Simon & Patrick Guitars

For Canadian manufacturer Simon & Patrick building guitars is not just a job, but a true passion. This passion takes place in Eastern Townships, a few hours from Montreal, in the small town of LaPatrie Quebec. More than luthiers, the workers at Simon & Patrick consider themselves devoted artisans who love their craft. This enthusiasm has taken root in a long line of guitar makers, who have passed on their knowledge to guide LaPatrie's to become some of the best luthiers on the market.

Every Simon & Patrick acoustic guitar is made with the utmost focus on sound and quality. And this can be seen in certain characteristics that are common across the entire guitar line, such as using only selected solid tops that allow for maximum response and a rich, full sound. But the factory goes much further, each top has been selected and tested with custom equipment designed exclusively for each particular guitar. This method of pressure testing each solid top ensures the highest levels of stiffness along with maximum harmonic vibration, which certainly benefits overall tone, projection, and resonance.

Additionally, all Simon & Patrick guitars feature the new Integrated Set Neck system, which adds additional strength and reinforcement to the crucial area where the body and top meet the neck. This system allows for a more consistent and stable action while significantly reducing neck warping and twisting, largely attributed to changes in weather.

These are just some of the characteristics that make Simon & Patrick guitars making their way into the guitar market. Instruments made with care, passion and attention to detail, with an incredible quality / price ratio.
