Natural Yamaha LS16 ARE with small body. Great for finger picking.
This L Series model has received some pretty good feedback on-line. Many guitarists posting on web forums, particularly the acousticguitarforum.com give it a rave review. It is not surprising. It offers great value for money. A particularly high specification for the price. This steel string guitar has a long list of excellent features. A.R.E. Technology is designed to get the very best out of the wood of this guitar. The Yamaha LS16 ARE certainly has tone in abundance! The solid spruce and solid rosewood back and sides work in perfect harmony. It has a very clear and precise tone that sounds like it has been played for years. This is also helped by a special bracing design. Another important feature of the Yamaha LS16 is the string spacing. The whole strings spacing, height and binding have been taken in to consideration. A specially designed neck shape is seriously comfortable. It feels consistent play-ability wise all the way up the fretboard.
Great Review, excellent value and brilliant price.
As well as all these top features Yamaha have included a padded case. It offers much better protection than a gig bag and easier and lighter to carry than a case. One last thing. The guitar also comes with an SRT pickup. It means when you need to plug it in, you can. The Yamaha LS16 ARE in Natural is excellent value for money. A lot of steel string acoustic guitar for the price.
