The L Series is world-renowned as Yamaha’s flagship line of acoustic guitars.
Even 40 years after its release, the “L” continues to be cherished by countless artists as a legendary instrument…
It is simply because 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 consistently met the expectations of players. That is the L Series.

In March 2014, the L Series was revamped for the first time in 10 years!
The LL16 was reborn as the LL16 ARE, and this model is the premium version of the LL16 ARE.
Featuring the original jumbo body and an all-solid construction, it features Engelmann spruce for the top and rosewood for the sides and back.

This new model is equipped with a “passive pickup,” allowing you to connect it directly to an amplifier. (Cable sold separately.)
The pickups use the same piezo elements as those found in SRT models used in electro-acoustic guitars like the APX and CPX. They offer excellent response and ample output!
A “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.
