10 Apr 99 - 08:32 AM (#69649) Subject: Info about the Lapatrie guitar From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au 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? Murray |

Rick, They won't be dirt cheap by the time the get here, and our dollar isn't that strong at the moment. Since you must have handled one. Do they differ from (say Spanish) classical guitars in any other way. Murray |
