Yamaha LL 16 D A.R.E NT

I've been learning to play the guitar for over fifty years and can proudly announce that I know more chords that Status Quo!! I was 13 when I was presented with an early 1960’s Fender Telecaster owned by my brother-in-law. I had joined a ‘professional’ country and western group as lead guitarist. I was forced to sell it to pay for an engagement ring some 5 years later and quit the band. I have only regretted it every single day since and swore I would never be such an idiot again….I have been. However on my walls hang some nice guitars…including Ovations, Fenders, Musicmans etc dating back to the days when I had hair. I still have Roland JC-120’s, Fender Twin Reverbs and so on in my study which have never been turned on during the past 40 years outside of being serviced….and then I saw the reviews on the Yamaha LL16D. Nowadays I only ever play my acoustic balladeer but I do so every day until….I spent a long time trying to convince myself not to buy the Yamaha LL16D and then I bought it. I have some valuable acoustic guitars and the LL16D is not in their price league….but when it arrived I simply played one string at a time….I didn’t tune the guitar….I just played one string at a time….and I have to say I have never heard an acoustic guitar sound anything quite like this before. I have absolutely no reason to say anything other than what I found. Indeed visually I was disappointed that the top was clearly two halves of a different piece of wood because they were different shades but the sound was sublime. I am waiting delivery of the twelve string version. Thank you to both Yamaha and Thomann.
