L-Series LL6 Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Mahogany, Natural

quality for the money. This is one of the best guitars in it's price point to me. Yamaha makes some very nice acoustics these days. I did have to adjust the truss rod on the original set of Elixir strings it came with as the neck clearly had moved from where it was originally set. They were way too high off the fretboard and had too much tension. I say that as a player for more than 30 years and someone who worked in different shops over the years too, learning some luthier skills. Also playing many guitars and knowing Yamaha's common setup. I did change the strings to 11-52 Elixir Polywebs and take the bridge saddle down a little, but you don't need to. This is just my preference for how I want the guitar to play and sound. It would be nice if the LL6M models I bought came with a gig bag atleast, but you can't have it all. I was on the fence on whether to get one of the LL16's or higher, but I'm very happy with the LL6M. I am mainly an electric player in a heavier, but melodic rock and progressive style, and only use acoustic for certain parts in my studio these days. It's a nice sounding and playing acoustic and will do everything I need it to. Maybe for you too.

Construction: The LL6M has a solid Engelmann spruce top, which gives it a bright and clear sound. The back and sides are made of mahogany, which adds warmth and depth to the tone. The guitar also features a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, which provide excellent sustain and resonance. Playability: One of the standout features of the LL6M is its playability. The C-shaped neck is comfortable to hold and play, even for extended periods of time. The guitar also has a low action, which makes it easy to play without sacrificing tone or volume. Summary: Overall, the Yamaha LL6M is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality acoustic guitar that is both easy to play and has a warm, rich sound. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the LL6M is sure to impress. Its combination of excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail make it one of the best guitars in its price range. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a dreadnought-style acoustic guitar that is easy to play and has a warm, rich sound, the Yamaha LL6M is an excellent choice.

This is a very well made guitar, nice fit and finish except for one small run in the finish on the back of the neck joint out of sight. Very nice tone, crisp and loud. I prefer the tone of a Mahagony guitar over rosewood and the laminated construction of this model lowers the price and I don't think it reduces the quality of the sound by much if at all. I'm sure I might hear the difference if I had a solid wood guitar in the other hand but I liked the tone of this one. I have played guitars at all price levels over a 60 year period and I liked the tone of this one. The issue was the frets. They are thin and have a funky shape so when you slide up the neck your fingers have to get over these speed bumps which I did not personally care for. This was not an issue for garden variety strumming just sliding leads which is not the most common use of an acoustic guitar. The neck is slightly thicker than the most common width at the nut which is better for big hands and finger picking. If you don't care about the frets, its worth the money and a nice looking instrument.
