The LL6 A.R.E. offers many of Yamaha's exclusive features. The solid Engelmann spruce top is treated with A.R.E., and together with a modified bracing design, the sound has become more powerful and loud while still maintaining excellent balance. To fit to comtemporary player's needs, the LL6 A.R.E. is equipped wth a Zero-Impact Pickup, ready for performance or recording at anytime without sacrificing its traditional look or full acoustic resonance.A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)
A.R.E. is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years.Newly Designed Bracing Pattern
A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L Series' characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone.High Comfortable Traditional Neck Profile
A reevaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper led to a new neck shape that better fits today's raditional players. The new design offers stable grip and smooth playability over the full length of the neck.5-Ply Necks
New 5-ply neck designs are constructed of rosewood and mah plies. The design integrates the neck, head, and body into a single unit creating a powerful, rich sound. This approach also creates a strong, stable neck that resists twisting and warping.LL Body
This traditional Yamaha body style is known for its rich volume, a wide dynamic range, and excellent tonal balance. Beautiful, transparent tone is the result of a design that has been refined by artists around the globe.WHO WE ARE American Music has been a locally owned and operated business in Seattle since 1973!! WHERE WE ARE 4450 Fremont Ave NSeattle, WA 98103206-633-1774 phone206-633-1419 fax1-877-813-7390 toll free BUSINESS HOURS Saturday 10AM to 6PM PSTSunday 11AM to 6PM PST   We will not accept returns on software.Items must be returned with a return authorization within 14 days with it’s original content and condition.   Any returns will have a 10% restocking fee.Refund will be given as Paypal credit.Return shipping will be paid and handled by the buyer. ________________________________________________________________________PAYMENT AND SHIPMENT We accept Paypal.We only ship to addresses verified by Paypal.If your “ship to” address is different from your “bill to” address and it is verified through Paypal then we will ship to that address.Otherwise, we will only ship to the billing address.We only ship via UPS unless other arrangements have been made prior to purchase.  90% of orders ship the FOLLOWING business day after you pay.  If you pay on Friday, it ships on Monday.  All items are in stock at the time of the post.  In the unlikely event an item is oversold, we will be glad to work with you to find an amicable resolution.  Larger items can take longer to ship out Items ListedAmerican Music is a physical store in Seattle Washington.
