Utilizing Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.), the LS26 features solid rosewood back and sides with a solid Engelmann spruce top for stunning tone that is balanced, full, and unique. A 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck with ebony fingerboard adds to this stellar instrument’s tone and playability.
