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.

01 — Full details

Introducing the Yamaha LS36 ARE Concert Acoustic Guitar - Natural, now available at Irvine Art and Music! This instrument showcases exceptional craftsmanship and delivers mind-blowing tone and feel to your fingertips. Featuring solid rosewood back and sides and a solid Engelmann spruce top treated with Yamaha's patented Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) technology, the LS36 ARE is a stunning piece of artistry. The 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck and ebony fingerboard provide an incredible response and playability, while the genuine ebony bridge and abalone/maple binding offer fine, detailed appointments that enhance both the visual and sonic appeal of this beautiful guitar.

The tonewood combination of rosewood and spruce is a match made in heaven, and the resulting tone is truly something that has to be experienced. The LS36 ARE translates wide-open strumming, picking, and fingerstyle playing beautifully through this tonewood pairing. Thanks to Yamaha's innovative construction and recently developed A.R.E. process, this guitar has a broken-in and aged tone that is second to none. The modified non-scalloped bracing enhances the guitar's low end, and the re-evaluation of string height and spacing on the 5-ply mahogany/rosewood neck ensures improved playability.

Experience the Yamaha LS36 ARE Concert Acoustic Guitar at Irvine Art and Music, and discover the amazing advances in guitar construction that make this instrument so playable and great-sounding. With its solid construction, vintage tone, and gorgeous appointments, this guitar is sure to impress. Plus, with Yamaha die-cast gold tuners, you can count on rock-solid tuning. Don't miss your chance to own this stellar acoustic guitar!
