Yamaha LL56 Ex Scott Holiday Rival Sons

In the landscape of American rock, Rival Sons stand out with an explosive presence, taking over stages worldwide with screaming electric guitars and roaring riffs. At the heart of this sonic storm is the charismatic Scott Holiday, the band’s rhythmic backbone and the architect of many captivating solos. But what would a rock band be without its quieter, softer, more melancholic ballads? On the acoustic side, Scott Holiday has long been a fan of Yamaha guitars. This stunning LL56 was part of his touring arsenal — a prototype used for years to accompany Rival Sons’ more delicate moments.

Among Yamaha’s acoustic offerings, the LL56 is an exceptional instrument. Its outstanding sound projection and clarity have won over many artists seeking rich, melodic tones. This magnificent Custom Shop model pays tribute to the brand’s iconic L series, with a luxurious Deluxe version. The guitar available at Matt’s Guitar Shop is a prototype LL56 from 2011. With a solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and abalone inlays, it offers impressive dynamics and exceptional playability. Scott Holiday played this very guitar for several years, both in the studio and on stage, and even signed the headstock. Of special note is the label on the back of the headstock indicating the tuning preferred by the Rival Sons guitarist… A superb guitar, ready to hit the road again, now available at Matt’s Guitar Shop!
