Yamaha uses Engelmann spruce (Canada) for the LJX6C top because it 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 guitar.

The LJX6C acoustic electric has rosewood for both the back and sides which blends well with the Engelmann spruce top. It disperses resonance evenly and effortlessly. Yamaha has improved the conventional `C` neck 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.

The electronic pickup system in this acoustic electric is the Yamaha System 45 two-way system and includes a 3-band equalizer with adjustable midrange frequency control, a microphone volume control with phase switch and master volume control.

The LJX6C X-bracing maps out the vibration patterns of the guitar. Each of the eight braces is carefully positioned in order to bring out the tone in a balanced fashion and find a natural harmony with the guitar's tone woods. This handcrafted acoustic electric guitar from Yamaha is an exceptional buy; quality build and materials at a very modest price. Includes a hard shell case.
