Yamaha LS56 Custom ARE - Engelmann Spruce/Indian Rosewood (2023)

This pre-owned Yamaha LS56, made in Japan with an Engelmann Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides (all solid woods), and treated with Yamaha's ARE (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process, is a meticulously, beautifully built guitar with excellent tone and wonderfully easy playability!  This guitar is used, but just barely, with no visible signs of wear.  This guitar surprised me - I've played many Yamaha instruments before, but none like this!  Here is Yamaha's description of this model:  

The L Series flagship model, LS56 Custom ARE, is crafted by a master luthier using only the finest, hand-selected materials. Not only does it deliver rich, warm acoustic resonance, but its detailed cosmetics make this instrument a beautiful piece of art.
