Brand: Art and Lutherie
Instrument Categories: Acoustic Steel String, Guitars, SOLD
Here’s a very good looking, cool Art & Lutherie Legacy HG sporting a high-gloss Indigo Burst finish and Godin’s Q-Discrete pickup set, with volume and tone controls right on the solid Spruce top. 95% of the woods used in this model are sourced from Canada.
Using a body design similar to the classic OM Orchestra Model, the Art & Lutherie Legacy features a solid Spruce top for tone, paired with 3-layer laminate Wild Cherry Back & Sides for stability and durability. The neck is locally sourced Silver Leaf Maple with Indian Rosewood used for the 16-inch radius fingerboard and bridge. The nut and saddle are Tusq by Graphtech, and the truss rod is double acting – it can not just straighten the neck, but add relief to it. It’s also got a strap pin mounted on the bass side, just above the heel, with a reinforcing block inside for security.
This version of the Art & Lutherie Legacy is a bit unusual in that it carries Godin’s Q-Discrete passive pickup set. Like the classic Gibson J-160E, the the volume and tone controls are mounted on the lower edge of the top and lead to an endpin jack. The Indigo Burst finish is also unusual and very nice looking. The effect is subtle – when I first saw this guitar on the rack, it looked black.
This is a great guitar for fingerstyle or rhythm playing.
The Art & Lutherie Legacy HG is sold without case. We carry three types of cases for these guitars – two gig bags and the Tric case – which are available at a discounted price when purchased with the guitar.
These cases are a Basic gig bag at $45, a Deluxe blue gig bag at $70, and the Tric case at $99.
