DISC La Patrie Concert CW Q1 Electro Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Solid Cedar Top

The La Patrie Concert features a stunning select pressure tested solid cedar top. This manufacturing process of pressure testing each solid top, ensures the highest levels of stiffness and rigidity along with maximum harmonic vibration. This process is becoming more and more popular with guitar manufacturing as it benefits the overall tone, projection and resonance of a guitar. It is this combination of quality, rigidity and flexibility that gives the top its resonance and appearance.

The La Patrie Concert is also environmentally friendly, as the wood used for the top is found only in Cedar trees that have previously fallen. This particular wood is well know for its distinctive straight grain, and red-brown tones. It is a particular common choice for finger-style players.

Custom Polish For a Custom Appearance

Like all guitars in La Patrie series, the Concert features a stunning custom polished finish, which is inspired by the appearance of French polish of the 19th Century. Rather than featuring a thick coat of polish like standard classical guitars, the Concert's custom polish is thinner and allows the top not only to be protected, but also to breathe and vibrate freely. This type of finish also ensures the sound gets better with age, and makes a worthwhile investment.

Cutaway Design

The cutaway is a popular feature on many guitars and consists of a indentation in the upper bout of the body. Its function is to simply allow easier access to the higher frets, thus providing you with more freedom around the fingerboard.

Innovative Double Function Truss Rod

As well as featuring a stunning body that resonates well, the Concert also features an innovative double-function truss rod system within its mahogany neck. Truss rods are never normally featured on classical guitars and have always been made with thick neck dimensions, yet its function on the concert allows for a slimmer neck profile. This clever truss rod system offers extraordinary comfort, while increasing stability.

Electronics

As well as featuring a fully resonant body, La Patrie Concert is also equipped with Quantum l electronics. This streamlined technology features a responsive saddle-transducer and an easy to use preamp section with a metal sidemount. Operating this preamp is simple using the rotary controls for volume, treble and bass to tweak your tone. In combination with the transducer, the EQ control range and frequency content have been specifically contoured to provide a very rich and full sound reproduction resulting in great performance.

Attention to Detail

A beautiful guitar wouldn't be complete without the final touches. The Concert is nicely finished off with an intricate rosette, cream binding, rosewood fingerboard and bridge as well as a cream Tusq nut and a fully compensated saddle by Graphtech.
