All Cedar and Spruce models feature pressure tested solid tops to ensure the highest levels of stiffness and rigidity along with maximum harmonic vibration. This benefits the overall tone and projection of these instruments. The finish on each A&L acoustic guitar is a Custom Varnish Finish, giving a satin sheen to semi-gloss models and a lustrous shine to gloss top (GT) models. This Custom Varnish Finish also allows the solid tops to breathe and vibrate freely allowing for the important “aging “ process to take affect. This “aging” process means that every solid top A&L guitar will sound increasingly better the more it is played over time. All Art & Lutherie guitars also include the new Integrated Set Neck system, adding extra resistance and reinforcement to the crucial area where the body and top meet the neck. The Integrated Set Neck system allows for more consistent and stable action while significantly reducing warping and twisting of the neck, largely attributed to changes in climate.

The full size body of the Art & Lutherie acoustic dreadnaught models offer a tight & warm bottom end, as well as responsive mid-range tones. From full-on strumming to intimate fingerstyle playing, the A&L dreadnaught gives the player a palette of genuine acoustic tones and a range of musical possibilities.
