2005 Art & Lutherie Folk Cedar 00/000 Guitar

This Godin-made (ie, Seagull, etc.) guitar is from their budget Art & Lutherie line, but it doesn't sound like a budget guitar. It's punchy, forward, clean, and crisp and really responds well to fingerpicking or bluesier, rootsier flatpicking. It's somewhere in the L-00-style soundscape.

Clearly, this box was played a ton and it has wear and tear to the finish throughout with the "best" part the pickwear around the soundhole and the "worst" part being a Sharpied signature on the lower-bout rear.

After some light, setup-side repairs, it's playing bang-on, has a good tall saddle, and feels good, too. I've been a fan of the practicality and comfort of Seagull guitars for years and the A&Ls are basically the same thing and also made in Canada by the same company.
