The LL56 Custom is the guitar that serious players who know Yamaha reach for when they want the company’s finest work - a specification that rivals anything produced by the world’s most celebrated acoustic guitar workshops, delivered with the consistency, quality control, and material selection that only Yamaha’s unique combination of master craftsmanship and world-class manufacturing infrastructure can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe defining tonal innovation of the LL56 Custom ARE is Yamaha’s proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment applied to the solid Engelmann spruce top - a process that thermally and chemically modifies the cellular structure of the wood to replicate the acoustic properties of aged tonewoods, producing a top that delivers the warmth, openness, and harmonic richness of a decades-old instrument from the very first note. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides contribute the deep, complex, and brilliantly projecting tonal character that makes rosewood the benchmark back and sides material for jumbo acoustic guitar construction, while a modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L Series’ characteristic brightness while enhancing low-end response and warmth. The 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck with volute and rosewood veneer on the back of the headstock provides extraordinary stability and tonal coupling, while ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, abalone and wood rosette, abalone and maple and stained wood body binding, die-cast gold tuners, tortoiseshell pickguard, and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete a flagship specification of genuine luxury and considered refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 2023-built guitar is in superb condition, with minimal playwear and a great medium action. It sounds enormous, and perfectly exemplifies Yamaha's famous clarity and sustain, with incredible harmonic depth and a responsiveness. We don't see too many of these higher-end Yamahas on the used market, but this is a wonderful example of the craftsmanship and tonality that makes them so sought-after. Comes with Yamaha original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Engelmann spruce top treated with Yamaha’s proprietary A.R.E.
