Choice materials and Yamaha’s unique ability to blend
traditional skills with advanced manufacturing techniques deliver
instruments of exceptional quality at a price that’s hard to beat.
New Bracing Designs
All L-series guitars benefit from a new non-scalloped bracing design
that delivers tone that is thick and well focused. The #36 and #26 model
instruments add a square bracing design which utilizes side braces to
connect the brace closest to the sound hole on the top, to its opposite
brace on the back. This arrangement transmits string resonance to the
back much quicker, causing the entire instrument to come alive with bass
response, which the player feels as well.
Body Selection
Whether you prefer a full-sized LL dreadnought, small-sized LS body, or
auditorium-sized LJ, the choice is yours. Each of these body styles is
represented in each class letting you choose the instrument that meets
your requirements for sound, style, and affordability.
Cutaway Body
Venetian cutaways offer access to the upper frets while adding beauty to
these fine instruments.
Tuners
The vintage style brass tuners found on all #26 model guitars present
these instruments with a classic look.
Bridge
The bridges on all new L-Series guitars offer more overall mass than
their predecessors to deliver greater tone from these instruments. Their
designs feature smooth lines and edges to keep the playing surface
unencumbered.
Five-Piece Neck Designs
The five-piece necks on the #36 and #26 models are carved from a single
laminated block that features two layers of padauk - an extremely hard
wood used for marimba tone bars - sandwiched between three layers of
mahogany. This design creates a neck that is exceptionally strong and
stable-great for those players who prefer low string height. The #16 and
#6 model instruments utilize similar 3-ply design of rosewood between
two layers of mahogany.
