- 40 Years of Premium Guitars Yamahas L Series Acoustic Guitars have been around for 40 years and are renowned for being a revered line of handcrafted acoustic guitars known for their tonal quality fine tone woods and impeccable workmanship. They now feature several new innovations that deliver classic quality value and a genuine redesign befitting for a 40th anniversary model. Acoustic Resonance Enhancement The Yamaha LJ16ARE is a ground up redesign from Yamahas guitar team. Featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top now treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha produces a tonal richness that can only be found in a vintage instrument that has been played for many years. This Yamaha-developed process involves the precise control of temperature humidity and atmospheric pressure to manipulate the molecular properties of wood to provide a more acoustically ideal condition. Modified Bracing Pattern Significantly the LJ16ARE has a redesigned non-scalloped bracing pattern introducing a lower bracing height and shape that improves the vibration of the top board and tonal transference throughout the guitar. This innovative new feature creates a balanced low end a crisp top end an increase in volume and characteristics in keeping with current market demands. New Improved Neck Profile Improvements to the feel of the neck on the the L series makes them immediately comfortable to play. Refining the neck profile means all the models now have a five-ply design and the L series has a lower string action and wider string spacing. The LJ16ARE also features an Ebony fingerboard which adds to the overall quality of this stunning instrument Jumbo Body Shape The benefit of a jumbo body shape delivers a powerful projection as there is more space for the sound to reverberate around the body. It offers quality and balance with a bassy low-end. It is particularly ideal for seated guitarists as it provides a comfortable fit. Electronics Compared to the original range of L Series these upgraded models come with an unobtrusive passive under-saddle SRT Zero Impact Pickup for live applications that does not affect the unplugged sound or detract from the guitars gorgeous finishes.
