A 12-string with Quebec craftsmanship
Handmade in Quebec with a large proportion of Canadian wood, the Legacy 12 Bourbon Burst CW CH Presys II embodies a meticulous lutherie approach where wood selection and assembly consistency serve the sound. Its Bourbon Burst finish highlights the instrument's personality, while its Concert Hall format aims for a balance between comfort, presence, and versatility.
For which guitarist and styles?
This 12-string electro-acoustic guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced musicians seeking an expressive and inspiring instrument, enjoyable to play both fingerstyle and with a pick. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, vocal accompaniment, and rich arpeggios, where the brightness and harmonic thickness of a 12-string make an immediate difference.
The sound
The solid spruce top provides clarity, attack, and a very dynamic response: the more you nuance, the more the instrument reveals details. The wild cherry back and sides promote a balance between present mids and bright highs, with definition that helps chords remain clear despite the density of a 12-string. The Concert Hall format enhances overall balance (neither too bulky nor too dry), and the cutaway opens up playing at the upper frets. For comfort and stability, the silver maple neck and double-action truss rod contribute to reliable tuning stability, while the Tusq nut ensures a clear attack and good vibration transmission.
Recommended compatible accessories
To maintain the balance and tension of a 12-string, prefer 12-string acoustic guitar string sets (bronze or phosphor bronze depending on the desired tonal color), opting for lighter gauges if you want more flexibility and comfort.
