«  Very good guitar! »

Published on 01/28/14 at 04:22
Purchased in late 2005, is largely hand in Taiwan, according to the specs of Yamaha Corp.: great guitar aging well, and that price is Top!

UTILIZATION

The tuners are OK, very good finish, with just the varnish too fine hair, and not super polished frets on the edges of the handle: it's easy lime if necessary ..
Intonation, string height = nickel, no buzz, even with a capo!
The handle is very easy to play fluid and effortless.

SOUNDS

The sound is very balanced, natural bass, clear highs well: it sounds. (Personally, I prefer the sound of his dear elder + LL26)
The finger picking, arpeggios are almost divine!
Good solid wood box is sending, and struming is very correct.

Note: I would have put € 80 more for the bridge saddles Head + in OS, for even a hair + harmonics!

OVERALL OPINION

At the time (2005), I was willing to put up to € 2,500 to "replace" my proper guitar 3250FF 1990 (500 €). So I could try some well known brands including American M. 1500 € which was far behind ... also 2 Canadian T. (ÉlectroAc, funky sleeves) but not less bass and more harmonics at 2300 €, and another model with low ditto, but harmonics Top level .. 3400 €!
Pretty discouraged .. but ultimately a seller offered me this LL16 ... THANKS: I fell for this guitar before you know the price, I'm super excited live away with it!
(I "electrified" later with 2 sensors Piezo + 1 Electret MIC)
