(More customer reviews)These Chinese made beauties truly uphold the Yamaha tradition of tone and build quality and for under $600. This is the tried and true recipe of Englemen spruce over rosewood back and sides with a perfectly rendered mahogany neck. These guitars (according to the dealer) undergo the Yamaha "Acoustic Equilibrium Process". The sound is deep and full with a great ringing top end and chords in all positions intonate wonderfully. In open tunings the resonance and tone colors just expand even more. I installed a K&K Pure Western Mini undersaddle transducer so i could plug in ,and again ,i can't say enough about how satisfying the tone and feel is. Equally rewarding either strummed or played fingerstyle, this guitar has what I would rate as an above average amount of natural dynamic volume range and doesn't get overly compressed when pushed hard.Intonation also remains consistent with capoing. The bottom line here is that for the price, this is an exceptional instrument. My how times have changed........

With a solid Engelmann spruce top, multilayered mahogany/rosewood reinforced neck, and ebony fretboard, the Yamaha LL6 acoustic guitar can be judged an excellent deal on materials alone. Yet where this dreadnought really shines is on the strength of its handcrafted construction by expert Japanese luthiers. Every step in the creation of this excellent musical instrument, from tonewood selection to hand-sanding the frets, is done in a small factory by master craftsmen.Body topMost manufacturers are using Sitka spruce tops for their high end models. In Yamaha's experience, Engelmann spruce from Canada naturally suits the role for top woods better than any other. The overriding quality for body top material is an allowance for resonance and Engelmann spruce has this attribute in abundance. It is a light wood that is easy to work and enables a good tone response with a wide harmonic range. Visually Engelmann spruce is comfortable on the eye and its opaque light yellow tint is reminiscent of a mature acoustic instrument. Back & sideYamaha uses rosewood for both the back and sides on all the L series models. The rosewood blends extremely well with the Engelmann spruce top. It disperses resonance evenly and effortlessly.Neck blockThe neck block reinforces the neck joint. Yamaha has improved the conventional C block design by enlarging the surface area that is in contact with the top of the guitar. The block securely meets the underside of the top adding a real depth to the tone of the instrument.BracingX-bracing maps out the vibration patterns of the guitar. Each of the eight braces has been carefully positioned in order to bring out the tone in a balanced fashion and find a natural harmony with the guitar's tone woods.Multilayered reinforced neckTraditionally, an acoustic guitar neck is carved from a single timber block. As the grain of the timber has to be angled at about 14 degrees to accommodate the headstock, it leaves itself vulnerable to excessive stress. To alleviat
