The flagship model of Yamaha's L Series, made in Japan

The L Series is renowned worldwide as Yamaha’s pinnacle of acoustic guitars.
Even after 40 years since its release, the "L" continues to be cherished by countless artists as a legendary instrument. What is the true value of the "L"? It is none other than its ability to consistently deliver 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.

The LJ’s body is designed to provide a comfortable fit for players performing while seated. It features a wide dynamic range, from a substantial low end to crisp high frequencies, making it suitable for everything from lead playing to strumming.
Featuring a medium jumbo body and an all-solid construction, it features Englemann spruce for the top and rosewood for the sides and back.
The top has been treated with our proprietary "A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)" process. This achieves a rich tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years.
The bracing uses the same non-scalloped X-bracing as before, and by adding side braces that connect the top and back braces, it ensures that string vibrations are transmitted more reliably to the back.
The neck features a 5-piece construction of mahogany and rosewood to ensure strength against warping and twisting. The headstock is reinforced with a rosewood veneer and volute shaping on the back.
The neck profile is 1 mm thinner at the 10th fret compared to previous models, improving playability in the higher positions. Furthermore, the rounded edge of the fingerboard ensures a smooth playing experience that fits comfortably in the hand.
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.
The neck joint design used in the Custom models has been adopted. The depth of the dovetail joint has been increased by 4mm to achieve rich sustain.
To maximize the resonance of the guitar body and the character of the wood, the entire body is finished with a stone-powder-sealed lacquer coating.
The Japanese-made L Series offers excellent response and dynamics, allowing you to experience rich harmonics—please give it a try.
