The L Series offers the perfect combination of traditional and modern: warm, balanced tone that fits perfectly into a solo performance or mix; timeless good looks inspired 50 years of guitar crafting; instant played-in comfort; and stage-ready performance with the Yamaha Zero Impact pickup system.
A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) 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.
A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L Series’ characteristic bright tone while enhancing low-end tone.
A re-evaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding and the neck taper led to a distinct neck shape that better suits today’s traditional players, offering stable grip and smooth playability over the full length of the neck.
The 5-ply neck of mahogany and rosewood designed with a volute at the headstock plus a double-action, adjustable rod creates a neck with excellent strength and stability.
The SRT Zero Impact pickup system is a passive pickup configuration designed to minimize the pickup’s impact on the tone and traditional appearance of the instrument. The system utilizes individual, piezo-electric elements for each string to faithfully reproduce the dynamic sound of the L Series and give the instrument outstanding presence when playing in a band.
