For sale is a very nice Canadian-made La Patrie Motif parlor sized classical guitar in excellent condition. Other than some imperfections/scuffs on the headstock (see picture), the overall condition of the guitar - including the top, back, and sides - is like new. The guitar has been gently used only occasionally since purchasing and kept in its La Patrie branded padded gig bag when not in use. It has a solid cedar top with Canadian wild cherry back and sides with beautiful color and wood grain. It features a nice butterfly rosette pattern around the sound hole. It was restrung not long ago with new D'Addario Pro-Arte Classical Guitar strings (EJ45). The gig bag is included.
La Patrie is/was a subsidiary of Godin guitars. It appears the Motif and other former La Patrie guitars are now marketed under the Godin name.
I would prefer to sell via local pickup, but can ship as well. The shipping cost listed is an estimate using Reverb's shipping estimator tool. Actual shipping to be determined upon sale.
Description (from Godin website):
The Motif takes its compact dimensions from turn-of-the-century parlor guitars. The compact body of the Motif suggests a ¾ size instrument but this is a full-scale guitar. There is more to the compact body style of the Motif than comfort, this is a serious guitar with many of the same features that professional guitarists look for in the best handcrafted instruments. The solid cedar top and Custom Polished finish ensure that this guitar will not only sound great when you first receive it but will actually become better sounding with playing over time.
