Art et Lutherie - Legacy Bourbon Burst CW Presys II

With the Legacy Bourbon Burst CW Presys II, Art & Lutherie has created an acoustic-electric guitar whose solid spruce top - selected and pressure-tested - immediately establishes an airy dynamic and a warm grain tinged with woody depth. The semi-gloss finish lets the wood breathe, while the amber chestnut of the Bourbon Burst gives the instrument a vintage patina that evokes late-night sessions as much as a brightly lit stage.
Canadian craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the structure. The Canadian wild cherry back and sides provide a full-bodied midrange response and even sustain throughout the register. The silver leaf maple neck combines rigidity and lightness, for a left hand that effortlessly finds its bearings on the 20 frets of the neck. The rosewood fingerboard - with its 43 mm nut for generous string spacing - allows precisely held barre positions and glides naturally from one chord to the next. The 631 mm pitch places string tension in a median window, neither too soft nor too resistant, for the benefit of clarity in fingerpicking and attack in rhythmic playing.
The Concert Hall Cutaway format trims the cutaway to free up access to the upper frets - no high chromaticism is out of reach. The Godin electronics coupled with the Presys II preamplifier faithfully reproduce the acoustic character of the instrument when amplified, without colouring the signal. Handcrafted, Canadian, with a 2-year warranty, the Legacy Bourbon Burst CW Presys II is for the guitarist who refuses to choose between the warmth of an intimate session and the demands of a live set.
