Yamaha Acoustic Guitar
I’m not sure how it happened but recently I got a liking to Yamaha acoustic guitars. Can’t remember what triggered this matter. I found out that Yamaha’s L series guitars though mostly made in China these days are really handcrafted. The only ones still made in Japan are the LL26 and 36 models. However the Yamaha sales person told it’s about $4900-$5500 respectively. What caught my eye is the design which is still the kind that I fancies after all these years.
Just like Ovation guitars, there are some things that cannot be taken from Yamaha. They are exquisite in design not overbearing with extra frills. Just about right is what I’d say.
The lower end would be the LL6-16. Yet the LJ16/LS16 would about $1348 from Plaza Singapura. Assuming a member’s discount, it’d still amount to $1200. Perhaps I would make time to visit the store and try it to have an idea of the sound quality.
If I do get it I will likely just let it stay in my study. It will be for personal enjoyment.
