In 1974, Yamaha introduced the "L-series" lineup, which was designed to be more upscale. The first model was the "L-31". This model was a luxury sublimation of the FG-2000, and led to the Custom Series released in 1975. The "L" in the series name stands for "Luxury," and this series consisted of the highest grade models among the FG, N, and L series lined up at that time. Furthermore, the four models in the L series lineup from 1975 are commonly known as the "Four Heavenly Kings," an ostentatious title, and all four models are eye-catching in their distinctive appearance and design.
The L-52 CUSTOM made in 1977 is introduced here. The black jumbo body is reminiscent of Gibson's Everly Brothers. The body width is approximately 435mm, and the body thickness is just under 120mm, making it quite wide. The machines owned by Paul Simon and John Lennon were custom-ordered based on the CJ-52, the successor to the L-52, and both fell in love with the sound.
The sound impression is characterized by the crisp and crisp impression typical of maple as well as the sound pressure with YAMAHA's character. The saddles on each string, like Tom's, allow for very good sound separation, and the sound is not muffled, but rather the body vibrates firmly and you can feel the heavy lows. Like the archtop, this is a one-of-a-kind tone among the YAMAHA ACOUSTIC models that is also suitable for jazz and blues.
