Yamaha LS16MARE Acoustic Folk Guitar | Premium All-Mahogany Tone

The Yamaha LS16MARE Acoustic Folk Guitar is designed for players who value warmth, clarity, and refined craftsmanship. Featuring an all-mahogany body with Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, this guitar delivers a vintage-inspired tone with remarkable balance. Its small-bodied folk design ensures comfort and articulation, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters.

What is A.R.E. Treatment?

Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is a proprietary wood-aging process that simulates decades of natural aging. By carefully adjusting temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, Yamaha enhances the wood’s tonal properties, resulting in improved resonance, sustain, and warmth. This process gives the LS16MARE the sound of a well-played vintage guitar from the moment you pick it up.
