Stellar tonewood pairing





The tonewood combination of rosewood and spruce has won over countless players who have fallen in love with the incredible blending of the rich low end from rosewood and the high and midrange clarity from spruce. The resulting tone is truly something that has to be experienced, and the LS36 ARE lets you do just that. Wide-open strumming, picking, and fingerstyle playing all translate beautifully through this tonewood pairing. And the 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck and ebony fingerboard offer the kind of feel and response that make hours of playing and exploring seem effortless.





Innovative construction to build a better guitar





The great tone and smooth playability of the LS36 ARE are due to Yamaha's never-ending search for perfection. The recently developed A.R.E. process gives your guitar a broken-in and aged tone. By controlling the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity, the molecular properties of the wood are manipulated to mirror those of a guitar that has been played for years. Each L series guitar also sports modified non-scalloped bracing that enhances the guitar's low end. And after re-evaluation of string height and spacing, the 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck has a new design for improved playability. The Yamaha LS36 ARE acoustic guitar utilizes newly developed advances in guitar construction to bring you an amazingly playable and great-sounding instrument.
