The Art & Lutherie Roadhouse Electro Acoustic Guitar in Faded Black features a parlor body to produce large sounding tones while being small enough for easy transportation, perfect for travelling musicians. The acoustic guitar's body is crafted from wild cherry back and sides topped with a solid spruce top, offering an excellent harmonic vibration, rich tones, and an enhanced resonance and response. The Art & Lutherie guitar also features Fishman Sonitone electronics, capturing the pure, natural tone for crisp, clean amplification. Designed to offer excellent comfort, an easy playing experience, and great tonal character, the Roudhouse Electro Acoustic is reminiscent of the iconic 'blues boxes' that were used by many travelling musicians.

Parlor Body

The Roadhouse guitar features a parlor body shape, creating a portable instrument that can still produce amazing tones. Although its size is small, the guitar can produce large, deep tones with plenty of depth and warmth, perfect for musicians constantly on the road. The wild cherry back and side panels provide the body with mellow, offering amazing articulation and a beautiful sustain. The combination of the parlor size and cherry tonewood provide the Roadhouse guitar with a deep, full bass and a firm, sparkling treble.

Pressure Tested Solid Spruce Top

The spruce top has been pressure tested to ensure it offers the optimum harmonic vibration and features the highest level of rigidity and stiffness. As a tonewood, the spruce delivers a loud tone with a broad dynamic range, letting you create crisp notes with an immediate articulation of sound. Offering beautiful clarity and a good balance between fundamental and overtone frequencies, the spruce is a perfect all-rounder tonewood that suits a wide range of playing styles.

Fishman Sonitore Electronics

The Art & Lutherie guitar features Fishman’s Sonitone electronics, providing crisp, clean amplification to enhance your playing experience. Designed to sit inside the guitar’s soundhole, the Sonitone faithfully captures the natural tone to be amplified or recorded directly.
