Yamaha LL36 ARE acoustic western guitar

General

Yamaha's LL36 is a western guitar with a finish similar to much more expensive custom shop models. It's safe to say that this guitar features cosmetic and technical superiority, and of the three LL36 models, this one has the largest body - an original jumbo model. Thanks to its large body, the LL36 ARE has a lot of power to offer, making it perfect for acoustic support of one or more singers. This model is also a great choice for solo work. Because of its all-solid construction, it has excellent resonance with a direct, open sound. Enjoy your playing even more with the inspiring sound of this jumbo!

Acoustic Resonance Enhancement

A great guitar benefits greatly from good wood, but the age and handling of the wood affect the sound a lot, too. In this case, "Acoustic Resonance Enhancement" are the magic words. This is a special process developed by Yamaha to alter new wood to take on the rich, full sound of the wood found on vintage guitars. By means of precisely adjusting the temperature, moisture and air pressure of the Engelmann spruce top, its molecular makeup is actually changed, and it becomes the same as the settled, experienced wood you'd normally have to wait for years to get out of a new guitar.

Yamaha LL36 ARE: construction and equipment

Yamaha designed the neck to work optimally for the modern traditional guitarist. As such, it has a comfortable neck profile. Additionally, the headstock, neck and body are seamlessly connected to one another with an adjustable truss rod, and a volute offers extra stability for the headstock. The ebony fretboard, with its fine graining, plays smoothly, even when you're bending the strings. Details such as the abalone body binding and inlays, along with the tortoise pickguard add an elegant touch, and combined with the gold-plated tuners for stable tuning and the nitrocellulose lacquer for a gleaming, durable gloss, the LL36 ARE is a classy, complete instrument. Finally, you can easily transport this fine guitar with the included soft case.
