A Handmade "Made in Québec" Electro-Acoustic with a Strong Character
Handcrafted in Québec, the Legacy Faded Black CW CH Presys II showcases North American craftsmanship and a selection of mostly local materials, with 95% Canadian wood. Its Faded Black finish enhances its visual identity: sober, modern, and stage-ready, while allowing the guitar to express a sonic personality focused on precision and balance.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
Thanks to its Concert Hall format and cutaway, this guitar is suitable for both beginner guitarists seeking a comfortable folk guitar and intermediate players wanting a versatile electro-acoustic. It excels in pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, and is particularly comfortable in fingerstyle thanks to its balance and quick response.
Sound
The solid spruce top delivers a clear attack and a wide dynamic range: it provides a sensitive response to nuances, with good projection and natural sustain. The wild cherry (back/sides) complements the whole with a balanced register, beautiful definition in the mids, and clear highs, helping fingerstyle playing remain articulate even on rich chords.
Plugged in, the Fishman Presys II electronics allow for an immediately usable sound, practical for stage, rehearsals, and direct recording. The cutaway favors solos and high positions, while the luthiery remains focused on clarity and precision without losing the warm character expected from a folk guitar.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of this electro-acoustic, you can opt for a set of steel strings for acoustic guitar (gauge according to your comfort), a capo for folk guitar, plectrums (soft to medium for accompaniment, stiffer for precision), and a tuner. These accessories are universal and perfectly suited to an electro-acoustic folk guitar.
