Yamaha L-Series LL6 Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Rosewood, Brown Sunburst

This is the best guitar that can be bought at this price range, period. Consider this, this guitar has the same top (THE most important piece of wood on any guitar, it's the sound board) as Yamaha's LL36 - a $4000 guitar. A. R. E. Stand for acoustic resonance enhancement and this under $700 guitar has it. Laminated sides and back compared to solid wood does not make that big a difference. Think about it - laminated rosewood is every bit as hard as solid and hardness counts. If sound is what you're looking for this guitar is it.

Excellent sounding acoustic guitar. Well balanced tone. Great sustain. The setup was great out of the box.

At the Amazon price, this is an amazing guitar. Their quality is ALWAYS spot on. The banding and MOP are a nice touch on a guitar in this price range. Tone is well rounded. Warm but not boomy or muddy. Highs are clean but not ultra bright. Action right out of the box is pretty nice. I like lighter strings and a pretty low/fast action and I 'might' tweak it a little when I swap strings, but honestly, it's so good I might just leave it alone. The bridge pins are plastic, as you'd expect. I might upgrade to ebony or bone, mostly for cosmetics. I doubt that they will make much tonal difference. Bridge and nut 'seem' to be plastic but I'll have to check the specs. Will swap those out for bone if they are. Finish is a little heavy, as was the norm in the past. Seems the trend is toward lighter finishes, but I prefer the traditional gloss finish. Just personal preference. Overall just a really nice quality guitar. it's no $2000 Martin, but I'd wager that only a few people could tell the difference without seeing it. Overall just great solid Yamaha quality.

I just opened packaging an hour ago an tune up the guitar. Very good quality workmanship. Sounds very full and and the notes sustain a long time.It plays well and sounds as well as many higher price brands. No regrets on this purchase.

This guitar looks and sounds great. You can stand onstage beside hummingbirds and J45’s and not feel out of place. The only disappointment was realizing it didn’t have a front strap button 20 minutes before I left for a gig, but I remedied that with a drill and a button from a Les Paul.
