Simon & Patrick / Pro Flamed Maple / 2000 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
Simon and Patrick are a well established maker in the affordable, mid range acoustic market. This guitar is from their Pro range – now known as the Showcase range – which is an all solid wood, high gloss example. This particular guitar features a beautiful three piece Flame Maple back together with Spruce top and Maple sides. It’s a significant jump up from their Woodland range. The Maple back and sides add a punchiness and a zing to the tone. The bass is full but bright, and the overall balance is very even. As a 24 year old guitar it’s been well played, and the tone has really benefitted from this. There’s a fair amount of visible playwear, particularly around the soundhole, and some lacquer checking, one of which has been repaired. The guitar feels very substantial and really well put together. The neck is comfortable and the playability is great.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
