[b][size=4]*SOLD* Luthier Simon & Patrick 'Mahogany' Acoustic Guitar[/size][/b]

Some blurb: '[size=4]The process of creating each Simon & Patrick acoustic guitar all starts in the Eastern Townships, just a few hours outside of Montreal in the small village of LaPatrie Quebec, where building guitars isn’t just a job, but a true passion. The luthiers who bring each Simon & Patrick guitar to life are not just guitar builders, but they are also devoted artisans who have a love for their craft. Their enthusiasm for the guitar was engrained by a long lineage of guitar makers, who have passed on their knowledge to guide those in LaPatrie to become some of the finest luthiers in the business.'[/size]

Anyway, this is a Simon & Patrick 'Mahogany' Model acoustic guitar, luthier-built by hand in Canada. Back & Sides are Mahogany. Top is Spruce (Select Pressure-Tested Solid Top). Fingerboard & Bridge are Rosewood. Finish is High-Gloss Custom Polish. Tusq® nut & saddle by Graphtech. This specific model also has tortoiseshell bindings around the top and back (see pics). It's a top-quality item.

The current mrs discreet bought this example in New York about ten years ago for $450. To buy one brand new today would cost you considerably more. Tone-wise, it has a wonderful balance of mellow warmth and dynamic clarity. She used it a while back to accompany her keening and wailing on the folk scene in the unlucky environs of Camden Town. She will miss it and will be very sorry to see it go. She doesn't play or sing much now since that nasty business with the Noise Abatement Society. It comes with a Macari's heavy-duty padded gig bag.

[size=4]Guitar is located in SE London close to the A205 South Circular.[/size]

Alas not in the position to buy it...
