Thanks for cover. Already got a LePatrie Nylon , but looking for buy a thin-acoustic for the stage and recording. Definitely make me interest in it after your review.

[@nicolaykhmirov337]

Thank ! For a high-quality review with high-quality sound!

[@jacquesd5781]

Cool review, I've been shopping for a good budget-friendly electro-classical guitar, and my heart has settled for the Arena Mahogany CW QIT. Beautiful guitar and I love the sound coming from the electronics. Some have mentioned an unevenness in string volumes, but most seem to be ok from what I see. I found a few used ones that I will try out. Fingers crossed, wish me luck! :)

Hello, What do you think about Alhambra classical guitar cutaway 3 c ct e1 a6856? Is it better than this Godin model? Thank u

[@miguela1430]

Could you let me know what is your experience playing with the guitar unplugged?

[@pjakobsen]

Fantastic playing.

[@Tune4media]

Thank you very much!

[@cwsgershwin]

Nice playing and demo, How would you rate that neck, thicker or thinner? Thanks

[@Tune4media]

cwsgershwin Thank you, I would say it feels a bit thicker than a typical Spanish classical guitar. But not dramatically different.

[@kylemundt4944]

I’m just looking for something comfortable to play at home, maybe with friends and family from time to time. Do you think the tone and volume unplugged would be good enough for that? If the “mic input” section is the acoustic sound, it actually sounds pretty good to me

[@Tune4media]

Besides from lacking some bass if compared to a full body classical guitar, the tonal quality of this instrument is beautiful and the volume is more or less equal to a traditional guitar

[@kylemundt4944]

tune4media thanks for the reply. I’m considering this and a Taylor academy nylon. Can’t get my hands on one of these in store but it looks more comfy with the cutaway and thin body

[@Cloydfunk]

Also, what strings do you prefer on your Arena? Thank you.

[@Tune4media]

My personal preference is D'addario Pro Arte

[@ol.gp.4031]

Nice cover version!

[@perrypound7919]

What is the action like? I am seriously considering ordering one, but all the new classical guitars seem to all have high action, I havent seen one of these in person. Thanks for a response.

[@Tune4media]

I have another traditional Spanish 'Admira' guitar, and when I compare the two, it feels like the LaPatrie is a bit lower than the Admira.

[@gotem7749]

Great video just picked up that model and am very happy with it. Anybody know what that song is called, I would love to learn it.

[@Tune4media]

Congrats :) The song is called 'When You Wish Upon a Star'

Could you let me know what is your experience playing with the guitar unplugged?

[@gotem7749]

@@miguela1430 its great, don't really use it plugged in cause it sounds so good!

[@miguela1430]

@@gotem7749 Thank you very much for the reply. I had doubts about the volume and the sound of them without using an amplifier, but then you tell me that it sounds good that way too? I ask because in all the videos it is amplified.

[@gotem7749]

@@miguela1430 no worries, ya i was blown away from the sound the first time I played it unplugged.

[@Gacdem00]

How to use or set the Q2T pickup ? Or manual?

[@Cloydfunk]

How does the tone and projection of this guitar compare to the LaPatrie Presentation or Collection?

[@Tune4media]

I honestly don't know. What I can say is that relative to a typical classical guitar, it has a pretty bright and well-defined tone, it has pretty decent volume but lacks some low-end (if played acoustically)

[@omikenobi]

Can you comment on the playability of this guitar? How is the action at higher frets?

[@Tune4media]

If I will dig deep enough, I think I could say that it feels a bit lower than a traditional setup, but it's very well balanced and it feels great.

[@Cloydfunk]

Does this model have the Q1 electronics or the Crescent II system? Which one would you recommend? Thank you for a great review.

[@Tune4media]

Thank you! It comes with the Q1. I don't have experience with the Crescent II so I can't compare them. I can, however, say that this is one of the nicest pickups I ever played.

[@blanchedesmas]

This one or the YAMAHA NTX700?

[@decibelsanchez]

Hi, sir. I hope you're still active. How about it's durability?

[@Tune4media]

Still active :) I'm playing this guitar on a weekly basis gig for more than a year now and it's still holding really well. The build quality is pretty good (As expected from anything that has a connection to Godin)

[@decibelsanchez]

@@Tune4media May I know how much did you bought it?

[@Tune4media]

@@decibelsanchez Bought it in Jan 2018, cost me around 600$

[@decibelsanchez]

@@Tune4media thank you sir

[@giovaniross3994]

@@Tune4media US $600 ? Thanks

[@Yess491]

What song did he cover in the beginning

[@Tune4media]

When You Wish Upon a Star

[@blanchedesmas]

Good for small hands?

[@Tune4media]

Not particularly, it's a normal/standard size guitar

[@vasilismaroulis1432]

Is this neck-heavy? Does it neck dive?

[@Tune4media]

If being picky about it, to me it does feel like there's a bit imbalanced neck to body relationship, but honestly, it feels so small to me that it's pretty much insignificant

[@vasilismaroulis1432]

Ok, thank you very much for the reply I'm very picky about imbalanced guitars so I'll have a second thought about this one

[@Tune4media]

[@fluidever]

DUDE!!!! la patrie is not a Company .... GODIN is the company who have several brand as La patrie/Seagull/Art & Lutherie/Godin guitars

[@Tune4media]

Maybe you're right. My guess is that LaPatrie is one of Godin's subsidiaries (which of course still makes it a company) In LaPatrie's website there isn't a place where Godin is mentioned (not that I can find) but on the guitar itself they wrote 'part of the Godin family', so to be honest, I don't really know their legal status. For the end-costumer, it looks like a 30+ years old company that has some type of cooperation with the bigger and well known Godin.

[@multipipi1234]

Dude is a guitar company in the old Danelaw parts of the UK.

You're so handsome men!
