Yamaha LL16 ARE Acoustic Guitar - Brown Sunburst | Premium Tone & Craftsmanship

The Yamaha LL16 ARE Acoustic Guitar in Brown Sunburst is a high-end instrument built for players who demand exceptional tone and craftsmanship. Featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top with Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, this guitar delivers a rich, aged tone right out of the box. Paired with rosewood back and sides, the LL16 ARE offers a full-bodied, articulate sound with impressive dynamic range.

What is A.R.E. Treatment?

Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is a proprietary wood torrefaction process that artificially ages the wood used in the guitar's construction. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, Yamaha enhances the resonance, stability, and tonal richness of the guitar's top. This process gives the LL16 ARE a mature, vintage-like tone right out of the box, similar to guitars that have been played for decades.
