Description
The Hybrid CW QII from La Patrie blends the elements of classical guitars with modern features to make for one of their most exciting instruments in both sound and functionality. The gloss black finish, in-body electronic tuner, and cutaway body shape make the Hybrid CW QII stand out from your average classical guitar. Add in acoustic-electric capability, and you have one of the most versatile classical guitars you’ll ever lay your hands on. Besides the modern additions, this guitar has plenty of hearty classical tone to go around. The solid cedar top is pressure tested for maximum performance so you can squeeze every last ounce of sustain from it as well as from the mahogany back and sides. A radiused rosewood fingerboard makes it easy to play and smooth on your fingers. The Hybrid is a melting pot of classical vibe and modern accompaniments that will leave you in awe of its tone, look, and functionality alike.
A high quality TRIC case comes with this guitar. The TRIC case is heavily padded, giving your guitar excellent protection.
The exceptional benefits of 800 year-old wood
The wood used in these tops can be found only in previously fallen cedar trees that have an average age of about 800 years or more. This wood features a tight straight grain, which produces greater rigidity while at the same time is flexible across the grain lines. This makes the La Patrie unique in terms of its gorgeous tone.
La Patrie custom polished finish
La Patrie guitars also feature a custom polished finish, similar to the French polish of the 19th Century. This finish allows the top not only to be protected but also to breathe and vibrate freely allowing the “aging” process to take its course. This “aging” process means that every La Patrie guitar will actually sound better and better the more it’s played over time.
Classics that are comfortable to play
Classical guitars of the past have typically been made with thick neck dimensions; while this enhanced the neck's stability, it often made playing more difficult. Because of this, special attention was directed to the neck design of the LaPatrie guitars. Neck width and string spacing conform to classical standards, but La Patrie's truss rod system allows the profile of the neck to be reduced which produces a neck of extraordinary comfort, while increasing its stability. The LaPatrie necks are carved from Honduras mahogany.
