Art and Lutherie Guitars: You should enjoy your first guitar playing experience instead of becoming discouraged by an instrument that is difficult to play.
It was with this in mind that Godin Guitar Company President & Founder, Robert Godin, set about designing a line of entry-level acoustic guitars that would bring the key attributes of pro quality guitars within the reach of novice players. Most entry-level guitars are made with an emphasis on how they look, which is fine unless it is accomplished at the expense of how the guitar sounds and feels. For example, A&L guitars are finished with genuine lacquer. This special finish is applied over a four-day process that leaves a thin coating that protects the wood without inhibiting vibration. The thick plastic finishes found on other entry level guitars are the result of a one-shot spray technique that smothers the wood and the sound along with it. And, it doesn't stop with the finish. A&L guitars are made using many of the same tolerances and techniques as those of Godin's world-renowned Seagull guitars.
Precise neck pitch, fully compensated saddles, high ratio tuners, pro-quality set-ups and playability are all features that make the A&L guitars fun to play.

David Daily Guitars:
have been building guitars for over twenty years. In that time I have built over three hundred instruments. Like most Americans who embark on building guitars, I began with a little idea of what a good guitar was. My best assets were bulldog-like stubbornness and an open mind. Over a period of about fifteen years I developed an idea of the guitar I would like to build, and with the help of other woodworkers I learned to use the tools of the trade ...
