A Historic Reference of the LL Series, Born in the Japan Custom Shop
The Yamaha LL36 embodies Yamaha luthiers' expertise at the highest level. The "model 36" is presented as the first model handcrafted in the Japan Custom Shop workshops, with particular attention to material selection, A.R.E. treatment, and finishing details. Within the range, the LL36 represents Yamaha's "showcase" vision for a prestigious folk guitar: sumptuous woods, meticulous craftsmanship, and impeccable aesthetics (binding and inlays).
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The LL36 ARE II is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end acoustic guitar that is expressive and reliable both in the studio and on stage. Its LL-shape format (in the spirit of a dreadnought) suits powerful accompaniment (pop, acoustic rock, country) as well as more nuanced playing (fingerstyle, picking, ballads), thanks to an excellent balance across bass, midrange, and treble registers.
Sound
The solid Engelmann spruce top provides a soft attack, great sensitivity to nuances, and harmonic richness ideal for delicate dynamics. The solid rosewood back and sides enhance bass depth, controlled brightness in the treble, and generous sustain, giving a sense of width and "relief" in the sound. The A.R.E. treatment contributes to a more open and complex response, while the lacquered finish aids in clear projection and precise definition, especially appreciated for full chords and detailed arpeggios.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this folk guitar, you can opt for a set of acoustic folk guitar strings (steel) with a gauge suited to your playing style (for example, 012-053 for a good balance of comfort and power). A guitar humidifier is also recommended to preserve the solid woods during seasonal changes. A case is already included for transport and protection.
