YAMAHA / LS26ARE

The LS26ARE acoustic guitar delivers a rich sound thanks to Yamaha's unique wood modification technology, A.R.E. YUI has recently become fond of the LS26, and it appears to be used for many songs during live performances.

■A serene, vintage-inspired design, including open-gear tuning machines. Like its exterior, this model boasts an open, mature sound and exceptional response.
■A.R.E. [Acoustic Resonance Enhancement] is a wood modification technology developed exclusively by Yamaha. Applying this technology to the guitar's body material delivers a rich, mellow tone that sounds like it's been played for years. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and air pressure without using any chemicals, we achieve rapid changes similar to those experienced in aged wood. This improves sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promotes the extension of mid- and low-frequency components, and accelerates the attack and decay of high-frequency components. This results in a well-balanced, mature, warm sound with fewer harsh overtones.
■ The non-scalloped X-bracing structure used in the ""L Series"" has been further refined using the latest analytical and modeling technology and expert craftsmanship. It maximizes the natural resonance of the wood, delivering a deeper, richer mid- and low-frequency range.
■ Detail improvements have been made to string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and neck taper. A new neck shape has been created to better fit guitarists. The newly designed neck provides a stable grip and smooth playability from high to low positions. The neck-body joint shape previously used in custom models has also been adopted for the ""L36 Series"" and ""L26 Series."" The expanded joint area improves the efficiency of sound vibration transmission, resulting in deeper sustain.
■ All models feature a double-action truss rod that applies force in both forward and backward bow directions, allowing for more precise neck adjustment.
■ The lacquer finish is carefully applied in multiple layers by skilled technicians. This finish maximizes the wood's vibration transmission capabilities, resulting in quick sound response and rich resonance.
