Godin Review: La Patrie

History:

Purchase: I got this particular guitar after having my first elec-Classical stolen. I bought my "la patrie" in Irving, Tx at Murphy's Music. I paid somewhere around $450 w/case. I used my La Patrie on my second CD and it will be my guitar of choice from now on.

What I Like About This Godin La Patrie: I like everything about this guitar for the price I paid for it. I especially like the built-in pre-amp. I still have folks come up to me at gigs saying how they like the sound of the guitar and I totally attribute it to the pre-amp! The guitar is well crafted, solid from head to toe and is just easy to play. Also, recording the "la patrie" is also a joy!! I am currently recording my 3rd CD and all I am using is 1 mic, my "la patrie", my headphones and my 8-track recorder!!

What I Do NOT Like About The Godin La Patrie: Nothing I don't like about it.

Godin La Patrie Quality Rating: For the money, it is a good deal. I have played other guitars and nothing feels like mine. Where other guitars sound 'tinny,' my La Patrie has bottom end and having been a bass player for 10 years before going solo as a singer/songwriter, I couldn't write songs with a guitar that lacked a bottom end so that's on of my personal fav's about it!

Review Summary: Economical,Sturdy,Solid,Great tone, Electronics are the best! Godin Rocks!!
