La Patrie Collection Qi Eq 470

La Patrie Collection Qi Eq Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar Natural The Collection QI Classical Guitar from La Patrie has a solid cedar top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge with compensated saddle, 2-tone gold and black lyra style tuners with buttons, Quantum I Electronics, and a semi-gloss satin finish.The Collection combines Indian rosewood back and sides-in this case the back is solid rosewood-with a luthier-grade solid cedar top and high gloss lacquer finish. Built by our most experienced luthiers in the Godin acoustic studio. This guitar is top-of-the-line in every respect. The beautifully understated appearance is perfectly complimented by the Collection’s exquisite sound and feel.800 Year Old TreesAll La Patrie guitars feature solid cedar tops. The wood used in these tops can be found only in cedar trees that have an average age of about 800 years. The tight, straight grain in this wood makes it strong in the direction of the string tension while at the same time flexible across the grain lines. It is this combination of rigidity and flexibility that give the top its resonance. The vibration of the guitar top is the most crucial element of the sound.Lacquer FinishLa Patrie guitars are finished with a special lacquer formula. This finish is light enough to allow the wood to breath and vibrate freely. The tops resonating capacity actually improves as the guitar is played over an extended period of time. This gradual improvement in the response of the top is often referred to as aging. Poly finishes inhibit top vibration and are therefore never used on La Patrie guitars. Many other guitars use a thick plastic finish that smothers top vibration and prevents the benefits of aging.Classics that are comfortable to playClassical guitars of the past have typically been made with thick neck dimensions, while this promoted a certain amount of neck stability, it often mTop: Solid CedarBack & sides: Solid Indian RosewoodNeck: MahoganyFretboard: RosewoodNut width: 2-3/32Bridge: Rosewood w/compensated saddleScale Length: 25-1/2Tuners: 2-tone gold & Black lyra style w/ buttonsFinish: SatinElectronics: Quantum ICase sold separately Guitars, Classical & Nylon Guitars, Acoustic Classical & Nylon Guitars La Patrie 513429.010 470 La Patrie, Acoustic Classical & Nylon Guitars

La Patrie Motif Classical 8858

La Patrie Motif Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural The Motif Classical Guitar from La Patrie has a solid cedar top, laminated mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge with compensated saddle, gold lyra style tuners with pearloid buttons, Quantum I Electronics, and a semi-gloss satin finish.The Motif takes its compact dimensions from turn-of-the-century parlor guitars. This is an excellent instrument for anyone more comfortable with a smaller instrument. The compact body of the Motif suggests a 3/4 size instrument but this is a full-scale guitar. Most children from about six years old can handle the Motif quite comfortably and because they are practicing on a full-scale switching to a full size classical guitar can be accomplished with very little adjustment. There is more to the compact body style of the Motif than comfort, this is a serious guitar with many of the same features that professional guitarists look for in the best handcrafted instruments. The solid cedar top and genuine lacquer finish ensure that this guitar will not only sound great when you first receive it but will actually become better sounding with playing over time. The body is made from a three-way lamination of hardwood that includes a poplar center sandwiched between two layers of mahogany. The Motif neck is made from Honduras mahogany with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Case sold separately.800 Year Old TreesAll LaPatrie guitars feature solid cedar tops.
