While the electronics aren’t great, you get more than your money’s worth with this beautiful acoustic guitar.  Forget about the electric component when judging this guitar.

Yamaha LS6 Review

Acoustic-Electric Guitar Features:

  • Solid Engelmann Spruce top 
  • Acoustic Resonance Enhancement
  • Rosewood Back & Sides
  • Elixir Strings
  • 5-ply neck with high comfort traditional profile
  • SRT Zero Impact passive Pickup
  • Available in Dreadnaught and Concert Styles
  • A variety of wood choices and finishes available

With a choice of rosewood or mahogany bodies, this guitar has a great look that matches it’s rich sound.  If the electronics were a little better, I imagine it would cost a good bit more.  But even with that in mind, it’s a very solid acoustic electric guitar.


 

9.2 Expert Score

This is a great guitar at any price, especially as an acoustic guitar under $500.  The Yamaha L Series LS6 has a lot going for it and it’s impressive that the price hasn’t been inflated by that fact.

PROS
  • This guitar is offered in both Dreadnaught and Concert Styles which is nice
  • There are a variety of wood choices and finishes available to suite your taste
CONS
  • As an acoustic guitar this is exceptional but the electronics should likely be replaced as they don't come close to doing justice to the natural acoustic tone
