Here for sale we have a Yamaha LJ16 A.R.E Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in China in 2017, this all-solid wood constructed guitar consists of a solid Engelmann Spruce A.R.E top, solid Rosewood back and sides, a 5ply Mahogany and Rosewood neck, and a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Die-cast gold tuners, an Ebony bridge, and an SRT Zero Impact Pickup system.
The 5ply Mahogany & Rosewood neck sits very comfortably in the hand, with a profile that could be described as a ‘C’, feeling slim in the hand and offering ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 15.75” radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing surface making both chordal and fingerpicking styles of playing a breeze. The LJ body design fills the arms nicely, and provides a lively and responsive playing experience with a sound that can really be felt.
The mixture of Solid Engelmann Spruce and Rosewood provides rich, warm, and responsive sounds, this with the modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L series’ characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone. This helps to balance the highs, mids, and lows of the guitar's sound, and accommodates a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The SRT Zero Impact Pickup provides a natural and balanced amplified sound, faithfully reproducing the guitar's acoustic tone with the added simplicity of no controls, this guitar provides a great plug in and play singer/songwriter guitar.
