This guitar is amazing, I own one. It has a tremendous presence, and fantastic sustain. I’d put this up against a high end Taylor or Hummingbird. For the price you really aren’t going to get a nicer sounding guitar. I haven’t played through an amp too much with it, because it’s so loud and full sounding on its own, it really doesn’t need amplification for what I use it for. The only adjustment I made on this guitar was sanding down the bridge saddle by maybe 1/8”, which put the action at a perfect height. I’m really pleased with this guitar, and I did buy it from Kraft. I got the whole package with the case and everything. Dealing with Kraft was a great experience and I’m really pleased with the purchase. Would recommend both the LL16 and Kraft as well.
Thanks for your business and glad to hear you're loving the LL16. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything else. Cheers!

I have had the Yamaha LL16 are for a few months now, and I have played it next to Martins and Taylors, Tanglewood Masterclass, and even hand built one-off guitars.
The Yamaha left them all for dead. I kid you not!
I went into the guitar shop in town and I told the guy to give me some martins,taylors,etc. I played all the high end acoustics guitars then I asked him "give me the best sounding guitar you have in here." He said it's a Yamaha ll16 a.r.e. when I played it it was hands down the best sounding one. Hand crafted solid top,back,and sides. I went straight to the cashier and I can't stop playing it.
Possibly the best guitar review I’ve ever seen. Tons of different style of playing dispersed between the info. Love it!
20 years ago if someone told I'd be playing more Yamahas than I play Martins I'd say that will never happen.
I have an LL16 and before I bought it, I tried it out in the shop against a Martin acoustic in the same price range. The Martin was made from laminated woods, and the Yamaha is built of solid woods. I would never think of putting Martin guitars down in any way but just thought that value and quality wise, the Yamaha is a better investment in this price range. I had the LL16 set up properly and it is really a great guitar to play, and a beautiful tone.
The all solid wood made in Mexico Martins are very nice , and in the same price range.
Totally with you. A good Martin (series 15 and up) is a thing of beauty. In the mid range budget Yamaha L and FG series are superb.
I've had this guitar for just under a year and I have to say it is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever played. I have played anything from gibson's from the the forty's and fairly new 5000 dollar Taylor's
Received the guitar last Friday and I can't be happier. I'm fact, I can't put it down. I can play this guitar for hours. Its everything as advertised by Jeff. Simply an awesome guitar!!!
How can anyone gives this a thumbs down.
I own one of these guitars, and they are unbelievable. I agree that the guitar sounds " thin" on this demo, but it's because it was recorded badly+TH-cam's compression destroys the sound.
I have owned Martins, Taylors, Lowdens, Epiphones, Avalon's (Chinese and Irish) to name but a few.
This Yamaha completely blows them all away. It's the only guitar I have ever known where you can put a capo on any fret right up to the top of the neck, and it stays perfectly in tune, and even then the body rings like a bell. The neck has zero-strain playability. My advice is go and try one out.
I just order one and I'm excited to play it. Yamaha manufacturers excellent guitars at great price points for the working class. Video was awesome!!!
This is one of the best reviews of an instrument I've watched. Nice job, Jake - and some very tasteful playing.
Agreed- good rundown of everything and a good actual review- i.e. - not a concert. ;) Thanks for taking them to point out the body details, etc. as some of us are likely buying this guitar sight unseen- just on the reputation of Yamaha and the woods/size/features. Great work.
Very lively sounding. Bright and trebly. Suited more to finger picking than strumming etc to my ears at least
I have only been playing for 4 years and I have been looking for that one guitar that I love without paying over $1000. And I have found it !! This guitar suits my style GREAT! I just love it and can't put it down, it's so easy to play for a new guitar. Not to mention that my brown sunburst, looks soooo cool!! In my opinion, the best bang for your buck!!
Thanks man. Your passion is inspiring man and you play great! Cool guitars too. Sound beautiful!
Nice review. I've had one of these for a couple of years and it really is a beautiful guitar
I own Martin And Gibson Hummingbird Pro Great Guitars ? BUT! My favorite is my LL16 DX in Black !
My LL16 is my third 'L' series dread (previously owned a pre-A.R.E. LL6 and LL16), and I have owned Yamaha acoustics since my first, an FG180 red label, bought new in 1969. I also own a sunburst LJ6. Yamaha simply don't do 'average' and build some beautiful instruments, from the lowly FG8XX right up to the LL86 Custom for which you'll be asked around £10,000. Great review as usual.
what do you recommend for a beginner . fg8xx(800 820 830 850) or ll16 fg180-50th .I have a cordoba classical and really love yamaha but donnt know what to buy .
Beautiful instrument and great playing !!!
One thing the host did not mention, which is most vital to the tone, is how the braces underneath the back and top are tuned - in other words, what are their final widths and heights, because it is precisely that which forms the harmonic picture of the guitar's sound which inclines us to like the tone, or not, as the case may be.
Just bought the deluxe version of LL16
That 12 string sounds sweet
I have the LL16 natural ,the thing almost never gets out of tune ,
This guitar can also take a beating,its built like a tank.
Also its the perfect camp guitar. I've had it for almost two years know.
Only thing i don't like is that its made in china.
If Yamaha ever did one made in Japan i would buy one.
