APX and CPX. They offer excellent response and ample output!\u003cbr\u003e \nA “double-action truss rod”—which was not included in the early L Series models—has been installed, providing adjustment for both positive and negative bow.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nMain Specifications\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup \u0026amp; Controls: Passive pickup\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Type: Original Jumbo Body Type\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Thickness: 100 mm–125 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nTop: Solid Engelmann Spruce (A.R.E.)\u003cbr\u003e \nBack: Solid rosewood\u003cbr\u003e \nSides: Solid rosewood\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: Mahogany + 5-ply rosewood\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nScale length: 650 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard width (at nut\/body joint): 44 mm \/ 55 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nTuners: Gold pegs (TM29G)\u003cbr\u003e \nFinish: Natural *Urethane finish, gloss\u003cbr\u003e \n Serial Number: IMK300639\u003cbr\u003e \nJAN: 4957812547819\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Light Case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSince this item is listed on multiple websites, it may already be sold out on other sites.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe strive to promptly remove product listings once an item is sold, but we sincerely apologize and ask for your understanding if the item happens to be sold out after you place your order.","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49206418702588,"sku":"12-1r9l5l0x7-0639","price":135200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202606167272490.jpg?v=1781687337","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/ja\/products\/12-1r9l5l0x7-0639","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
