What is A.R.E. Treatment?

Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is a proprietary wood-aging process that simulates the natural maturation of wood. By carefully controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, Yamaha enhances the tonal qualities of the guitar, improving **resonance, stability, and warmth**. This process gives the LL16ARE a **vintage, well-played character** right out of the box, making it sound like a seasoned instrument.
