Art et Lutherie - Legacy LH Bourbon Burst CW Presys II

Art & Lutherie Legacy LH Bourbon Burst CW Presys II: a left-handed guitar that attacks with roundness. The solid spruce top releases airy harmonics as soon as the index finger or pick makes contact with the six strings. The Concert Hall format projects each note distinctly, without ever mixing registers. The 631 mm pitch lowers the tension under the fingers. The bendings rise without resistance. The left hand travels faster up the neck. The Bourbon Burst finish evokes the workshop instruments of the 1950s, with a chestnut shading that will age well.

The Canadian wild cherry back and sides filter the treble, leaving only a woody warmth in the midrange. The silver leaf maple neck is resistant to variations in temperature and humidity. The rosewood fingerboard offers a dry, precise feel: the slides stay on course without slipping. The 20 frets cover the entire usual range. The cutaway clears the way to the treble, from the 14th to the 20th fret. The 43 mm nut spreads the strings for complex arpeggios. This left-handed guitar respects bass and treble placement. 4.2 kg on the scales, a stable weight for long sessions.

The Godin Presys II system translates vibrations from the soundboard into an electrical signal. This Canadian model works just as well on an intimate stage as in a recording studio. The semi-gloss finish prevents annoying reflections under the boom. A straightforward, no-frills instrument.
