I love to sing. I picked up the guitar fifty years ago to accompany myself and never get tired of uncovering its mysteries. This is my first twelve string and I love it. I haven't owned several dozen high end guitars. I've owned a few. I'm very selective and careful in choosing what I like and then I stick with it; sometimes for decades. My first guitar was a Yamaha FG-150 and I've always been sorry I didn't hang onto it. Reading and digesting reviews coupled with a good dose of nostalgia guided me to this one. I had some reservations about twelve strings in general regarding tuning and keeping it in tune. Nothing to it. This guitar is remarkable in its ability to stay in tune.

It is truly quite easy to play and sounds fantastic and full. I have short muscular farmer fingers and find this guitar quite easy to play. I attribute this to the shape of the neck which I find quite comfortable. Fit and finish is beautiful and I particularly love the wood binding. It looks great in a less is more fashion and I couldn't be happier. In the month or so I've had it this guitar has been in daily use without an issue. At this price this guitar is a tremendous value and I have no problem in recommending you get yourself one if you can. Enjoy yourselves and don't forget to practice.

I'm a Martin man but not taking 3 grand out by the fire. My Sweetwater rep (Mitch Frazier) suggested this LL16M. Best advice ever! Love this guitar and it's priced to use in the real world. Thanks again Mitch (for the millionth time)

I have only had this guitar about three hours, but after my twenty plus years of playing, I can sniff out defects in guitars pretty quickly. I have been eyeing this model for awhile, and I am glad I waited because the upgrades they have added to the new model (entry level electronics + better bridge and bracing design) make it irresistible. This guitar plainly sounds amazing. I have been strumming and picking some Old Crow, Lefty Frizzel, Robert Johnson, Garth Brooks, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, some my own acoustic arrangements of Social Distortion...it handles EVERYTHING. That is a diverse crop of stuff! It is definitely worth it to go with the rosewood. I played this one side by side with the mahogany model and there is no ...

The other sounds good for strumming around, but the rosewood makes it so much more universal. This thing is professional quality and I can already tell it is going to help me get better. I am actually glad that I didn't pay for a label. There is no point in paying the same money for a Martin made of junk. And everybody has D shaped guitars. This one stands out in its design and can hit all the marks of a D in any case. This is the start of a beautiful relationship.

I've had this guitar for about a month now, and the only bad news is when I received the guitar the plastic saddle was at an angle and did not fit tight into the notch of the bridge. This is a big deal of course so I took it to a luthier and had a bone saddle made and installed. He also did some minor fretwork too. I think this is the compromise that you're going to pay for in the QC of these guitars made in China. Otherwise this is a fantastic guitar with solid rosewood back, sides and a solid spruce top . It also has a wonderful, semi chunky c shaped neck with two pieces of rosewood (?) for added stability and wider fretboard that's great for finger picking. Nice binding on the neck so you can't feel the edge of the frets at all. It sounds great too, and has ...

Nice binding on the neck so you can't feel the edge of the frets at all. It sounds great too, and has inspired me to play more every day. Yamaha has been doing this for about 40 years and after looking at and playing the Taylor's and Martin's, you can't touch one of this quality for twice the cost. Also it's not a Taylor or Martin "wanna be", it has its own distinctive sonic character and except for the flaw with the saddle I would recommend this to anybody. You would just have to send it back and get another one that suited you, and that's exactly what I would've done if I didn't have a luthier close by.
I have been getting into Yamaha guitars lately after purchasing an A-series on MF and being very impressed with it. I read that this guitar is no longer in production and have read great reviews about it, so I talked my wife into letting me get one. I will have to part with my trusty Alvarez, but this guitar is worth the sacrifice.The sound of this guitar is incredible. Mine was set up well from the start. The only comparable guitar I have played is the Martin MMV, which a friend of mine recently purchased. Even so, this Yamaha offers finer touches and still sells for much less (God bless our global economy!). The top is Englemann spruce, which grows in North America. The sides and back are solid rosewood (amazing). Together they make a great combination. I enjoy ...

The sides and back are solid rosewood (amazing). Together they make a great combination. I enjoy the gold hardware and off-white binding on the neck, it gives it a classic vintage look.Bone nut and saddle would be nice instead of the plastic. I don't know how big a difference it makes, but for the price I paid for the guitar I could probably afford the upgrade. I haven't plugged mine in yet and haven't pushed it hard. I just appreciate strumming it and hearing it ring out. Finger picking comes across really well with it too.If you have never owned an all-solid wood guitar like I had not, I highly recommend giving this one a try. The sound of this Yamaha is terrific and I expect it will only improve with age.If money were no concern, I would also snatch up the dark tinted and/or sunburst version. There is a deluxe version out there too. I am happy with this guitar. It's no Martin or Taylor...just YAMAHA for me
