It delivers the strong projection and headroom players expect from a larger body guitar while maintaining a more balanced and controlled response across the frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to many standard dreadnought designs, the LL body offers a broader and more open character with clearer note separation and a more controlled low end. This makes the LL16 ARE especially versatile for players who move between strumming, flatpicking, fingerstyle playing, and vocal accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-solid construction gives the LL16 ARE greater tonal complexity, resonance, and responsiveness compared to laminate-based designs, allowing the guitar to feel more open and dynamic as it continues to age and develop over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid Engelmann spruce top features Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, designed to create a warmer and more mature tonal response from the start. Combined with solid rosewood back and sides, the LL16 ARE produces a deeper and more harmonically complex voice with robust bass response, sparkling highs, and rich overtone content while maintaining excellent clarity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the standout construction details in the LL series is the 5-ply mahogany\/rosewood neck, which improves long-term structural stability while contributing to the guitar’s dependable feel over time. Yamaha’s SRT Zero Impact pickup system is designed to preserve the instrument’s natural acoustic voice without affecting resonance or vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith all-solid construction, A.R.E.-treated tops, 5-ply neck construction, and refined L Series appointments, the LL series delivers features and construction rarely found at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in Dark Tinted gloss, the LL16 ARE blends understated modern aesthetics with Yamaha’s refined L Series design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Jumbo body design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha’s take on the traditional dreadnought body shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-solid wood construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Engelmann spruce top with A.R.E. treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid rosewood back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-ply mahogany\/rosewood neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSRT Zero Impact passive pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone nut and saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Original Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 650 mm (25 9\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Length: 513 mm (20 3\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Length: 1046 mm (41 3\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Width: 415 mm (16 5\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Depth: 100-125 mm (3 15\/16\" - 4 15\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 44 mm (1 3\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 11 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Solid Engelmann Spruce with A.R.E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Material: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 5-Ply Mahogany\/Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: R400 mm (15 3\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Die-Cast Gold Open-Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Maple + Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole Inlay: Abalone + Black + White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Dark Tinted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Matt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Modified Non-Scalloped Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: SRT Zero Impact Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: Line Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir NANOWEB 80\/20 Bronze Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hard Bag Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108444721289,"sku":"LL16ARE-DT","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/LL16ARE-DT-PP-JPG.jpg?v=1779333544","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-ll16-are-original-jumbo-acoustic-electric-guitar-dark-tinted-finish","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
