Yamaha LL56 ARE

Old_folkie

Hi guys has anyone got a LL56 and could anyone possibly review it ? I think they are discontinued but Yamaha dont  seem to be giving away much info.

@artiebear has an LJ56 iirc. 

I have an LL36. Ridiculously good guitar. The best take on a dreadnought I’ve ever played and made with an attention to detail that is virtually peerless. Really really underrated guitars. I too would like a clearer story on what’s happening with the L series. Peach says they are discontinued, apparently someone at YML said they are winding the shop down because the luthiers are all nearing retirement and they don’t have enough replacements - but they are still on sale/offered in other countries so not quite sure if they just have stuff warehoused and waiting or what. Getting accurate into out of Yamaha is no simple task.

Yamaha had a blowout last year, discussion here....

A stray LL36 popped up today at Peach for a very good price... https://www.peachguitars.com/yamaha-ll36-acoustic-guitar-natural.htm

Nice bit of Engelmann on that too - virtually no runout.

I had a chuckle when it is showing a 6k guitar and then it says in the specs 'with hardcase!' It should come with a butler and scullery maid too. I'd be in shock if it said 'with optional refuse sack' though.

I also got one of the LL36's in the blowout sale, it's fantastic. There is a good YouTube video here on the 26 36 and 56. 

If you can get one they are stunning.
