Yamaha L-Series LS6 Concert Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Mahogany, Natural

This is a great guitar - especially at this price point. I am a casual player and did not want to spend too much. This fit the bill.

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.

This is for the Yamaha L-Series LL16 12-string acoustic, which has a solid Engelmann spruce top with solid rosewood back & sides. I've been playing for 30 years. I've bought and sold countless guitars just for myself -- both six and twelve-string. This Yamaha is the best guitar I've owned; I'll never get rid of it. If a giant asteroid ever takes aim at Earth, this guitar is the only thing I'll grab before escaping to another planet. Although it's the most expensive instrument I've bought yet, other guitars that have an all-solid wood body and a torrified top cost more. I took a chance buying it without having played one because it had a "Free returns for any reason" shipping policy. I had nothing to lose by auditioning it in my own home. Luckily, I love it. When a guitar is the size of a dreadnought yet has the wide lower bout and tighter waist of a jumbo, you get the best of both worlds. The action and intonation are perfect -- barre chords are a breeze, and all the notes are in tune, even at the 20th fret. The die-cast gold tuners are beautiful, as is the abalone ring around the soundhole. Also, it's the most versatile 12-string I've owned; you can play anything on it, not just "Wish You Were Here" or "Wanted Dead or Alive." It sounds fantastic, amazing, spectacular, incredible, and uncanny -- all those corny comic-book adjectives and more!

Great all solid wood guitar with wonderful tone! Mahogany and spruce compliment each other well, I like this combo better than the rosewood LL 16. Beautiful finish, Yamaha deliver great value for your money! Very high standard quality control, buy with confidence!

Beautiful guitar! Sounds and plays exceptionally well! Great price! Love it!
