Review: Yamaha LS16 solid rosewood body with ARE Engleman spruce top is amazing! - This LS16 guitar is incredible. Absolutely amazing workmanship, flawless, and I’m picky. The LS size has fantastic tonal balance with beautiful sound and incredibly long sustain from E to . Wow so nice I didn’t want to travel with it and bought a FG850 mahogany as backup. Yamaha is totally rocking their customers with incredible instruments. I first heard and played full sized top of the line Yamaha in 1973. It was amazing, but these 2 guitars are far better. Both have the action set up higher than what a great luthier recommends, but I quickly realized the no buzz reasoning. Both incredible instruments that will be carefully taken care of and played frequently . Thank you Yamaha and The Music Zoo! Review: It rings like a crystal bell .. so clear and with 9 second sustain (per my wristwatch timing) - IU really like the Engleman Spruce. The guitar I received has a Curly Spruce top (like curly maple) and literally shimmers in the light. The strings were set a tad high .. so I lowered them with 1/2 turn of the truss rod and bingo! that got them right where I wanted the action to be. Can't beat the price with the 5% Prime member reward and the 10% Promo discount. Keep in mind the top is solid as are the Rosewood sides and bottom. The passive pickup is not even noticeable and I am glad of that because I do not play with amplification. Oh … I do not play well at all .. but with this guitar .. I look good … :-) ## Features - A newly designed bracing pattern and a.R.E.

Those that are simply labeled "rosewood" are laminated backs and sides. Solid woods have better and louder sounds and improve more readily with age. Of course, solid wood is more expensive. Hope this helps. **Q: Besides this l-series having a slightly wider neck (and string spacing), how does it compare to the yamaha f-series (e.g., fsx830c)?** A: The neck is chunkier than the FS lineup. **Q: Is this a dreadnought or a jumbo? Here it says dreadnought, elsewhere on the internet it says jumbo. Thank you.** A: More of an OM size guitar shaped a little bit like a mini jumbo. Have a 10 year old rosewood model. Replace the saddle and bridge pins with bone and you'll be amazed by the sound. Never selling mine. I think the LS6 actually sounds better than the more expensive solid wood LS16. Given a choice between the two I'd go for the LS6, costs less sounds better. And because the back and sides of the LS6 are made of plywood (still very expensive, rosewood plywood is not cheap) it's actually a very strong guitar build wise. **Q: does it come with a hard case?** A: Not sure on this one. My solid wood LS16 model comes with a hard case. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha LS16 solid rosewood body with ARE Engleman spruce top is amazing! *by F***Y on March 8, 2024* This LS16 guitar is incredible.

The quality and sound are drastically better. Was debating between a couple different models and ultimately went with the solid rosewood. So glad I pulled the trigger on this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha L-Series LS16 Concert Size Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Gig Bag - Natural - Amazon Basics Adjustable Guitar Folding A-Shape Frame Stand for Acoustic and Electric Guitars with Non-Slip Rubber and Soft Foam Arms, Fully Assembled, Black - Fender Premium Picks Sampler - 12 Pack Includes Thin, Medium & Heavy Gauges (Austin Bazaar Exclusive) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/62116800-l-series-ls16-concert-size-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-gig](https://www.desertcart.us/products/62116800-l-series-ls16-concert-size-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-gig) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
