Yamaha LL16D ARE Original Jumbo Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural Premium | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha LL16D ARE Original Jumbo Acoustic-electric Guitar represents premium Japanese craftsmanship with innovative A.R.E. aging technology and stunning visual appointments. This professional jumbo features hand-selected solid Engelmann spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides, delivering rich, mature tone enhanced by abalone snowflake inlays and premium binding. Perfect for advanced players, recording artists, and performers seeking exceptional tonal quality with distinctive visual elegance and cutting-edge pickup technology.
Product Overview
The LL16D showcases Yamaha's mastery of acoustic innovation through the proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, which artificially ages the solid Engelmann spruce top to achieve the rich, complex tone typically found only in vintage instruments played for decades. This advanced treatment creates molecular changes in the wood that replicate extensive playing wear, resulting in immediate tonal maturity and enhanced harmonic complexity.
The premium solid rosewood back and sides provide exceptional sustain and woody richness, while the jumbo body size ensures powerful projection and deep bass response. Yamaha's refined non-scalloped bracing pattern specifically enhances bass frequencies while maintaining clarity and note definition across all registers. This combination creates an instrument capable of filling large venues with authoritative acoustic presence.
Visual appointments rival those of much more expensive instruments, featuring stunning abalone snowflake fingerboard inlays and elaborate abalone, maple, and black body binding that frames the premium tonewoods beautifully. The ultra-stable 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck with ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability with enhanced string height and spacing that improves comfort and precision.
