Art & Lutherie Ami Cedar

Art and Lutherie AMI, handmade in Canada.
19 frets, body starts at 12th fret.
Solid spruce top. Canadian Wild Cherry body, maple neck.
Parlor guitar body style with sunburst finish.
Comes with a gig bag.

UTILIZATION

What I love most about this guitar is the neck. The whole thing is built quite simple but is very easy to play. This is also probably due to the smaller scale. You can play up to the 12th fret but this guitar really is built to play in the lower regions.
It's parlor body is very ergonomic and is close to being almost too small. This is not a miniature guitar though.

SOUNDS

I really like how this guitar sounds. It fills the room with a sound you would not expect from an instrument in this price category. I also like that it makes you play different things than on normal acoustic guitars. It really shines when playing open chords.
There is not a lot of bass but for me that is not a problem

OVERALL OPINION

I like how simple the design of these guitars is. The gig bag is a nice addition as it comes free of charge. It sounds great and has a unique design in this price range. It is also great for traveling.
Some people might miss the bass a bit and the smaller neck is not for everyone.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought 6 years ago is my acoustic quality APRS Premire 20 years of guitar he silent time! APRs have tried many other, much more Chres, I have chosen to one quarter of the budget that I m'tait Alou.
QualitPrix: perfect, cheap, well made and original
A real guitar for cheap.
No regrets, I bought better but more expensive.
Recommended for beginners and guitarists who want to ring electric rock / blues with no readers. She is colo sr.

Guitar size "parlor", the standard size of 1900 comes the dreadnoughts in 1940: it's a small guitar that looks like a classic by far but is not one! She is fine, the woods are no frills, but especially the construction gives a hallucinatory projection template for this guitar. Couraging a wonderful guitar as the prize is the challenge!
It is manufactured LaPatrie, that Qubec, Canada.
The treble is not accessible trs (junction box 12) but not the point: it is a guitar roots of blues, she shines as picking open tuning and slide!
The rglages are perfect.
The neck profile is fairly flat, highly polished edges. Irrprochable finish, frets wonderful!

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite heavy compared to the weight of the body (lightweight stitching sleeve).
Access in acute is not convenient, but not on the agenda when you want a parlor!
It is lgre, easily transported, and the small padded bag more than correct is a plus.
For cons, I change the strings IMMEDIATE origins that sounded bad in the low rev: Martin 11-52 set of strings of rigor and go! The sound is balanced, sustain INESPRE for this size guitar! Much less than a Dreadnought, but low crystalline, with many rponse in the mid / high. You catch yourself playing on high volume!
Good also notes slide, open-tuning (or Sol R dploie she also its potential!

SOUNDS

I was looking really sound raspy, bluesy, that reminds me of Robert Johnson & co. I am not of the trip!

The only complaint I have is that it is not suitable to trs fluid solos, but it's all relative, is not a one Larrive 1000 !

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks. I tried it in stores thinking they a toy I took a slap! I had all the money and I did not take long to find something to pay me!
It is largely the head Martin Parlor made in Mexico.
The report qualitprix is ​​exceptional.
I would do this choice! Why not finish diffrent!
