Acoustic Resonance Enhancement

Yamaha developed a complex wood treatment to build the LL16L. To mimic the richness of sound produced by matured wood, a fresh piece of Engelmann spruce is treated with a precise cocktail of temperature, air pressure and moisture in order to change the molecular makeup of the wood to age and enhance it. This process of Acoustic Resonance Enhancement means that every LL16 ARE that leaves the factory is immediately endowed with the rich tone of a guitar 20 or 30 years its senior. Finally, this versatile Yamaha lefty guitar comes with a soft case. This outstanding Yamaha has excellent playability and comes with a soft case.
