Julien Bergeron, luthier L'ours qui voulait dormir - l'automne 2023 - Autumn leaves

This is litterally a playable work of art.

This electric guitar is the bear,

the Autumn Bear.

A prompt gust in the wind, and the leaves roll in the wind as the tired bear walks by, looking for the last green shoots, the last dried fruit, a shelter to sleep in.

This Oeuvre is a testament to life passing, to time evanescent, to the beauty in chaos.

A reminder that you can make it through the harshest of moments, but you need a little bit of preparation!

And like the bear in autumn it will let you feel the cold days have arrived - thanks to its' "vintage-hot" bridge pickup - the Peacemaker... but the heat, still isn't too far! As the sun pierces the grey clouds to shine down on the fallen Autumn Leaves, as portrayed by L'Automne-s' neck pickup - a powerful, fat toned Supermassive.

Both pickups are wired through dedicated volume pots (and no switch) to let you access the full range of it's organic voices.

More than anything, this beast is looking to pair with your soul.

Yes, these are real tree leaves.

Yess they will age as you play, just like the old finishes of yesteryear.

Yesss, they are solid enough that you can touch them and carry the guitar in a case.

And yessss, there are 7 polepieces for 6 strings. This defocuses the middle strings to fuzzy-out the response. This guitar is tired, remember!

Even the tuners look sleepy!
