You're in luck; my top of the line make/model is in stock! Hey, maybe that means I'm in luck!

I have a LaPatrie Concert and a Washburn C80 in stock for full size instruments, and I have a LaPatrie Motif in stock too. It's kind of like a travel sized classical guitar with a full size neck and scale on a parlor body. The sibling to the Motif is the Art & Lutherie Ami nylon and I have that too. It has a slightly less than standard nut width however. Classicals have a 2" nut width and the Ami nylon is 1 15/16" I think.

All of these instruments feature a solid cedar top. The Washburn has a polyurethane finish and the others have lacquer. The Washburn is made in China and the others by the Godin company in Canada. My resident classical dudes tell me, having never seen/played a LaPatrie before, that they are absolute value bargins for the price/instrument ratio. To quote one, who is a classical teacher and getting his BFA in classical guitar at the local conservatory, in reference to a student who passed up a Motif for a Cort AC-15 guitar, "Well, the Motif might be $80 more but it's 20 times the instrument than the Cort." I happen to like the Cort; it has a razor thin neck profile, and I've also sold a good share of Walden classicals but I don't have any in stock right now. Gimme a buzz and come on down!

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
