Art & Lutherie Americana Bourbon Burst Q1T
Description
Description
This second hand acoustic guitar is in very good condition.
A bit of heavy play wear near the sound hole , and a couple of marks round the edges of the body, otherwise great.
The Art & Lutherie Americana feels like it has a story the moment you pick it up. Built in Canada by the Godin family of brands, it blends traditional folk aesthetics with modern reliability. The Q1T electronics make it stage‑ready, while the solid cedar top gives it a warm, broken‑in voice right out of the box.
This is a guitar for players who want character, comfort, and a tone that leans earthy rather than bright.
Build & Craftsmanship
- Top: Solid cedar
- Back & sides: Wild cherry (laminate but high‑quality and tonally distinctive)
- Neck: Silver leaf maple
- Finish: Semi‑gloss, thin enough to let the wood breathe
- Made in: Canada
Art & Lutherie guitars always feel more “hand‑touched” than most in their price range. The Americana is no exception. The Bourbon Burst finish is tasteful, rustic without being gimmicky.
The parlor‑inspired dreadnought shape is comfortable, slightly slimmer than a full dread, and very approachable for long sessions.
Playability
- Neck profile: Slim, comfortable, and very Godin‑like—fast but not overly modern
- Action: Usually good out of the box, but benefits from a minor setup
- Feel: Cedar’s responsiveness makes it rewarding for fingerstyle and light strumming
- Weight: Lighter than many dreadnoughts, making it great for gigging or travel
Tone & Character
This is where the Americana shines.
Acoustic tone:
- Warm, woody, and intimate
- Strong mids with a slightly compressed attack
- Smooth highs—never harsh
- Bass is present but not boomy
- Fingerstyle
- Roots, Americana, folk
- Recording (cedar sits beautifully in a mix)
- Singer‑songwriter accompaniment
Q1T Electronics
The Godin Q1T system is simple but effective:
- Controls: Volume + tone
- Sound: Natural, warm, and low‑noise
- Live use: Reliable and feedback‑resistant
Hardware & Reliability
- Tuners: High‑quality sealed units, stable and smooth
- Bridge & nut: Tusq (a big plus for tone and tuning stability)
Pros
- Warm, expressive cedar tone
- Excellent craftsmanship for the price
- Comfortable, slightly smaller dreadnought body
- Quality Q1T electronics
- Tusq nut and saddle
- Made in Canada
Cons
- Not ideal for aggressive strumming
- Projection is good, but not dreadnought‑level loud
- Some players may prefer a brighter spruce‑based voice
The Art & Lutherie Americana Bourbon Burst Q1T is a soulful, character‑rich acoustic that punches far above its price. It’s warm, expressive, beautifully built, and stage‑ready without fuss. If you’re into folk, roots, or singer‑songwriter styles, it’s one of the most inspiring guitars in its class.
