This is the left-handed version of the LL16 ARE. The L16 models are characterized by their excellent solid woods, first-rate Engelmann spruce top carefully selected for the top, and rosewood/mahogany in the sides and back. The new bracing design and the treatment with A.R.E. technology give these guitars a warm, nuanced sound with great resonance, while maintaining an optimal tonal balance. For all these reasons, these guitars always find their perfect place in a band setting. Additionally, the new, highly comfortable neck profile and the Zero Impact pickup developed by Yamaha are two more reasons to feel confident and comfortable on stage.

A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) is a wood treatment technology originally developed by Yamaha. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, it manipulates the molecular properties of the wood to achieve ideal acoustic characteristics, similar to those of woods that have been played for many years.
