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.

Experience Master Craftsmanship with Yamaha LL56 Custom A.R.E. Original Jumbo Acoustic Guitar

The Yamaha LL56 Custom A.R.E. Original Jumbo Acoustic Guitar is an exceptional instrument that offers a lifetime of playing enjoyment. Expertly handcrafted by master luthiers at Yamaha's legendary Japanese facility, this guitar boasts a hand-selected rosewood body and Engelmann spruce top, both of which have been treated with Yamaha's A.R.E. technology. The result is a balanced tone and extended lifespan that will impress any player. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience and incredible response, making this guitar a standout among the rest.

Innovative Construction for Enhanced Performance Yamaha's dedication to perfection is evident in every detail of the LL56's construction. The A.R.E. process, which controls the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity, provides the guitar with an aged tone that enhances its playability. Additionally, the modified non-scalloped bracing enhances the low end while maintaining the Yamaha high-end signature sound. The re-evaluated 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck, with its improved string height and spacing, ensures superior playability and a lifetime of performance.

Exceptional Quality and Attention to Detail The LL56's attention to detail is nothing short of stunning. The abalone/maple binding and abalone rosette add a touch of elegance to the guitar's outline and headstock. The ebony bridge offers a striking visual appeal while enhancing the guitar's tone. The genuine bone saddle and nut provide both aesthetic and tonal support. Finally, the die-cast gold tuners not only ensure rock-solid tuning but also add a classic vibe to the guitar's overall appearance.

Find the Yamaha LL56 Custom A.R.E. Original Jumbo Acoustic Guitar at Irvine Art & Music and experience the unmatched craftsmanship and superior performance that Yamaha is known for.
