YAMAHAL-Series LS6 Concert Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Rosewood, Brown Sunburst

I was very worried about ordering this guitar online; let alone on Amazon. It came in a traiangular shaped box that had a semi-soft padded case. I actually like the case for church but this guitar will not be going back in the case. It deserves a hard case. I opened it up and inspected the guitar, came with strings loosely installed. It doesn't have a single flaw. It is perfect, adorned with what looks like abalone inlay, gold tuners, and the action is perfect. It came with a tool to adjust the neck, I just bought a Martin DX 12 string and I totally expected to hae to adjust it. I didn't have to. The wood grain rosewood is just awesome. Thi thing sounds amazing. Best guitar purchase ever. It isn't even close to sound compared to the Martin HPL. This thing makes the Martin sound like a toy guitar. I have a thing for the deep bass resonance with rosewood bodied guitars. I own a Taylor 214CE Rosewood and it used to be the nicest guitar I've ever had until this one. I've always wanted an HD-28 and although I think they are great guitars still, I'm gonna save some money and buy the 6 string version of this. It's a beautiful sounding guitar with sustain for days. Great for strumming and fingerpicking. Oh I also plugged it into my Boes L1 Compact and it sound just as good throught that thing. I absolutely love it!

This LS6 is the perfect size for my hands and style of playing. I tried a Yamaha FSX830C which is basically the same concert body size but this LS6 has a longer scale (neck 9/16" longer) and wider nut (44mm) so it is much easier for me to get my fingers on the frets and to finger pick. It isn't a huge difference but it really changes the playability for the better.The sound from the LS6 (rosewood laminate) is really bright and has a nice sustain. Everything looks well built and even the action didn't come too high. I'll probably get it adjusted after a few months but it is definitely within normal range.I'm super pleased and love the look of the guitar as well! Awesome value from Yamaha guitars and the aged spruce top gives it great a sound. Love it!

My title pretty much sums it up. It's a nicely made guitar, with almost perfect intonation, and excellent playability but that's about as far as it goes. I think the finish is too thick, and the top could benefit greatly from scalloped bracing. Just like my Yamaha fsta, this guitar is pretty to look at, inspiring to hold but sonically dead. I do like the smaller uper bout, but it's an awful heavy guitar. There's not much tone to be heard or talked about. Never even got around to plug it in as I didn't think the tone was worth amplifying. I couldn't find any of these to play locally, so I took a shot in the dark ordering one from Amazon. I don't like returning stuff, but this one doesn't sound good enough for me to keep. It's a nice guitar for a beginner, and will surely hold up well to some abuse but that's about it. You can get better tonewoods and specs all around for a similar price. I own a Yamaha 172sf classical guitar that really sings but perhaps that one's an anomaly. Overall this one gets a solid, "meh." Here's hoping I get my money back.

I thought I'd take a gamble on this 'cheap' Yamaha 12-String Guitar. I knew that the Solid Rosewood Sides & Back might - just m I g h t . . . - provide the Voicing of a guitar at triple the price; But when I unpacked, and tuned the 12-string Yamaha, I was Astounded!. YES! I had to perform only a minor adjustment to the neck ( Allen wrench is provided ), and fine-tune the new strings; and this Guitar displayed rare and amazing Active Harmonics and sub-Harmonics. In my 55 years as a professional guitarist, I'd rarely come across acoustic guitars that provided such a beautiful range of Sound. I own Martin, Collings, and Lowden guitars; this Yamaha LL 1612 is on this same level of both Playability, and Voicing/Sound.

Construction:The LL6M has a solid Engelmann spruce top, which gives it a bright and clear sound. The back and sides are made of mahogany, which adds warmth and depth to the tone. The guitar also features a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, which provide excellent sustain and resonance.Playability:One of the standout features of the LL6M is its playability. The C-shaped neck is comfortable to hold and play, even for extended periods of time. The guitar also has a low action, which makes it easy to play without sacrificing tone or volume.Summary:Overall, the Yamaha LL6M is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality acoustic guitar that is both easy to play and has a warm, rich sound. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, the LL6M is sure to impress. Its combination of excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail make it one of the best guitars in its price range.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a dreadnought-style acoustic guitar that is easy to play and has a warm, rich sound, the Yamaha LL6M is an excellent choice.

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.
