Vintage 1970s to Early 1980s

Yamaha LL-35 Luxury Series Jumbo Acoustic Guitar

Signed Label

With L.R. Baggs Pickup, Case & Items Pictured

For sale is a beautiful late 1970s to early 1980s Yamaha LL-35 Acoustic Guitar, one of the flagship models from Yamaha's highly respected Luxury Series. These guitars were built to compete with the finest American acoustics of the era and have developed a loyal following among players and collectors for their exceptional craftsmanship, powerful voice, and outstanding playability.

This example remains in very good vintage condition and has clearly been played and enjoyed over the years while being well cared for. The guitar is structurally sound with no crack repairs, no known structural issues, and no evidence of abuse. It features a signed interior label, attractive three-piece rosewood back construction, and an L.R. Baggs pickup system for amplified performance.

The top displays honest playwear consistent with a well-maintained vintage acoustic, including minor scratches, marks, dings, and a few professionally touched-up finish scratches. Nothing stands out as significant, and the guitar presents beautifully overall. The rosewood back and sides remain particularly attractive and show the premium materials Yamaha reserved for its upper-tier instruments.

The neck is straight, the truss rod functions properly, and the guitar plays beautifully over the entire fingerboard. Current string height is a hair under 3/32" at the body, providing comfortable playability while still retaining room for future adjustment. Fret wear is as pictured. Please review all photos carefully as they are an important part of the description.

An L.R. Baggs pickup system has been professionally installed, making this an excellent choice for both stage and studio use.
