OVERVIEW Top-of-the-line in every respect. The Collection Classical Guitar from Canadian guitar maker La Patrie has a solid cedar top. Also features solid Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge with a compensated saddle, 2-tone Silver and black "lyra" style tuner with buttons, and a High Gloss Polished finish. The Collection guitar 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 La Patrie guitar has a beautifully understated appearance that's perfectly complimented by the Collection's exquisite sound and feel.800 Year Old Trees All 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 Finish LaPatrie 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 LaPatrie 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 made certain playing aspects difficult to execute. It is for this reason that special attention was directed to the neck design of the La Patrie guitars. Neck width and string spacing conform to classical standards, but a new truss rod system allows the profile of the neck to be reduced producing a neck of extraordinary comfort, while increasing stability. The La Patrie necks are carved from Honduras mahogany. All La Patrie models feature a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.

At the end of the day, La Patrie follows the policy of quality above anything else as its sister companies. For a guitar sitting comfortably in the lower part of the mid-range, La Patrie collection is a true steal. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a ’ future proof’ guitar, or someone who needs a reliable instrument for gigging, this model is worth checking out. It also comes with the Godin EPM Quantum I.
Godin EPM Quantum I Streamlined, simple and superior sound are just a few words to describe the optional Godin EPM Quantum 1 electronics available on La Patrie guitars.The single source system of the Quantum 1 features an exceptionally responsive saddle-transducer and an efficient, easy to use preamp section with rotary controls for volume, treble and bass to shape your tone.
