40 Years of the L Series: A Dreadnought Designed to Last
To celebrate 40 years of the L series, Yamaha highlights an approach that has built its reputation: meticulous craftsmanship, premium woods, and consistent manufacturing quality. The 16 series holds a strategic place in the lineup, marking the entry into fully solid construction within the L series, featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), now extended to all models in the series.
Who Is This Left-Handed Guitar For?
This dreadnought is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists (and demanding beginners) seeking an expressive acoustic capable of supporting long-term progress. Its format and power reserve make it particularly comfortable in pop, folk, acoustic rock, country, and pick playing, while remaining responsive in fingerstyle when the attack is lighter.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Engelmann spruce top delivers precise attack and beautiful clarity in the upper spectrum, often with a more "velvety" touch than some stiffer spruces. The A.R.E. treatment promotes a sense of openness: better responsiveness, more present harmonics, and a more natural dynamic from the first hours of playing. The solid rosewood (back and sides) enhances bass depth, midrange complexity, and treble brightness, with ample sustain and excellent note separation. When amplified, the SRT Zero Impact Pickup aims for faithful reproduction, practical for stage and recording without sacrificing acoustic balance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of it, consider a set of folk strings for acoustic guitar (steel) suited to your touch (light gauge for more comfort, medium for more volume), a tuner (clip-on or pedal), and a universal stand for storage. A hard bag is included for transport.
