The Etude from La Patrie Guitars is a nylon-string classical acoustic guitar made with a select pressure-tested solid cedar top, a mahogany neck, wild cherry back and sides, and a natural, custom-polished, semi-gloss finish. The guitar's feather-light finish allows the wood to vibrate freely, offering a wide dynamic range, and a harmonically rich sound that improves with age.
The Etude features a set-in neck with a 2" nut width and a double-function truss rod system that bends in both directions, providing control over the neck and allowing for accurate adjustments, whether it is under-bowed or over-bowed. Additional features include an Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, cream binding, as well as a Tusq nut and compensated saddle by Graph Tech, which enables the guitar to play in tune all over the neck.

This guitar was recently restrung and set-up by our expert techs and is a wonderful player despite its many cosmetic flaws. The top, back and sides have numerous dents and scratches. The semi-gloss finish has been buffed to gloss in some areas due to playwear. This package is complete with a Yamaha Soft Shell Case.
