Yamaha LS16 ARE Solid Engelmann / Rosewood Concert Acoustic w/ Pickup

The Yamaha LS16 ARE is a premium concert-sized acoustic-electric guitar that delivers rich, well-balanced tone and outstanding playability. Featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top with Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment, it offers an aged, open sound straight out of the box. The solid rosewood back and sides add warmth and depth, while the modified non-scalloped bracing enhances projection. A comfortable 5-ply mahogany and rosewood neck ensures smooth playability, making it ideal for fingerstyle players. Equipped with Yamaha’s SRT Zero Impact passive pickup system, the LS16 ARE delivers a natural, dynamic amplified tone while maintaining a clean aesthetic. Includes a hard bag for protection.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Yamaha LS16 ARE is the perfect choice for discerning guitarists who want classic tone, premium materials, and effortless playability in a concert-sized body.
