[YAMAHA LEGEND HISTORY]

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, which 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 three FG/N/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 each of these four models has a distinctive appearance and design that attracts the eye.

The one introduced here is the L-52 CUSTOM made in 1977.
The black jumbo body is reminiscent of Gibson's Everly Brothers.
The body width is approximately 435 mm, and the body thickness is just under 120 mm, making it quite wide.
The machines owned by Paul Simon and John Lennon were custom-ordered by Bass, the successor to the L-52, the CJ-52, and both of them 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 on the Tom, 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.
It is a one-of-a-kind tone among YAMAHA ACOUSTIC guitars, suitable for jazz and blues as well as archtop.
