Art & Lutherie Americana Faded Black CW Presys II

A Handmade Electro-Acoustic Guitar from Quebec, at the Heart of Canadian Tonewoods

This Americana Faded Black CW PRESYS II showcases craftsmanship handmade in Quebec (Canada), with a design focused on local woods: 95% Canadian wood. Its dreadnought cutaway format makes it a performance-oriented instrument, capable of transitioning from powerful acoustic playing to reliable amplified use thanks to its onboard electronics.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

Thanks to its dreadnought size and solid top, this guitar is aimed at motivated beginner guitarists as well as intermediate players seeking an expressive electro-acoustic, equally comfortable in rehearsals and concerts. It is particularly suited for folk, pop, country, pick accompaniment, as well as fingerpicking. The cutaway provides real comfort for exploring higher positions, useful for acoustic lead playing or enriching arrangements.

Sound

The solid spruce top drives projection: it promotes a clear attack, a wide dynamic range, and good definition, especially when playing with a pick. The wild cherry back and sides add a balanced character, with present mids and a consistent response that integrates easily into a mix. The silver maple neck contributes to precision and stability, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly softens the upper spectrum to maintain a musical and comfortable tone. When amplified, the Fishman Presys II allows you to retain the essential character of the instrument and quickly manage your sound on stage, with a simple and effective interface.
