Seller's description

Yamaha’s flagship acoustic guitar series, the “L” Series, has been redesigned!! The L Series is renowned worldwide as Yamaha’s premier acoustic guitar. Even 40 years after its release, the “L” continues to be cherished by countless artists as a legendary instrument… The reason for its enduring value is simple: it has consistently delivered the highest level of sound and playability demanded by each era.

The neck has been changed from the conventional 3-piece construction to a 5-piece structure combining mahogany and rosewood, providing greater strength against warping and twisting! Additionally, the neck is thinned by 1 mm at the 10th fret, improving playability in the higher positions! Furthermore, the rounded cut of the fingerboard edges ensures a smooth playing experience that fits comfortably in your hand! In this new model, the string height and string spacing have also been adjusted: the 6th string is set slightly lower and the 1st string slightly higher than before, and the string spacing has been widened by 0.3mm. This new model is equipped with a “passive pickup,” allowing you to connect it directly to an amplifier. (Cable sold separately.) The pickups use the same piezo elements as those found in SRT models used in elec
