The Yamaha LL 16 D ARE Natural acoustic guitar in original jumbo size offers versatile use and luxurious playing comfort thanks to its outstanding quality and functionality. Composed of the finest materials, the instrument also produces a distinctly defined sound that unfolds quickly and completely. Last but not least, the Yamaha LL 16 D ARE owes its unique dynamics to an A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment of the top wood, which optimizes the molecular structure of the material with regard to its acoustic properties. The instrument is refined by detailed inlays of abalone and a wafer-thin high-gloss finish. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy hard bag.
To produce powerful bass, defined midrange and fine treble frequencies, the manufacturer relies on a construction consisting of an Engelmann spruce top and rosewood body. Combined with the original jumbo size, the full-bodied acoustic guitar produces every note with a fast response and lets it decay long-lasting. A 5-piece mahogany and rosewood neck with a flat profile allows the player perfect access to all 20 frets set into an ebony fingerboard. So even extensive fingering patterns can be mastered easily and obligingly.
The characteristic headstock is equipped with gold-colored die-cast tuners, which add a high-class touch to the overall appearance and guarantee precise tuning of the 6 steel strings, which end in an ebony bridge. The light top wood is bordered by a multi-ply binding of abalone and maple, which creates a tasteful transition to the dark tonewood of the rib. The LL 16D ARE is completed by a passive SRT Piezo pickup system, which also amplifies the acoustic sound authentically.
