I have been reading about the Canadian-made Lapatrie classical guitar in some of the guitar NGs and they sound interesting. Has anyone who owns one or has tried them out an opinion?

As I understand it they are shaped like a classical in every way except they have a narrower profile neck. This is achieved by using a truss rod. It must make the instrument heavier than most classical guitars; but is it appreciably heavier. Is it top heavy?

Does any of the other Aussies know if there is a place in Sydney to see one?
