YAMAHA / LS26 ARE Natural [08]

The Yamaha L series is world-renowned as Yamaha's highest-class acoustic guitars.
Even after 40 years since its release, the "L" continues to be used by numerous artists as a masterpiece.
It is because it has always delivered the sound and playability demanded by the times at the highest level.
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.

Small body, all solid specs, Ingleman spruce top, rosewood SIDE and BACK.
The top material is treated with our original "A.R.E (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)" treatment. This gives it 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 intersection point of the X to fit perfectly!
In addition, side braces have been added to connect the braces on the front and back plates to more reliably transmit the string vibration to the back plate!
The NECK is made of mahogany and rosewood in a 5-piece construction for greater strength against warping and twisting! In addition, the fretboard is 1mm thinner at the 10th fret 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! The back side of the head has been treated with rosewood veneer and volute processing to strengthen the head section!
The string height and pitch between strings have also been changed on the new model, 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.
The neck joint shape used on the Custom model has been adopted. The dovetail section is 4mm deeper to obtain a rich sustain!
