Yamaha LJ56 AREII Acoustic Guitar

The L Series flagship models, the L56 Custom, is crafted by a master luthier using only the finest hand-selected materials/ Not only does the sound deliver rich and warm acoustic resonance but the detailed cosmetics make this instrument a beautiful piece of art.

LJ: Medium Jumbo Body

The LJ body shape is designed to provide guitarists with a comfortable fit when seated. While volume output is a little less than the LL, the LJ offers a wide dynamic range, a low-end with strong presence, and a crisp tone that accommodates a wide range of playing styles from lead to strumming.

A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)

A.R.E. is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years.

New Design Bracing Pattern

A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L series characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone.

High Comfortable Traditional Neck Profile

A reevaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper led to a new neck shape that better fits today's traditional players. The new design offers stable grip and smooth playability over the full length of the neck.

5-Ply Necks

The 5-ply neck of mahogany and rosewood designed with a volute at the headstock plus a double action adjustable rod creates a neck with excellent strength and stability.

Choice of Rosewood or Mahogany Back and Sides

The lineup now includes models with back and sides of mahogany letting you choose according to your playing style and tonal needs. Rosewood models off well-balanced tone from low to high, while mahogany provides rich low-end with quick response.

SRT Zero Impact Pickups

The SRT Zero Impact Pickup system is a newly developed passive type pickup configuration designed to minimize the pickups impact on the tone and traditional appearance of the instrument. The system utilizes individual piezoelectric elements for each string to faithfully reproduce the dynamic sound of the L Series and give the instrument outstanding presence when playing in a band.
