Guitar "handcrafted" in Taiwan, 20 frets, cutaway.
The table is solid spruce, the sides and back with rosewood handle 3 parts mahogany / rosewood, the fingerboard and the bridge of ebony.
The electronics consists of a piezo and a gooseneck microphone, all managed by a Yamaha preamp on which there is a level control gooseneck microphone, a 3 band eq with parametric mids (from 80 hz to 10 khz!) a master volume and a phase inverter for the gooseneck.
Body Depth: 100-125 mm
Nut width: 44 mm
Scale: 650 mm
A binding surrounds the body the neck and head.
From the Series 16 the L series guitars are all solid.
UTILIZATION
For me coming from electrical adaptation is done fairly well, not too big handle and comfortable, low action, then it's still a bit sore left hand.
Access to the cargo is 16th after san problem must feint a bit, but as said in the previous opinion is not there it sounds the best.
the guitar is balanced, the grip of the Jumbo shape is very nice (I'm a small frame and I was thinking of taking the Dreadnought model, after testing I did not hesitate one second, I feel 100 times the home on a jumbo!)
The tuners are very gentle and take very good agreement, and little more LOJN from negligible, mine came with a rigid box yammaha specially adapted to this form!
SOUNDS
This guitar has a very soft, very cozy, it's not a sound bite and takamine metal genre, then we're really in the sweetness.
The sound is fairly balanced, plenty of bass thanks to jumbo, and elel projects the sound really good (the better to hear someone play for noticing)
It may be a lack of brilliance chouilla but nothing serious.
I tried to compare a LL16, the sound is a little more balanced, but unfortunately no equivalent model in electro (going to 26 models, and the price ouch).
Once connected (via behringer preamp, guitar rig2 and monitor loudspeakers Prodipe home) we find the character of the guitar: very soft, cozy, by boosting the treble on the eq is recovered shine but never aggressive.
Corrections of eq are not drastic but sufficient and always musical, its only flaw is the too wide range of mediums (80hz to 10Khz) semi-parametric, it's hard to really diféfrencier fréquenes mediums and it really encroaches on the flower beds and acute severe corrections in short it is redundant.
Playing on the balance of the piezo and gooseneck is reached busted characters a little different, I mean a little: more dry and precise with piezo further and serious with the gooseneck.
Feedback attention to the micro (for this Yamaha provides a cache rosette, and yes it is neat!).
The phase inverter in addition to avoiding feedback when producing a small difference in sound reproduction, to exploit.
OVERALL OPINION
I have for nearly four months, this guitar is really nice: understated and very classy finish, it was a really nice tool in the hands, we ent at the outset that Yamaha has treated the details, rendered in a case rigid spécialemnt adapted to the guitar, with the key for the truss rod cover and escutcheon for the feedback.
You must love his very mild, if you want a guitar with a bite with many mediums, go your way.
I matured my choice before choosing this guitar, I thought at first but I take the LL16 model much at home and I like this practical side of the preamp, the more I will surely use it as a group.
I had the chance to try a bunch of models (LL 16 LJ6 LJX6C, a "small" martin, takamine ...) because I took my time, I made several mags and one in which I 'I bought was a package of model in stock and a nice seller who gave me the time to try many models.
The LL16 sounds nicer but without preamp, the other is a sguitares Auter character and it is more expensive.
The value for money is very good (just over 700 euros in a French mag).
I wanted a good acoustic instrument to start and I can say that I found what I sought.
The only regret I wish I had the equivalent of LJ16 by electro but electro smodèles Series L to spend LX6 LX26 ... not the same price.
