Yamaha LL16 Original Jumbo Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Jumbo Body with Rich Acoustic Power

The LL16HB features Yamaha’s iconic jumbo body shape, known for delivering strong projection and full low-end resonance. Built into the flagship L Series, it combines a solid Engelmann spruce top with thick rosewood back and sides, creating a well-balanced, powerful tonal palette that suits both stage and studio environments.

A.R.E. Treatment & Precision Engineering

The top is treated with Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology, simulating aged tonewoods for enhanced warmth, depth, and open response. The bracing pattern complements this treatment, ensuring tight low frequencies and clear, refined highs—perfect for fingerstyle and robust chord strumming alike.

Performer-Friendly Neck & Electronics

Crafted for comfort and stability, the LL16HB’s 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck features a traditional high-comfort profile and a 25?9/16? scale length. The passive SRT zero-impact pickup system delivers natural, battery-free amplification—ideal for live settings—while sealed gold-plated tuners provide precise tuning stability in all conditions.

Rugged, Stage-Ready Design

Built to withstand the rigors of touring, the LL16HB includes a protective hard gig bag and die-cast gold tuners. Its solid wood construction, hide-glue neck joint, and ebony fingerboard signal exceptional build quality and playability. For players seeking bold acoustic tone, stage-ready features, and Yamaha’s legendary craftsmanship, the LL16HB is a compelling choice.
