Manufacturer's Description:

The Yamaha LL16D acoustic-electric guitar combines high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship with exquisite abalone inlays, resulting in an instrument that is both sonically impressive and visually striking. Upholding the tradition of Yamaha's L Series, the LL16D features a hand-selected solid Engelmann spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, producing a rich and warm tonal quality. Its ultra-stable 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck, along with an ebony fretboard, provide a smooth playing experience. The slimmer neck profile and refined fingerboard edge enhance the feel and playability of the LL16D. Additionally, the passive SRT Zero Impact Pickup employs six distinct elements to accurately capture the sound of each string, delivering authentic tones when amplified. The Yamaha LL16D offers exceptional playability and remarkable sound quality in a premium acoustic-electric guitar.

The exceptional tonal quality and effortless playability of the LL16D can be attributed to Yamaha's relentless pursuit of excellence. The innovative A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technique imparts a well-worn and mature sound to the guitar. By regulating atmospheric conditions such as pressure, temperature, and humidity, the wood's molecular characteristics are altered to replicate those of a guitar that has been extensively played. Additionally, each L Series guitar features a refined non-scalloped bracing pattern that bolsters the instrument's bass response. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck has undergone a thorough reassessment of string height and spacing, resulting in a new design that enhances playability. The Yamaha LL16D incorporates cutting-edge advancements in guitar craftsmanship, delivering an instrument that is both remarkably playable and sonically impressive.
