The Yamaha LLX16TSB is the acoustic electric version of the LL16 handcrafted guitar. Since the 1980's, Yamaha’s L-Series handcrafted acoustic guitars have been the flagship of their acoustic guitar line. They have been played by legions of artists including Jimmy Page, Brian May, Paul Simon and John Lennon. The new acoustic electric models like the LL16X combine premium solid woods with class leading pickup/pre-amp technology.
The LLX16TSB features the System 60 ART preamp used on Yamaha's LL26 and LL36 models. The System 60 couples the 3-way A.R.T sensor system to an exclusive preamp which offers ultra-simple controls (3 independent pickup volumes – bass, full-range, treble - and master volume) with hi-fi grade components for the most transparent, powerful acoustic electric system available.
Using custom-designed, calibrated push-push pots, the System 60 controls are designed to offer stage-friendly ergonomics but can be hidden away and not detract from the traditional looks of the L-Series when not in use. The L-Series A.R.T system faithfully reproduces the stunning tone of the L-Series guitars with complete transparency – both in terms of sound and playing experience.
The new Yamaha LLX16TSB Handcrafted acoustic guitar has a solid Engelmann Spruce top and solid Rosewood back and sides. It also features a new non-scalloped bracing design that delivers a beautiful and well balanced tone. Choice materials and Yamaha's unique ability to blend traditional skills with advanced manufacturing make the Yamaha LLX16 an exceptional guitar at a price that's hard to beat.
The bridge on the Yamaha LLX16 offers more overall mass than their predecessors to deliver greater tone. The design features smooth lines and edges to keep the playing surface unencumbered. The neck on the LLX16TSB is a 3-ply design of rosewood between two layers of mahogany.
If you're searching for an acoustic electric guitar with a truly great sound, made with quality materials and workmanship, this is it. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to get a quality instrument.
