A.R.E. Technology

A.R.E. stands for Acoustic Resonance Enchantment, it has been developed by Yamaha since the late 1990's to mature the woods used without the use of any chemical treatment. This process is done by precisely controlling temperature, humidity and pressure to change the wood on a cellular level. This ages the wood to give the tonal characteristics of a 15 year old guitar which has had time to mature. The LL26 gives the player the tone and feel of a high end vintage instrument without the 5 figure price tag.
