Up for sale, a 2014 Yamaha LL36 ARE in showroom clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. The LL36 represents the top tier of Yamaha’s L Series guitars, finely crafted in Japan with solid tonewoods used throughout. The LL36 boasts a solid Engelmann spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, five-ply mahogany/rosewood neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. Premium appointments include a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, maple binding and heelcap, abalone rosette and top binding, and snowflake inlay.

The solid Engelmann spruce top is treated with Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, aging the wood at a molecular level to match the properties of a properly settled and “broken-in” vintage instrument. The “original jumbo” body size has a larger lower bout than a standard dreadnought, while the body is shallower than a jumbo, offering a powerful and broad bass response. The guitar has exquisite projection, with the piano-like clarity and string-to-string balance often attributed to a Martin. The trebles are glassy and clear while also having a smoothness and ideal punch. This LL36 ARE weighs 4lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
