 YAMAHA | | ACOUSTIC: L SERIES | | Yamaha's L Series represent their standard production top-of-the-line models. In 1978, Yamaha introduced their first L Series guitars in response to the popularity of custom guitar designs. By the mid-1980s, the L Series had expanded to several different body shapes including the LA, LL, and LS designs. In the 1990s other body shapes included the LD and LW designs. In 2004, Yamaha reorganized their entire L Series line into three body shapes: LJ, LL, and LS and four distinct trim offerings: 6, 16, 26, and 36. | | L-5A | | - dreadnought-style body, solid spruce top, two-piece solid mahogany back, solid mahogany sides, round soundhole with three-ring rosette, multi-ply body binding, African mahogany neck, 14/20-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, mahogany headstock overlay with logo, three-per-side chrome tuners, Indian rosewood bridge, black pickguard, available in Natural gloss finish, mfg. 1978-1983. |
