Acoustic guitar with small type body from LL series that features rosewood back and sides with hand-selected premium Engelmann spruce forming the top, made with Yamaha’s acclaimed A.R.E. treatment creates a rich, warm, open resonance whilst still offering excellent tonal balance. The A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha: through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years. The 5-ply neck design is constructed of rosewood and mahogany plies. The design integrates the neck, head, and body into a single unit creating a powerful, rich sound. This approach also creates a strong, stable neck that resists twisting and warping. A re-evaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper also led to a redesigned neck shape that better fits today’s traditional players. Scale length is 650 mm, body depth is 100-125 mm and but width is 44 mm. Other features include rosewood fingerboard and bridge, gold die-cast tuners and the SRT Zero Impact pickup. A hard bag is included. Natural colour design with urethane finish.
