Art et Lutherie - Legacy Denim Blue Q-Discrete

The Art & Lutherie Legacy Denim Blue Q-Discrete is a Canadian-made parlor acoustic guitar inspired by the instruments played by bluesmen and folk singers of yesteryear. Boasting a vintage look with its semi-gloss Denim Blue finish, the Legacy combines aesthetics and sonic performance for players looking for a compact instrument with a rich, expressive sound.

The Legacy’s body is crafted from Canadian wild cherry, a wood known for its ability to deliver balanced, warm tones, especially in the midrange. A carefully selected and pressure-tested solid spruce top ensures optimum resonance and sound projection.

This solid spruce top not only contributes to the instrument’s projection but also provides sonic clarity, ideal for a variety of musical styles, from picking to strumming.

The silver maple neck is comfortable and stable, offering a comfortable grip with a profile that is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. The rosewood fingerboard, with its 16-inch radius, adds a smooth, natural playability, ideal for complex chords and fingerstyle solos. The 16:1 ratio tuners allow for precise tuning, essential for live or studio performances.

One of the Legacy's strengths is its Q-Discrete preamp, integrated directly into the guitar's body, offering easily accessible tone and volume controls.

This system allows guitarists to connect the guitar to an amplifier while maintaining a natural tone, faithful to the instrument's acoustics. In addition, the rosewood bridge and Graphtech nut ensure good vibration transmission, delivering a rich and well-sustained tone.

With its 20 frets, .012-.053 gauge strings, and a resolutely vintage design, the Art & Lutherie Legacy Denim Blue Q-Discrete is a guitar that combines retro charm with a modern and balanced tone.
