The Yamaha LS16 ARE is a high-quality acoustic guitar designed for players seeking a well-balanced tone with exceptional clarity. It features a solid Engelmann spruce top treated with Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (ARE) technology, which gives it a rich, matured tone similar to vintage guitars. The solid rosewood back and sides contribute to warm lows, detailed mids, and crisp highs, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle players and strummers alike. 

With a concert body shape, the LS16 offers a comfortable playing experience without sacrificing projection. The 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck provides stability and smooth playability, while the ebony fingerboard enhances note articulation. The guitar also includes Yamaha’s Zero Impact passive pickup, ensuring a natural, dynamic sound when plugged in while maintaining the pure acoustic tone.

Blending modern craftsmanship with traditional design, the Yamaha LS16 ARE is a versatile and elegant instrument. Whether used for stage performance or studio recording, it delivers a refined sound with impressive sustain and tonal depth.
