The Godin Guitar Company has been making some of the best quality acoustic guitars in North America since 1982. From the small towns of La Patrie and Princeville, Quebec, come Seagull, Norman, and A & L Guitars, which began with the dream of creating guitars that had the components of the best hand-crafted guitars at a price for all working musicians. The dream remains alive today, and we are happy to offer the beauty and quality of Godin Guitars to our customers. You can read more about the company's history of making handcrafted guitars at http://www.godinguitars.com.
At Perry's Music, we think of Art & Lutherie Guitars as the child prodigy of the Godin brand. In an affordable price range, these guitars have a quality that endures and a look that will turn heads.
Art and Lutherie Guitars are handcrafted in the small town of Princeville, Quebec using 95% Canadian wood! Now that's North American! You can read more about how using Canadian wood is eco-friendly and contributes to the warm tone of A & L guitars as well as view more pictures of individual guitars and compare specs on their Web site at http://www.artandlutherieguitars.com/.
We carry A & L Guitars from the $295 price range that are among those we suggest as the "ideal upgrade" for any beginning or intermediate player who has the budget. These guitars look, feel, and play at the same level of most guitars that cost up to three times the price!!!
More recently, we've been featuring an even nicer upgrade for $529.95 that features a solid spruce top and gloss finish on the top and entire body. This upgrade will significantly improve the tone and sound of playing, as the solid wood top will evolve with the vibrations more evenly over time.
