If you have ever owned a Yamaha Guitar or Bass you know that they are great value for money and offer incredible quality at every price point. This is no different on the LS6 ARE acoustic. With rossewood back and sides topped off with a lovely piece of solid engelmann spruce this guitar is a small bodied acoustic but Yamaha have done a few cool things to make it sound better than ever before. A.R.E. Treatment On The Top While the woods used alone are enough to justify this guitars position as a great value instrument. Yamaha have treated the top with their Acoustic Resonance Enhancement that previously was only available on their higher end Japanese made instruments. This treatment artificially ages the wood through precisely controlling temperature, humidity and pressure during the manufacturing process. Older acoustic have a certain played in sound that will only come with time but this treatment gets it pretty much spot on right out of the box. This means you don't need to worry about aging it yourself and waiting 3 years to take it on the road as it is now ready straight away. Simple Hardware You may be looking at this guitar and wondering why we called it an electro acoustic when it doesn't have a preamp. That is because instead of focusing on adding in active hardware this acoustic has an entirely passive pickup system. This does mean that you need to plug this guitar into a DI or acoustic preamp to get the most out of it but it does give you a crisper clearer sound with great low end response. New Comfortable Neck No matter if you are a traditional folk style guitarist or prefer a more modern feel the LS6 ARE will feel great in your hands. Although the new neck is rounder and with a slimmer taper this guitar still has a traditional acoustic feel that suits itself best to finger pickers that like to dive into other forms of playing every so often. Speaking of the neck it now also has a 5 ply mahoggany and rossewood design. This makes the neck a lot stronger and more stable so it won't twist or warp.
