Art et Lutherie - Legacy Bourbon Burst Presys II

The Art & Lutherie Legacy Bourbon Burst Presys II is first and foremost announced by its colour: a Bourbon Burst gradation on a solid spruce top with a semi-gloss finish, where burnt amber turns to deep chestnut on the sides. The pressure-tested top prior to assembly is not a manufacturing detail - it's a guarantee of a responsive feel and a natural projection that's just as at home in the living room as it is in the hall.
The Concert Hall body in Canadian birch - back and sides - wraps the sound in a warm woody tone with rounded harmonics, without ever weighing it down. The silver leaf maple neck is dimensionally stable over time, while the rosewood fingerboard offers a curvature under the fingers that is conducive to clean glides and straightforward attacks on the 20 frets. The 43 mm nut spans the strings generously - a width that's ideal for both fingerpicking and open tuning in alternate tuning.
The cutaway gives unrestricted access to the upper positions, and this is where Godin's Presys II comes in: an electronic system designed for the stage, which restores the acoustic character of the instrument in the sound system. Right-handed, 6 strings, made in Canada
