The Yamaha LL16?12HB ARE LL Series 12-String Guitar is a masterpiece crafted for discerning musicians and enthusiasts alike. At its heart lies a meticulously hand-selected solid Engelmann spruce top, meticulously treated with Yamaha’s cutting-edge A.R.E. process. This innovative technique transforms the wood’s molecular properties by simulating years of aging, using precise control over atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity. The A.R.E. process creates guitars that exude the warm, resonant tones of a season instrument right from the very first strum.

Complementing the LL16’s top-notch craftsmanship is its exquisite solid Rosewood back and sides, delivering rich, complex overtones and a visually striking appearance. Yamaha’s commitment to superior construction is evident in the modified non-scalloped bracing design, which imparts a bright and vibrant character to the guitar’s sound while enhancing the low-end depth. Whether you’re fingerpicking intricate melodies or strumming with vigor, this guitar responds with impeccable clarity and projection.

But the Yamaha LL16 isn’t just about acoustic excellence it’s also equipped with the SRT Zero Impact passive pickup system, designed to faithfully reproduce the guitar’s natural, dynamic sound. With individual piezo-electric elements for each string, you’ll experience a full and distinctive tone whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio. The Yamaha LL16 ARE is more than just a guitar; it’s an instrument that encapsulates the passion and innovation Yamaha has poured into their acoustic guitar craftsmanship. Elevate your musical journey with the Yamaha LL16 ARE where tradition meets technology, and every note resonates with soulful brilliance.
