La Patrie Presentation Nylon String Classical Acoustic Guitar

The La Patrie Presentation Nylon String Classical Acoustic Guitar's back & sides are made of solid rosewood. Rosewood is a tone-wood of exceptional response and projection. A solid cedar top and semi-gloss Custom Polished finish round out the package.

Pressure tested Solid Cedar Tops:

All La Patrie guitars feature select pressure tested solid cedar tops. Graded and tested for their excellence and structural integrity, this method of pressure testing each solid top ensures the highest levels of stiffness and rigidity along with maximum harmonic vibration. This benefits the overall tone, projection and resonance of these finely crafted instruments. The wood used in these tops can be found only in previously fallen cedar trees that have an average age of about 800 years. Characteristically speaking, this wood features a tight straight grain, which produces greater rigidity while at the same time is flexible across the grain lines.

Custom Polished Finish:

La Patrie guitars also feature a Custom Polished finish, which is reminiscent of the French polish of the 19th Century. This Custom Polished Finish, as opposed to "thick" polyester finishes, allows the top not only to be protected but also to breathe and vibrate freely allowing the effective and very important "aging" process to take its course. This "aging" process means that every La Patrie acoustic guitar will actually sound better and better the more it’s played over time.

Honduras Mahogany Neck:

The necks on La Patrie… read more guitars are carved from Honduras mahogany and feature an innovative double-function truss rod system not generally found in traditional classical guitars. This system allows the profile of the neck to be reduced producing a neck of extraordinary comfort, while increasing stability.
