I have had this guitar for about six weeks or so now, and have played it for dozens of hours. I could not possibly be happier with this purchase.This guitar is solidly built, and the finish is absolutely flawless. Going over every square inch of the entire surface of the guitar, there is not a single flaw in the finish. There is no stain used on any of the wood, just the multi-coat gloss lacquer finish that brings out the natural wood color and tone, and gives the beautiful mahogany of the sides and back a deep translucent appearance, in the wood's natural color. The inlaid rosette is a tasteful design, with just a touch of a maroon red color that lends a subtle but very nice touch. The cedar top is as light in color as a typical spruce top, but should take on a vintage amber tone as it ages naturally under the lacquer.The guitar projects a powerful and resonant, yet mellow, tone. Resounding bass tones, ringing trebles. Plenty of natural resonant volume. As constructed, the neck sights in perfectly to the very top of the bridge. People can watch a video tour of the La Patrie factory here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXGV31hOYhs , led by Robert Godin himself. One segment of the video shows how the necks are set at a precision angle for precision alignment with the bridge. This perfect neck angle alignment leaves plenty of room to adjust the guitar's action to the player's taste and style.I took the guitar to my local luthier, a very experienced man named David Dick, who owns and runs D-String Guitar Repair in Sturbridge, Mass. Dave is a highly talented musician in his own right, on both banjo and guitar, is an extremely talented song writer as well, and has over 25 years experience working on stringed instruments. He filed the nut slots down just a bit, and took a little off the saddle, slightly adjusted the truss rod, and for his modest $35 set up fee for these minor adjustments, the guitar "plays like butter". The action is low and dead solid perfect, and no matter how aggressively one hits the strings, there's no trace of fret buzz to be heard.The guitar required no other set up. The frets are smooth and well fitted, with no sharp edges.I like the slight (24") radius on the fretboard a lot. It makes barred chords much easier to play than on the flat fretboard of a typical classical, especially with this guitar's adjusted low action. The full 2" width classical neck width can be much easier to play for people with large hands and fingers (like me), although for people with small hands it might be a more challenging reach than the narrower neck of a steel string guitar, (or a crossover style nylon, with a 1 and 7/8" neck width). The back of the neck has a smooth matte finish, with produces nearly zero friction as one's hand moves up and down the fingerboard.I was shopping for an all solid wood, (no laminate), guitar when I began reading about this solid mahogany back and sides, and solid cedar top, La Patrie. The other guitars I had been narrowing my sights down to were the Yamaha, at $1000, the Cordoba, also at $1000, and a Takamine, at about $1200. Before I found this La Patrie, that appeared to be the entry level price point for an all solid wood guitar with on board electrics. At just over $650, this all solid wood La Patrie guitar is just an incredible bargain. It is every bit the guitar as those more expensive guitars, in terms of solid quality build and finish, and quality of sound and tone.The pre-amplifier on this guitar puts out a very strong (high volume) signal. I have another classical guitar with a Bband A3T pre-amp. When that guitar is plugged into my amp at full volume setting on the guitar pre-amp, it is not nearly as loud as the La Patrie at a lower volume setting on the guitar's Godin pre-amp, (with the volume setting on the amp itself set the same). The molded and tastefully styled matte gold colored solid metal trim of the pre-amp is much less obtrusive, much more attractive, than the clunky looking black plastic trim on other on board guitar pre-amps, even on the above mentioned $1000+ guitars that compare with this La Patrie. The sound quality of the electrics, played through my Marshall As50d acoustic amp, is very good. The on board tuner works very well.My one and only complaint is that this Concert CW Q1 guitar came fitted with a brass neck strap lug on the curve of the upper bout, close to where the neck joins the body. Since I never play standing up, and therefore never use a strap, I would have much preferred that the strap lug would have been provided with the guitar, but not installed. I actually removed it. It's fastened with a single small wood screw to a brace inside the body. Removing it has left a small hole, of course, in the body of the guitar. For the minority of players who might play this guitar standing up with a strap, installing the lug would have been a very easy job. The small hole that I now have to live with, (or I could just re-install the brass lug, of course), is unobtrusive, but I know it's there, and therefore always see it. I suppose over time I'll forget about it. (see pics of lug, and hole after lug removed). If it keeps 'bugging' me, I might get a small solid brass screw just to fill the hole.I would certainly recommend this La Patrie guitar to anyone looking for a high quality nylon string guitar. I just can't believe that anyone would be disappointed with this wonderful instrument.
