{"product_id":"wild-cherry-6-string-acoustic-black-used","title":"Art \u0026 Lutherie Wild Cherry Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Black Used","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Canadian-Made Classic with Character to Spare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt \u0026amp; Lutherie has been quietly building some of the best-value acoustic guitars in North America for decades, crafting each instrument by hand in Princeville, Québec under the same roof as Godin, Seagull, and La Patrie. The Wild Cherry model is one of the guitars that put them on the map — a straightforward dreadnought built with Canadian tonewoods, a satin black finish that still turns heads, and playability that makes it easy to pick up and stay up late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Art \u0026amp; Lutherie Wild Cherry's Condition is Very Good. A Few small dings on the top, back, and sides of guitar noted. No case or gig bag is included with this guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWild Cherry Top, Back \u0026amp; Sides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wild Cherry model is named for what's inside it: the top, back, and sides are all built from laminated wild cherry — a Canadian tonewood that Art \u0026amp; Lutherie has championed as an eco-friendly alternative to more common imported woods. Wild cherry sits tonally somewhere between the warmth of mahogany and the brightness of maple, giving this guitar a balanced, present voice that works well for strumming and lighter fingerpicking alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-layer laminated construction is built for durability — these guitars hold up well to changes in humidity and temperature, which matters if your instrument lives in a car, a rehearsal space, or anywhere that isn't climate-controlled. The satin black finish gives it a subtly worn, characterful look without being flashy about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Neck That Stays Put\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver leaf maple neck is another Canadian tonewood choice that Art \u0026amp; Lutherie favors for its stability and tonal characteristics similar to mahogany. It's paired with a rosewood fingerboard and bridges, and the TUSQ nut and saddle (by Graphtech) are a nice upgrade from the plastic hardware you'd expect at this price point — TUSQ is known for consistent string transfer and self-lubricating properties that help tuning stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24.84\" scale length falls right between a Gibson-style short scale and a standard Fender-style long scale, keeping string tension comfortable without going too loose. The 1.72\" nut width is on the slimmer side for an acoustic, which tends to suit players coming from electric guitars or those with smaller hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Dreadnought Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full-size dreadnought shape is Art \u0026amp; Lutherie's bread and butter for a reason — it projects well, handles open chords with authority, and gives you a sound that fills a room. Whether you're playing around a campfire, running through chord progressions at home, or just keeping an acoustic in the corner for when the mood strikes, the Wild Cherry dreadnought is an honest, no-frills instrument that delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt \u0026amp; Lutherie also built these guitars with an Integrated Set Neck system, which adds reinforcement at the neck joint for more consistent action and better resistance to climate-related warping over time. For a used guitar, that's a meaningful detail — it means the neck joint has been designed to stay stable for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-size dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop\/Back\/Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laminated wild cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver leaf maple with Integrated Set Neck system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard \u0026amp; Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e TUSQ by Graphtech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.84\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.72\" (43.6mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Princeville, Québec, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a used acoustic guitar from our inventory.
