Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Exquisite Jumbo Acoustic from Yamaha

The Yamaha LL26 ARE is an exceptional tribute to the golden era of acoustic guitars, with its vintage-inspired design, tone, and feel. Handcrafted by Japanese luthiers, this instrument features Yamaha's innovative ARE technology that enhances its tonal qualities to perfection. Boasting a solid rosewood body and a solid Engelmann spruce top, the LL26 delivers a beautifully balanced, full-bodied, and distinctive tone. Its 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck and ebony fingerboard provide exceptional playability and comfort, while the maple binding and ebony bridge further elevate this magnificent acoustic guitar.

Stellar tonewood pairing The pairing of rosewood and spruce in the LL26 has been favored by countless players for its unique blend of rich lows and sparkling highs. Whether you prefer wide-open strums, picking, or fingerstyle techniques, the tonal quality of the LL26 never disappoints. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck and ebony fingerboard offer a smooth and responsive feel that enhances your playing experience.

Innovative construction for superior sound Yamaha's relentless pursuit of perfection has resulted in innovative construction techniques that give the LL26 its exceptional tone and playability. The ARE (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process creates a mature and broken-in tone by manipulating the molecular properties of the wood to mimic that of a vintage guitar. The non-scalloped bracing system is specially modified to enhance the guitar's low end, while the redesigned 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck provides improved string height and spacing for effortless playability. The LL26 is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to building superior guitars that deliver exceptional sound and feel.
