Incredible

Not enough good I can say about this hard to find guitar. Nothing flashy here, just top notch tone woods and superb craftmanship. As said by someone else, it can whisper and it can bark. Not only does it sound amazing but it's a pleasure to play. This guitar, in my honest opinion, simply out performs all other guitars in and above its price range and the wait was worth it.

Great workmanship

Japanese Made Yamahas are incredible. The workmanship is superb. A beautiful instrument . Sound quality is full and clear. Very impressed with the price.

I own a Martin GPC4R and Taylor 214ce deluxe and this guitar outplays them both!… read more My luthier was very impressed with the quality of this guitar. I added a Fishman pickup and the sound is incredible.

Yamaha LL26 ARE Acoustic Guitar

This has become my go-to guitar. It has a big and loud but lush and well-balanced sound. It's extremely well made, and the care that the builder puts into selection and balancing of tonewoods is immediately obvious. The A.R.E. treatment does exactly what they say it does; this guitar sounds mature. I'll put it up against Martins and other big names for quality and sound any… read more time.
