This is a Folk Model from the Showcase range, which is the S&P top of the line range and cost £999 or more new.

It has a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and is a comfortable full scale, smaller bodied acoustic similar to a Martin 000 or OM shape.

Set up great, very low action, easy to play and with a lovely tone which is direct, balanced and with great response.

It's in great condition, there are some [u]very minor[/u] marks and knocks on the guitar, nothing major, just little signs of use over the past 10 years or so. Structurally the guitar is perfect including the neck, truss rod and bracing.

It has a hard case, one of the 2 zips is broken and would need fixing, the case still works well enough to protect the guitar for transit. I can also include a gig bag.

[font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif][size=4]Shipping is not a problem, I have a decent Martin box ready to go, though it won't also include the gig bag due to space.[/size][/font]

The S&P Showcase guitars are the upper echelon of the entire line. Superbly crafted in a separate, secluded acoustic studio where each guitar can be individually & meticulously crafted by a handful of the finest luthiers in the business. Being artists in their own right, these luthiers devote much time and attention to every aspect in the process of building these high-end guitars. Both the look and more importantly the sound of these fine instruments are brought to fruition by the passion and artistry of the luthiers who lend their craftsmanship to each guitar.

The Showcase models are some of the best acoustic guitars we have ever built. Featuring only the highest grade of Select Pressure Tested solid spruce tops which are tuned and supported by the strong, yet extra-light, Adirondack spruce bracing to achieve an exceptionally dynamic response. The Showcase bodies are complemented by the sound and look of the finest solid wood back & sides and then finished with a high-gloss Custom Polished finish. The mahogany necks are sanded and finished by hand to provide remarkable comfort and playability up and down the rosewood fingerboard. The classic aesthetic beauty of these acoustic guitars are accentuated by the intricate wood rosette, natural wood binding, high-ratio gold plated tuners with cream buttons, deluxe Tusq bridge pins by Graphtech and the hand contoured high-gloss headstocks.
Each Simon & Patrick Showcase guitar includes the revolutionary TRIC case [/b][/size][/font]

I've got one of these, absolutely superb sounding guitars and beautifully built. I tried absolutely loads of different acoustics before settling on one of these, Martin included. Whoever buys this will be well pleased. Have a bump.
