YAMAHA / LL16 ARE Natural [11]

YAMAHA Acoustic Guitar flagship model "L" series, LL16ARE Natural!

The L series is world-renowned as Yamaha's top-of-the-line acoustic guitars.
Even after 40 years since its release, the "L" series continues to be used by numerous artists as a masterpiece. The L series brought an era of acoustic guitars to Japan and continues to evolve with the times, always responding to the wishes of the players. That is the L Series.

The original jumbo body and all solid specs are made of Ingleman spruce for the top and rosewood for the side and back.
The top material is treated with our original "A.R.E (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)" process, which has been used on the top models of the L Series (LL26, LL36, etc.) until now. This process gives the instrument a rich sound as if it has been played for many years!
The bracing is the same non-scalloped X-bracing as before, but in this renewal, the bracing has been lowered and the shape has been changed to a square. This allows the X intersection points to fit perfectly!
The NECK has been changed from a conventional 3-piece to a 5-piece mahogany and rosewood construction, which is stronger and more resistant to warping and twisting! In addition, the 10th fret has been thinned by 1mm to improve playability in the high position! In addition, the fingerboard edge has been rounded to achieve smooth playability that fits comfortably in the hand!
In the new model, the string height and pitch between strings have also been changed, with the 6th string side slightly lower and the 1st string side slightly higher than before, and the pitch between strings has been widened by 0.3mm.
This new model is equipped with a "passive pickup" and can be immediately connected to an amplifier. (Please purchase the cable separately.)
The pickup uses a piezo element similar to the SRT used in APX, CPX, and other eléacos. It has excellent response and sufficient output!
Double action truss rod", which was not equipped in the early L series, is built in and works for both forward and reverse bending.
