Select Category SIMON & PATRICK Instruments currently built in La Patrie, Quebec, Canada since 1985. Distributed by Godin Guitars (previously La Si Do, Inc.) in Baie D'Urfe Quebec, Canada. Robert Godin set up a custom guitar shop in Montreal called Harmonilab in 1968. Harmonilab quickly became known for its excellent work and musicians were coming from as far away as Quebec City to have their guitars adjusted. Although Harmonilab´s business was flourishing, Robert was full of ideas for the design and construction of acoustic guitars.

So in 1972 the Norman Guitar Company was born. From the beginning the Norman guitars showed signs of the innovations that Godin would eventually bring to the guitar market. Kutmasta Kurt Masters Of Illusion Rarest. By 1978 Norman guitars had become quite successful in Canada and France. In 1980 Godin introduced the Seagull guitar.

SERIAL NUMBER 4083219. Simon and Patrick model s&p-6 acoustic guitar. This is a nice guitar with a nice full tone in my opinion. For sale: Simon and Patrick Songsmith Folk acoustic guitar in unblemished cosmetic condition and full working order. A receipt with the serial number is.

With many innovations like a bolt-on neck, pointed headstock and a handmade solid top, the Seagull was designed for an ease of play for the entry level to intermediate guitar player. Godin borrowed the finishing idea that was used on fine violins (a satin-finish lacquer), and applied it to the acoustic guitar.

Acceptance of this new guitar spread, and by 1985 La Si Do was incorporated and the factory in La Patrie expanded to meet the growing demand. In 1985 Godin introduced the Simon & Patrick line (named after his two sons) for people interested in a more traditional instrument. Simon & Patrick guitars still maintained a number of Seagull innovations. For full company history, see Godin.

So i know the company andbown one of their guitars which was given to me. I love this guitar, best acoystic i have ever, will ever play. I love its slightly beaton look.

Will post photos maybe tomorrow. My point is, does anyone know anything about their older guitars.

Mine is a W.C delux which has schaller tuners and an inbuilt preamp. It is about 25-30 years old( not exactly sure but) i guess i just want to know more about it. I know there hanmade in canada but want to know exaxtly when it was made, etc. Will post its serial and photo in the next few days, if that would help. Having lived in Indonesia for a few years now, a Simon and Patrick is about as good a guitar as you will find (although there is a Taylor shop in Jakarta) but I would encourage you to try a high end guitar when you have the chance. You may re-evaluate your best guitar ever judgement. Simon and Patrick are factory made (not hand made) in Canada and are excellent guitars for the money.

In fact, I think pretty much all the Godin brands are great. IIRC your guitar has a cedar top and laminated mahogany back and sides. Personally, I like spruce tops on steel string guitars but I know there are lots of people that like cedar. (I like cedar on nylon strings) I think they are good guitars for strumming and fingerpicking but find they don't have enough drive for flatpicking and bluegrass (my favourite acoustic guitar genres). From the factory they came with a plastic nut and saddle and replacing those with bone helps the tone a bit and a good luthier can change the break angle over the strings at the saddle which is often a little shallow.

The pickup system works but wasn't as good as Takamines from the same era. Enjoy the guitar - it's a goodun. Dvd Scorpions Moment Of Glory Download .avi on this page. Mine is also a satin finish and the top seems kind of unfinished as it scratches and dents and chips super easy. On the guitar it clearly states handmade in canada. Which led me to believe it was. And just so you guts know i didnt get this in indonesia. I got it from an older man in australia who i think got in eithet cabada or america.

Ill check the serial when i get home to see what year it is. Also on the best guitar ive ever played thing. I might play a better one in the future, but i doubt it. The best aciustic i could afford to buy would be nothing more than a cort or a bottom line takamine. And for some reason, i just live the feel of a guitar that has been played for years and worn out.
