An Americana-inspired dreadnought, designed and made in Canada
With its understated "Faded Black" aesthetic and design focused on musical efficiency, the Americana Faded Black Presys II follows the tradition of folk guitars made to be played for a long time, anywhere. Handmade in Quebec and composed of 95% Canadian wood, it highlights local luthiery and tonewoods known for their stability, with an approach geared towards versatility (acoustic playing and amplification).
For which guitarists and styles?
Thanks to its dreadnought body shape and onboard electronics, this guitar is suited both for beginner guitarists seeking a comfortable and reliable folk guitar, and for intermediate musicians looking for a coherent instrument for home, stage, or recording. It is particularly comfortable in folk, country, pop, acoustic rock, and vocal accompaniment, with a good volume reserve for rhythm playing.
The sound
The solid spruce top delivers a lively response and excellent clarity: pick attacks stand out well while maintaining finesse in arpeggios. The wild cherry back and sides promote a balanced register, with structured midrange and beautiful definition, useful for sitting well in a mix. The dreadnought shape enhances projection and support in the lower spectrum, providing a natural sense of power, ideal for carrying rhythm parts without effort. Plugged in, the Fishman electronics preserve the essential acoustic character while adding practicality on stage.
Recommended compatible accessories
As this guitar is an electro-acoustic folk model, you can opt for a set of steel acoustic strings (for example, phosphor bronze) to maintain brightness, projection, and balance. An instrument jack cable is also necessary for amplification via the preamp.
