Yamaha L Series LL6 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with Case

Hand selected materials, handcrafted construction - at an amazing price.




With a solid Engelmann spruce top, multilayered
mahogany/rosewood reinforced neck, and ebony fretboard, the Yamaha LL6
acoustic guitar can be judged an excellent deal on materials alone. Yet
where this dreadnought really shines is on the strength of its
handcrafted construction by expert Japanese luthiers. Every step in the
creation of this excellent musical instrument, from tonewood selection
to hand-sanding the frets, is done in a small factory by master
craftsmen.

Body top

Most manufacturers are using Sitka
spruce tops for their high end models. In Yamaha's experience, Engelmann
spruce from Canada naturally suits the role for top woods better than
any other. The overriding quality for body top material is an allowance
for resonance and Engelmann spruce has this attribute in abundance. It
is a light wood that is easy to work and enables a good tone response
with a wide harmonic range. Visually Engelmann spruce is comfortable on
the eye and its opaque light yellow tint is reminiscent of a mature
acoustic instrument.

Back & side

Yamaha uses
rosewood for both the back and sides on all the L series models. The
rosewood blends extremely well with the Engelmann spruce top. It
disperses resonance evenly and effortlessly.

Neck block

The
neck block reinforces the neck joint. Yamaha has improved the
conventional C block design by enlarging the surface area that is in
contact with the top of the guitar. The block securely meets the
underside of the top adding a real depth to the tone of the instrument.

Bracing

X-bracing
maps out the vibration patterns of the guitar. Each of the eight braces
has been carefully positioned in order to bring out the tone in a
balanced fashion and find a natural harmony with the guitar's tone
woods.

Multilayered reinforced neck

Traditionally, an
acoustic guitar neck is carved from a single timber block. As the grain
of the timber has to be angled at about 14 degrees to accommodate the
headstock, it leaves itself vulnerable to excessive stress. To alleviate
the potential of neck movement over time, Yamaha has introduced
multilayered necks.

The LL6 model features a strip of rosewood
set into the center of the mahogany neck. Rosewood has been chosen for
its rigidity and the way it complements mahogany tonally.

Bridge

The
unique larger bridge on the LL6 provides a more efficient transfer of
the string vibrations to the body of the guitar, giving a tight, clear
midrange and a full, balanced tone. Handcrafted with chamfered edges,
the bridge design offers a perfect balance of tone, comfort, and style.

Yamaha
has over thirty years experience of crafting quality steel string
instruments by hand. Today's L series guitars are a testament to the
decades of that extensive research and development work.

Yamaha design themes center around the following points:

A
balanced tone and response. The ultimate goal. Bass and treble must
complement each other, encouraging inspiration from the guitarist rather
than compensation.

Dovetail neck joint. Since the '70s, Yamaha
has adopted a unique dovetail neck joint. This particular joint gives
the guitar the excellent surface to surface (neck to body) contact. In
the joint there is nothing but timber. This enables and indeed
encourages resonance flow from the neck to the body, aiding the
achievement of a balanced tone and response.

Blending of woods.
Yamaha's experience of blending quality woods ensures that the highs are
really sustained and note texture is under maximum control at all times
by the player.

Body Designs. Yamaha's original L series has
shoulders that are slightly more slender than a standard dreadnought
design and the body has been designed to be subtly wider. This gives the
guitar a more definite tone.

Lacquer expertise. Without a doubt,
one of Yamaha's most significant strengths. They work very closely with
lacquer manufacturers. The focus being less is more. Specially
developed finishing materials, unique to Yamaha are used on handcrafted
models. Ultimately, this gives the guitar every chance to breathe and
tonally shine. A good acoustic guitar must feel alive and not simply
just sound good!
