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

*by T***L on 6 September 2023*

When I got this I did an A/B comparison with my other guitar, a Yamaha A5R ARE. The A5R is a fine sounding instrument, and every musician I know who has tried it ranks it very high - much higher than its price would lead one to believe. The LS16 did not sound as good. The difference was quite noticeable, but unlike the LS16, the A5R came with Graph Tech nut and saddle. I swapped out the urea nut, saddle and plastic pins on the LS16 and replaced them with a bone nut (Graph Tech does not make a pre-slotted nut that fits) and with Graph Tech saddle and pins. What a transformation! The LS16 is a smaller body than the A5R, but with the upgraded parts it sounds almost as good. Full, rich, melodic, and with amazing sustain. Now, musicians who come to visit me try both guitars and have to switch back and forth a few times to say which one they like better. Get an LS16 and replace the plastic parts with bone or Graph Tech, and I'm sure you'll find it to be a very good sounding guitar for the price. The LS16 comes with a soft case. It may not be as protective as a hard case, but I'm not so sure about that. I much prefer the soft case for everyday use. But I would hesitate about shipping the guitar in the soft case.
