Yamaha LL16ARE Jumbo Acoustic Sunburst 2014
Yamaha LL16ARE, sunburst, made in Taiwan 2014. I'm a fan of a big sunburst acoustic, and this one is a real treat. Yamaha's LL series are some of their higher end production models, so this beauty is made from all solid Englemann spruce and rosewood. It's a generous tone: loud, bright, crisp and balanced, with a lovely dry midrange and plenty of oomph down low. The neck is a comfy, moderate C style shape, and with the five ply construction, it should stay super stable for decades to come. This comes with a handy passive piezo pickup and a hard case. LL= lucky life.