I once written a commnet on the Martin Road Series Review here on youtube, that my Takamine TAN15C, which is MIJ and got it for 600$ used, is a much better value for money than the guitars around 1500$ which are expensive only because of the brand name. The LL series by Yamaha, Fender CD140 and higher, Seagull S6, Epiphone Masterbilt etc are all under 1000$ and a better buy IMO. If one wants a pro sound and seeks only new guitars, then when on budget, it makes no sense. If you have the money, but the expensive ones, ok, but if you want to stretch the money yet want a fine sound, buy a used guitar. I can honestly say the TAN15C can rival any 2000-3000$ acoustic. Especially my piece, as the woods are just hand picked premium!
vtwintora the one made in China is nice too. Japan is too expensive.
Yamaha have their own factory in China with the quality control of Japan
So don't worry about it. That's not your typical Made in China product.
I love those guitars...I'm gonna get one or two
The best demo I have seen on TH-cam of this guitar is by Massimiliano Cona. He also plays them "flat If you want to hear the true sound check him out. (Great guy too)
Lovely playing!
great review dude
Great video...very comprehensive review! Thanks
Great video, great sound! Does Kraft do a video about the LL26, LL36? And do you give any advice , where to plug the STR Piezo in? Preamp?
I already own a Martin Dred but recently drifted to Yamahas. Already own a F330 and a FG800. Honestly it's a toss up between the 2 Yamahas and the
Martin in playability. My son owns an FG830 and I bought his son an F335. Yamaha is winning my family over!!!
@SocialMonkey. Yamaha have been building musical instruments since 1887 (the three tuning fork logo points to their heritage), and there's nothing remotely clone-like in the design of the 'L' series. which is a Yamaha original. I'm delighted they're 'un-American', frankly, and the 'L' series which goes right up to the LL86 ($15,000) can put many US-built acoustic guitars to shame. Do yourself a favour and play a few.
They bake it in the oven til it's crusty
🌴🌞🎸🎶🐸🎶🎸🌞🌴✌️😎👌
As soon as they release me from the poor house I'm gonna nab an LL16
What was the last song he played? I would really like to learn it!
Im wondering, was that the yamaha ll16 ARE hand crafted acoustic guitar played by Jake blake!
Yes. It is
thanx for the review. the strumming parts are really harsh tho
What the hell, you sound just like John Mayer!
Yamaha make really nice guitars. Better then the fake wood, sawdust guitars from the bigger name guitar companies.
When Yamaha says "rosewood" is it Indian Indian rosewood or is it somthing else? The Yamaha specs say rosewood not Indian rosewood.
what is the price for this guitar
LL16M or FG3?
How does a APX 1000 compare with LL16, seems about same price. Anyone?
Hi! May we know what's the opening song? Thanks!
What kind of rosewood does Yamaha use for the back and sides?
Carl Wilson Indian rosewood of course this thing ain't that good btw
Can anybody tell me if the stock saddle is good enough or I need to upgrade to a bone saddle to improve the tone of the guitar?
don't waste the time unless you want unbleached bone. the FGSX800C has what appears to be artificial bone, but not NuBone.
vincnet11 i put a tusq saddle on mine and it sounds great, much better then the urea saddle which came with it which i believe is plastic.
Well when you drop them on a hard surface together they dont have the same sound, tusq sounds almost like glass dopping the urea doesn't it sounds like plastic to me
Roy Lay why have they started using tusq nut and saddles on the new 5 series acoustic guitars if urea is the equivalent of tusq ?
When Yamaha says mahogany are the talking about eastern mahogany or Honduran mahogany?
Carl Wilson Eastern
Hi! Where are made those guitars?
Jonathan Salazar Reyes MIC
What would be the string height measurements of both e strings, at 3rd fret and 12th fret , after the plek treatment? I want one of these guitars, without the famous, unplayable string action, and shoddy fret work that it covers up. So far, nobody has been able to give those measurements, or even an estimate.
5 ply necks aren't any more stable than 3 ply necks. Even a 2 piece neck removes the continuous grain through the center of the neck. I'd imagine that the neck is 5 ply instead of 3 due to a different machine making the neck.
Look around at all of the most expensive guitars, they're one piece necks. The whole reason for the multi-piece neck isn't stability (it's a nice side effect), it's because it's too expensive to find good mahogany one-piece blanks to make a neck on a guitar in this price range.
you can combat that by making laminated necks, or you can make a thin neck and build up the heel and scarf the peghead.
It's a very good guitar for the money, but some of the ad copy stuff gets really old.
My Lowden F50 has a 5 ply neck. Pretty sure that had nothing to do with cost savings.
Yeah honestly that does get a bit old. It affects the credibility in a way 🙃
Baking and slow boiling wood - with or without additives - wood is not something proprietary to Yamaha, for it has been done by many for a very very long time - going back to baroque lute, harpsichord, and violin makers, and perhaps much further beyond than that. Getting rid of those oils and resins, in the right way, enhances the ability of the woods to sing all of the partials over the overtone series just that much more clearly, resulting in a much better tone.
instinct tells me that fucking with the "molecular structure" of anything will turn out bad. I'll pass on the magical "ARE treatment"
I wanted this guitar so bad till I heard this video. The FGX5 would be so much more appealing if it wasn't such a dull looking guitar for the price.
The back and sides sound much better being solid wood........on a Yamaha?
That's a crass and unenlightened statement
+Sean Duggan Spot on accurate. Yamaha KNOWS how to build laminated guitars that hold their own with solid wood. Have for 50 years.
Griole
Oops!
Unfortunately still sounds very very thin however. They haven'y got it down yet but many Asian built guitars do have it nutted. This gets a negative score from me.
i tried watching but boring beyond words
