Benoit Lavoie #168 Handmade Acoustic Guitar 2017 - Ebony Fingerboard, Natural

*Brand New Instrument in Pristine Condition!
**Handmade Instrument by Petit Saguenay Luthier Based in Quebec, Canada!!

Handmade instrument by local luthier in Quebec, Benoît Lavoie. This is his 168th guitar, hence the model number. Unique instrument crafted with the utmost precision and premium materials, offering refined looks and rich sonorities for the most demanding players. Special features include an arm rest for more comfort, a soundhole on the side of the upper bout for great sound return to the player, a torrefied Adirondack Spruce top on Flamed Macacauba Back & Sides, as well as Gotoh 510 tuners with 18 : 1 ratio for precise tuning. The guitar had a small crack on the top of the soundboard, to the right of the neck near the shoulder. It was repaired by Antoine Lacasse, a professional luthier (second-to-last photo).
