Folk Guitar

The LS36 ARE is one of Yamaha's 'Small Body' series guitars, handcrafted in Japan and renowned for its balanced tone and clarity, making it ideal for fingerstyle playing. It features top-of-the-line solid woods, including an Engelmann spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, treated with Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology to achieve a rich, mature resonance, like that of an aged instrument. For optimum playing comfort, it has a five-ply neck (mahogany/palissander) with a very fine nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a modified internal bracing design for better tonal balance.

When you slide your palm over the 5-ply mahogany/palissander neck of Yamaha's LS36 ARE Natural guitar, you immediately feel the subtle balance between firmness and comfort. The standard 650 mm scale allows you to spread your fingers naturally while maintaining a clear, articulate tone.

When you first strum the Engelmann spruce top, pre-treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), vibrates almost like an old guitar. This treatment improves the dynamic response without waiting years. The solid rosewood back and sides complement this energy with a harmonic richness that is both deep and defined. The high-gloss nitrocellulose varnish finish frees up the resonance, while revealing the wood grain over time.

When your right hand attacks an arpeggio, the ebony fingerboard glides along with controlled smoothness, and the ebony bridge converts every pulse into natural sustain. The moulded gold tuners (TM-29G) keep the instrument stable even in concert, and the Yamaha FS50BT strings deliver immediate attack while retaining warmth and sustain over time.

Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar responds to the slightest nuance in your playing, as if it senses your intentions. The included hard case ensures it's protected and ready to travel. For guitarists looking for an instrument capable of expressing their style with clarity, the LS36 ARE opens up a whole new world, not just for playing, but for revealing your potential.
