La Patrie Gig Bag Classical Review

La Patrie Gig Bag Classical Feature

quality gig bag
flexible PVC inserted into sides for extra protection
embroidered logo
storage compartments with zippers

Classical/Folk sized gig bag

Nifty Guitar Tote - J. Price - Los Angeles
This gig bag is very attractive and very well-made. It has a very nice pouch for stashing the things you need to bring with you, tuner, music, etc. The handle and shoulder straps are very comfortable and it is good protection for your instrument. But it is a very snug fit for my LaPatrie acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar -- the guitar I believe it was made for -- so allow time for packing up because you to put a little effort into placing the guitar do before closing the bag.

La Patrie Guitar, Concert CW

La Patrie Guitar, Concert CW Review

I love this guitar. It has beautiful sound as well as beautiful construction. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone wanting an inexpensive instrument. I did have to adjust the truss rod (best to get someone experienced to do this) because of some buzzing on the 4th and 5th strings. Other than that and hydrating the guitar with my oasis system it was ready to go. Great find!

Good value but needed work - C. Ramsey - Kauai
Nice little inexpensive classical with a cut away and no electronics. Great neck an and overall (outside) the finish was good. The only downside was the saddle was set way too high. Easy repair as it it pops out and can be shaved to lower. Nut was fine.

La Patrie Std V1052 Case Compact Version

La Patrie Std V1052 Case Compact Version Review

See more picture

I recently bought a Seagull Coastline Cedar Grand, and I got a Tric case for it. I soon discovered the Tric case wasn't for me, so I contacted Godin they told me La Patrie Std V1052 case is the one that fits my guitar so I bought it. It's a solidly built wood case with black skin, nice locks including one at the back, and soft grey plush interior that includes a spot to put extra strings, capos, etc. This isn't a flight case, but it's great for home, local gigs and car use - anywhere you would use a regular hard case.

The case is made to fit the 14 fret Godin parlor guitars like the Seagull Coastline Grand and the Art and Lutherie Ami, and it fits very well. If you shake the case, the guitar doesn't move. I'm not sure if this case would fit the 12 fret guitars, but Godin support is very quick when it comes to answering questions via email.

A couple things worth mentioning: First the case doesn't lock, although it does have a place to put a padlock. This is why I gave it a 4, but would have given it a 4.5 if that had been possible. The other thing is that I gather the Tric case protects guitars better from extreme cold, so if you live where it snows and take your guitar out regularly, the Tric case might be better for you.

I'm very happy I got the La Patrie V1052 hard case for my guitar, and definitely recommend it to anyone who owns one of the parlors it's made for.
