Product Description

With a solid Engelmann spruce top, rosewood body, multilayered mahogany/rosewood reinforced neck, and ebony fretboard, the Yamaha LS6 acoustic guitar can be judged an excellent deal on materials alone. Yet where this concert body 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 and-sanding the frets, is done in a small factory by master craftsmen.Body topMost manufacturers are using Sitka spruce tops for their high end models. In Yamaha's experience, Engelmann spruce (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 & sideYamaha 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 blockThe 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.BracingX-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 neckTraditionally, 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.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful EXCELLENT GUITAR!, March 22, 2011 By  L. Bentancur - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Yamaha L Series LS6 Concert Acoustic Guitar with Deluxe Gig Bag Natural Excellent sounding a really nice finger picker! Deep and rich sounding, works well while singing. Very surprised how incredible it sounds. The case is built well to protect the Yamaha LS6. It comes with Yamaha strings, they are sharp and rough, but you can always change them. When I play each note it has a clear and crisp sound. This guitar is built with quality. Playing it it's simply remarkable, can't put it down. My wife say's I love it tooo much. For the price it is a must have. I have played many other guitars at the guitar center and they don't compare to this Yamaha. I think it will hold its own against those more expensive guitars. This guitar is well worth it. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comment
