Full Description
View Full DescriptionSmall type body
The Yamaha LS56 Custom ARE Acoustic Guitar features a small type body that is perfect for players who prefer a more compact and comfortable instrument. The smaller size provides a more intimate playing experience without sacrificing sound quality. You'll appreciate the ease of mobility that comes with a smaller guitar, which makes it suitable for gigs and musical sessions. Whether it's onstage or in the studio, the small type body enhances your ability to play with agility, accuracy, and speed.
Solid Engelmann spruce top treated with A.R.E.
The use of solid Engelmann spruce top treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology is a standout feature in this guitar. The A.R.E. technology subtly improves the tonal balance and projection of the guitar, providing an unparalleled sound quality that's hard to find in other guitars. The Yamaha LS56 Custom ARE Acoustic Guitar delivers rich and warm acoustic resonance with highly pronounced mid-range and crisp high-end tones. This is the result of the top's responsiveness to the guitar player's touch, whether you're fingerpicking or strumming.
Solid Indian rosewood back & sides
Another unique feature of the Yamaha LS56 Custom ARE Acoustic Guitar is its back and side made of solid Indian rosewood. Indian rosewood is favoured among luthiers for its tonal qualities. It provides a mellow bottom end and a rich, complex mid-range that complements the top's bright tones. The combination of the solid Engelmann spruce top and Indian rosewood back and side results in a harmonically rich sound that's balanced across the tonal spectrum.
High comfort traditional neck profile
The neck profile of the Yamaha LS56 Custom ARE Acoustic Guitar is designed with player comfort in mind. The high comfort traditional neck profile is carved to fit the natural curvature of your hand and fingers, making it easy to play and manoeuvre across the fretboard. The neck profile provides ample space between the strings and the fretboard, reducing hand fatigue and allowing for extended playing sessions. The deluxe five-ply neck with volute adds to the guitar's structural integrity, increasing its sustain and stability.
