The Godin nylon classical guitars, previously known as LaPatrie, are named after the village in Quebec in which luthiers have been hand crafting guitars for over 30 years. Like any Godin product, the materials used on these classical nylon guitars are second to none. Their solid tops comes from fallen trees with an average age of 800 years and every single one is pressure tested for maximum resonance. They are then finished with a custom 19th century-inspired polish, allowing the woods to breath and naturally age into a better sounding instrument as they are played. LaPatrie's guitars are also made with an eye toward the future, implementing a dual action truss rod into each of their carved Honduran Mahogany necks, providing modern stability in an instrument crafted with classical techniques. Godin nylon guitars will change the way you look at classical instruments. They are elegant and traditional without a hint of pretension. Whether you are a classical aficionado or nylon newcomer, these will excite and engage you.
