Yamaha LL6 A.R.E. Handcrafted Acoustic Electric Guitar - LL6ARE

Yamaha LL6 A.R.E. Handcrafted Acoustic Electric Guitar - LL6ARE

The Yamaha LL6 ARE handcrafted acoustic guitar features a solid Englemann Spruce top in combination with a rosewood back and sides. It's ideal for solo or group performances and is stage-ready with its built-in Yamaha Zero Impact pickup system.

Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.)
A.R.E. is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha where the molecular properties of wood are manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition. The idea is that even though you're buying a new guitar, A.R.E. is going to make this guitar sound like a guitar that's been played for years. The Acoustic Resonance Enhancement process works by precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.

SRT Zero Impact Pickup
The Yamaha SRT Zero Impact Pickup system utilizes individual piezoelectric elements for each string that faithfully reproduce the dynamic sound of the guitar and give the instrument an outstanding presence on stage or in the studio. This is a newly developed passive pickup designed to minimize the pickup’s impact on the guitar's tone, without sacrificing its traditional look or full acoustic resonance.

New 5-Ply Neck, And Neck Profile
The LL6R A.R.E. features a new 5-ply neck of rosewood and mahogany that helps to create a richer sound because of the integration of the neck, head, and body into a single unit. New string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper combine to create a new neck shape that better fits today's traditional players because of the stable feel and smooth playability over the entire neck.

Traditional Yamaha LL Body Style
Yamaha guitars are known for their quality construction, excellent tone, and balanced volume. Yamaha LL Series guitars feature a non-scalloped bracing pattern that produces a balanced sound while enhancing low-end response.

The Yamaha LL6R A.R.E. acoustic guitar gives you the quality of the Yamaha brand, and the affordability almost anyone can afford. Add it to the cart and get yours on its way.

• String Care: Clean the strings after every use with a cloth to prevent rust and corrosion. Replace strings when necessary, depending on your playing frequency.
• Fretboard Care: Clean and condition the fretboard with fretboard oil (especially if it’s rosewood) to prevent it from drying out, but avoid using it on maple fretboards.
• Electronics Care: Keep the guitar's electronics dry and avoid exposing the input jack and controls to moisture.
• Humidity Control: Store the guitar in a climate-controlled environment (40-60% humidity) to avoid wood warping or cracking.
• Proper Storage: Always store the guitar in its case when not in use to protect it from physical damage, dust, and environmental changes.
