The Yamaha LL16-12 ARE 12-String Electro Acoustic Guitar Natural is a 12-string electro acoustic guitar, featuring a spruce top, a rosewood back and sides, a mahogany and rosewood neck, an ebony fretboard, and a natural finish. Perfect for a big, bold acoustic sound, and perfectly suited to the wide tonal range of a 12-string, the LL16-12’s use of solid Englemann spruce and solid rosewood makes for excellent projection and a superbly balanced, powerful sound.
A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L series’ characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone. A reevaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper led to a new neck shape that better fits today’s raditional players. New 5-ply neck designs are constructed of rosewood and mahogany. 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.
This traditional Yamaha body style is known for its rich volume, a wide dynamic range, and excellent tonal balance. Beautiful, transparent tone is the result of a design that has been refined by artists around the globe. Based on the LL16, the new LL16D features intricate abalone inlay work around the body and sound hole. The inlays look particularly nice on stage where they beautifully reflect the stage lights. In addition to the natural finish, black is also available.
