This guitar is a masterpiece. There, we said it.
There's really no other way to describe this Parisienne model from British Columbia-based master luthier, Scott Heatley.
"A masterpiece, eh? That's pretty bold language there guitar fella."
Sure, we get why you'd say that. So why do we consider it a masterpiece? World-class craftsmanship, gorgeous design work, flawless execution, and vibe. The Parisienne is at once beautiful, and most importantly, has a ton of soul and character. It's this blend of vision, execution, and detail - dig in on the pics if you haven't already - crossed with a truly inspiring and musical instrument that make it a masterpiece for us. Imagine this guitar in 50 years time, after living a long musical life - how beautiful is this thing gonna be? Stunning.
But what you can't tell from pics is how this guitar feels in hand - what is it like to play? In a word? Incredible. It's lightweight (7lbs) and has elements of, say, a Les Paul Special, though the Parisienne is more refined and elegant. Combined with its flawless fretwork, this Parisienne is incredibly easy, and really fun, to play.
Plugged in? Exactly what you'd expect, and want, from a Wolfetone P90 loaded mahogany body/maple cap, mahogany neck, short-scale guitar - killer midrange chime and muscle coupled with a sweet and articulate top-end. Clean? Gorgeous. Overdriven? Muscular, punchy....this guitar can cover quite a bit of ground and will have you looking damned good in the process.
World-class craftsmanship, gorgeous design work, flawless execution, and vibe. Scott's work is at once beautiful, and most importantly, has a ton of soul and character. Not to be missed!
