I've got 2 at the moment, a new LL16 ARE and a 2002 LA8 which I got recently. Played the LA-8 quite a bit the last 2 nights as I think I need to move one on and looks like the LL16 may have to make way.

Both fab guitars and incredibly different in their approach to tone, I can see superficially how the LL would be considered the more 'impressive' sounding, it's got loads of bottom end, very airy sounding and great playability since I had it set up. The LA is different, still got some power when you dig in but overall, a tad more 'shut in' than the LL but overall I feel there's a bit more of an 'authentic' quality to the tone, plus they're rare as rocking horse poo so it ain't goin' nowhere

L-series Yams, you gotta love 'em. enjoy yours.
