Yamaha LS16 A.R.E Englemann Spruce/Rosewood Concert Guitar w/Electronics #0095

The Yamaha LS16 A.R.E. Concert is part of Yamaha’s acclaimed L Series, a line built for players who demand rich tone, premium materials, and exceptional comfort. Its solid Engelmann spruce top is treated with Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, giving it the warm, mature tone of a well-aged instrument right out of the case. Paired with solid rosewood back and sides, the LS16 produces a balanced voice with lush overtones and impressive sustain that suits fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters alike. The five-ply mahogany and rosewood neck adds strength and stability while maintaining a natural feel, and the ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive surface under the fingers. Die-cast gold tuners keep tuning secure and precise, and the elegant abalone rosette and maple binding add a touch of sophistication to its appearance. For stage or studio use, the LS16 features Yamaha’s SRT piezo pickup, offering an authentic and natural acoustic tone when amplified. With its comfortable concert body shape, premium woods, and advanced build quality, the LS16 A.R.E. stands out as one of Yamaha’s finest all-solid guitars in its class.
