Yamaha Review: LL16

History:

Purchase: I bought this guitar in germany for 599 euros.It is made in taiwan and is handcrafted (written on leather).The quality of the woods is incredible. solid engelman spruce top,solid east indian rosewood back and sides,ebony fretboard and bridge,gold plated locking tuners (stays in tune forever),a very good bag.I think that the combination of the woods,is the best it can be,exept brazilian rosewood for back and sides.The sound is brilliant and ballanced perfectly.Great sustain,lots overtones,and very loud.

What I Like About This Yamaha LL16: The sound is what i like the most.It is the best guitar i ever played (playing for 30 years).It simply sounds like a pro guitar should.Can't believe that they make this for 599 euros.

What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha LL16: There's nothing to dislike.

Yamaha LL16 Quality Rating: Everything is perfectly matched.The neck is 3ply mahogany-rosewood-mahogany.The quality is first class as the materials.

Review Summary: If you are out for a guitar in the pricerange of 600euros don't look any further.At any pricerange?Just give a shot.Maybe i was lucky but the sound is outstanding.The best I played or heard and I played and heard many good guitars like martins,taylors,takamines,ovations.

Rating of this Yamaha product: 5
