The Yamaha LS6 ARE is a comfortable concert-size acoustic-electric guitar built for players who want a balanced acoustic voice with the convenience of reliable stage electronics. Its solid Engelmann spruce top uses Yamaha's A.R.E. treatment, paired with rosewood back and sides for a full, articulate response.
The smaller concert body is comfortable to hold without giving up the projection players expect from a full-size acoustic. The traditional neck profile and 44 mm nut width provide a familiar feel for fingerstyle playing, strumming, and general acoustic work.
The solid Engelmann spruce top is the heart of the LS6 ARE. Yamaha's A.R.E. treatment is designed to give the top the tonal character associated with a played-in acoustic guitar, helping the instrument deliver a responsive, open sound.
Rosewood back and sides complement the spruce top with a rich tonal foundation, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge provide a familiar feel and traditional appearance.
The LS6 ARE uses Yamaha's SRT Zero Impact pickup system with a passive design and LINE OUT connection. The pickup is integrated without adding a conventional visible preamp or control panel to the guitar's top, preserving its clean acoustic appearance.
That makes the LS6 ARE a practical choice for players who move between home practice, rehearsals, recording, and amplified performances.
If you prefer a guitar that feels comfortable across a long playing session, the LS6 body shape is worth a look. Its concert body offers a slightly more compact footprint while retaining a 25 9/16" scale and traditional 44 mm nut width.
The combination of Engelmann spruce and rosewood gives the guitar a versatile voice that works well for fingerstyle, singer-songwriter accompaniment, flatpicking, and everyday acoustic playing. The built-in SRT pickup adds flexibility when you need to plug in without changing the guitar's traditional appearance.
