The Yamaha LS16M is a small-bodied, all-solid acoustic-electric guitar designed for players who want rich tone, smooth feel, and premium L Series craftsmanship. Featuring a hand-selected solid Engelmann spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, it delivers a warm, balanced sound with impressive projection. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck with a slimmer profile and refined fingerboard edges enhances overall playability.
Yamaha’s A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process gives the LS16M a naturally aged, resonant tone, while modified non-scalloped bracing boosts low-end response. Its medium-jumbo body size offers detailed, responsive performance that’s perfect for fingerstyle players.
For stage use, the passive SRT Zero Impact pickup provides clear, natural amplification with six individual piezo elements, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character without a bulky preamp.
