Yamaha LS6 ARE Brown Sunburst Electro-Acoustic Guitar

General

The guitar department at Yamaha really pulled out all the stops with their LS series. These acoustic guitars are elegant and tasteful, and fashioned from only high-quality materials. The LS6 ARE Brown Sunburst is a beautiful member of this series with its lovely finish and solid spruce top. Not only is the top solid spruce, but instead of being the typical European spruce, this wood was harvested from the American mid-west to offer light weight and a solid sound. The LS6 ARE is capable of a lot of volume and always stays true to its characteristic bright, open sound. Furthermore, this inspiring Yamaha steel-string guitar comes with a soft case, so it will be protected and remain easy to transport when you're on your way to gigs or on tour.

Yamaha LS6 ARE: Characteristics

Rosewood was chosen for the sides and back, and the neck is a combination of both rosewood and mahogany. Thanks to the neck's 5-part construction, it is not susceptible to bending or warping. Moreover, the LS6 ARE is constructed in such a way that the neck is seamlessly connected to the body, to provide optimal sound. The traditional neck profile was developed with a focus on playing comfort over the entire length of the 20-fret bound fingerboard, and the fingerboard additionally features mother-of-pearl position markers. The body's interior features a new and improved bracing pattern that works to optimise the bass response without drowning out high notes.

Acoustic Resonance Enhancement & SRT Zero Impact

Something special about the top is the Yamaha ARE process it underwent. This process is a wood-handling technique that controls temperature, air pressure and moisture to change the molecular structure of the wood. The result is a top that sounds as if it's years old, so it provides a sound that is richer and more open. Finally, the LS6 ARE Brown Sunburst features an SRT Zero Impact contact pickup, so that you can amplify your guitar on the stage or in the studio without decreasing the integrity of the original acoustic sound while maintaining maximum resonance capacity.
