The Yamaha LS16 stands at the cutting edge of Yamaha guitar technology and design. The hand selected solid Engelmann Spruce top is treated with Yamaha's new Acoustic Resonance Enhancement technology. Together with a modified bracing design and solid Rosewood back and sides, the natural acoustic sound is even more powerful whilst still maintaining excellent balance. The LS16 is also equipped wth the Zero-Impact Pickup system to be ready for performance or recording at anytime without sacrificing its traditional look or full acoustic resonance.
