Classic Vintage sounds of the Blues and Folk are the metier of the Art & Lutherie Legacy models. The electroacoustic western with its characteristic curved waist and large base is ideal for flat- and fingerpicking players who are looking for a powerful and agile Instrument . For electrically amplified gigs and sessions, the classic was equipped with a Godin Quantum 1T Pickup system for use with acoustic amplifiers and effect devices. Last but not least, the new Semi-Gloss patina finish with its well-rehearsed feeling on neck and body contributes to the smooth handling of Art & Lutherie.
The Legacy sound is warm and open in the middle with a vocal note. The sound character resulting from a massive spruce top and a body of Canadian wild cherry with soft attack and long standing tone is therefore ideal for solo playing or as a welcome vocal addition in small ensembles. All the tonewoods used in the body Legacy come from sustainable Canadian forestry and are treated with a wafer-thin and vibrant Semi-Gloss patina finish.
If you want to play the Art & Lutherie acoustic guitar with electric amplification, you can simply use the built-in pickup f Quantum 1T rom the company. The combination of the lower bridge pickup and preamplifier provides the player with a treble and bass 2-Band tone control and an integrated tuner for quick tuning between songs to have the right sound in the right tuning at hand at all times.
