YAMAHA / LS36 ARE Natural [10]

Yamaha's Top-of-the-Line Acoustic Guitar
From Yamaha’s flagship “L” Series of acoustic guitars, the “LS36 ARE”—Japan’s premier model, showcasing the finest craftsmanship of skilled artisans—has arrived!

The “L” Series ushered in a new era of acoustic guitars in the Japanese music scene, and even more than 40 years after its release, it continues to be cherished by countless artists both in Japan and abroad. Its noble value lies in its craftsmanship, which never ceases to evolve, consistently embodying the sound and playability demanded by each era at the highest level.

Featuring a small body that’s easy to hold and maneuver, this model is crafted from carefully selected all-solid wood. The top is made of high-quality Ingleman spruce treated with “A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement),” Yamaha’s proprietary wood refinement technology. Although brand-new, it produces a deep, rich, and open tone reminiscent of a vintage guitar that has been played and aged over decades.Paired with premium Indian rosewood for the sides and back, it delivers a superb, wide-range sound—from a rich, deep low end that defies its small body size to a brilliant, well-defined high end.

The proprietary non-scalloped X-bracing has been refined into a low-profile square shape, maximizing the precision of the intersection points. Furthermore, the addition of “side braces” connecting the top and back braces ensures that string vibrations are transmitted instantly and without loss throughout the entire body.The overall finish features a “stone-powder-sealed lacquer finish (gloss)” meticulously applied by hand by skilled artisans. This finish never hinders the natural resonance of the wood, bringing out the maximum in exceptional response and dynamics.

The neck section is also packed with luxurious features befitting a flagship model. In addition to a robust 5-piece construction of mahogany and rosewood, the veneer on the back of the headstock and the volute design thoroughly reinforce resistance to warping and twisting.The neck profile, which tapers exquisitely toward the higher frets, the “chamfered fingerboard edges” that feel like they’re drawn to your hand the moment you pick it up, and the deepened dovetail neck joint (designed 4mm deeper)—a direct descendant of the Custom model—all combine to deliver overwhelming sustain and stress-free playability.Furthermore, the string action—fine-tuned to suit modern playing styles—and the string spacing, widened by 0.3mm, allow for the full expression of subtle nuances, from solo guitar to strumming.

With luxurious and beautiful abalone inlays adorning the body’s perimeter and soundhole, along with gold tuning pegs that exude a dazzling sense of luxury, this is truly a masterpiece worthy of being called a work of art. We invite you to experience Yamaha’s pinnacle of craftsmanship—a source of pride for Japan—firsthand.
