Folk Guitar

Crafted by a master luthier in Yamaha's Japanese workshops, the LS56 Custom ARE guitar is distinguished by its high-quality lutherie, using hand-selected solid woods such as Engelmann spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Its major asset is the A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, an exclusive Yamaha process that ages the wood to produce a rich, open sound typical of a guitar that has been played for years. Playing comfort is optimised by a slim five-ply neck in mahogany and rosewood, a pleasant traditional profile and an ultra-fine nitrocellulose varnish that promotes the instrument's natural resonance.

When you pick up the LS56 Custom ARE from the famous Yamaha brand, you immediately feel that it has lived: the A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment applied to its solid Engelmann spruce top gives it a smooth harmonic opening, reminiscent of aged guitars, with a more airy sustain, without sacrificing clarity on the attack. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides add richness to the bass and floral overtones to the treble, a wood that responds to your touch.

The 5-ply mahogany/palissander neck, combined with the ebony fingerboard, offers both firmness and playing comfort: whether you're strumming, finger-picking or playing open chords, you'll feel tactile precision. The natural nitrocellulose finish enhances the wood species while allowing it to breathe, contributing to the instrument's natural beauty. The gold-plated open gear ensures tuning stability while contributing to the refined aesthetic.

The passive electronics, complemented by the SRT Zero Impact pickup, give you access to faithful amplified sound without unnecessary coloration when plugged in, which is ideal on stage or in the studio. Finally, the Elixir NANOWEB 80/20 Bronze Light strings, combined with 20 frets and a 650 mm scale, guarantee expressive playing with balanced tension, suitable for both demanding players and extended sessions. If you're looking for a guitar that combines character, precision and elegance, the LS56 Custom ARE is well worth a try.
