Review: Great guitar, great quality, great price! - Great all solid wood guitar with wonderful tone! Mahogany and spruce compliment each other well, I like this combo better than the rosewood LL 16. Beautiful finish, Yamaha deliver great value for your money! Very high standard quality control, buy with confidence!
Review: A guitar that proves perfection is possible - This is for the Yamaha L-Series LL16 12-string acoustic, which has a solid Engelmann spruce top with solid rosewood back & sides. I've been playing for 30 years. I've bought and sold countless guitars just for myself -- both six and twelve-string. This Yamaha is the best guitar I've owned; I'll never get rid of it. If a giant asteroid ever takes aim at Earth, this guitar is the only thing I'll grab before escaping to another planet. Although it's the most expensive instrument I've bought yet, other guitars that have an all-solid wood body and a torrified top cost more. I took a chance buying it without having played one because it had a "Free returns for any reason" shipping policy. I had nothing to lose by auditioning it in my own home. Luckily, I love it. When a guitar is the size of a dreadnought yet has the wide lower bout and tighter waist of a jumbo, you get the best of both worlds. The action and intonation are perfect -- barre chords are a breeze, and all the notes are in tune, even at the 20th fret. The die-cast gold tuners are beautiful, as is the abalone ring around the soundhole. Also, it's the most versatile 12-string I've owned; you can play anything on it, not just "Wish You Were Here" or "Wanted Dead or Alive." It sounds fantastic, amazing, spectacular, incredible, and uncanny -- all those corny comic-book adjectives and more!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are some designated as solid rosewood and other not?**
A: Those that are solid rosewood have solid rosewood sides and backs.  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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha LL16 12 String = Brilliance + Sustain for Days
*by S***. on October 25, 2020*

I was very worried about ordering this guitar online; let alone on Amazon. It came in a traiangular shaped box that had a semi-soft padded case. I actually like the case for church but this guitar will not be going back in the case. It deserves a hard case. I opened it up and inspected the guitar, came with strings loosely installed. It doesn't have a single flaw. It is perfect, adorned with what looks like abalone inlay, gold tuners, and the action is perfect. It came with a tool to adjust the neck, I just bought a Martin DX 12 string and I totally expected to hae to adjust it. I didn't have to. The wood grain rosewood is just awesome. Thi thing sounds amazing. Best guitar purchase ever. It isn't even close to sound compared to the Martin HPL. This thing makes the Martin sound like a toy guitar. I have a thing for the deep bass resonance with rosewood bodied guitars. I own a Taylor 214CE Rosewood and it used to be the nicest guitar I've ever had until this one. I've always wanted an HD-28 and although I think they are great guitars still, I'm gonna save some money and buy the 6 string version of this. It's a beautiful sounding guitar with sustain for days. Great for strumming and fingerpicking. Oh I also plugged it into my Boes L1 Compact and it sound just as good throught that thing. I absolutely love it!
