Simon & Patrick Songsmith Folk Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Solid Spruce & Laminated Wild Cherry Construction

The S&P Songsmith Folk Acoustic Guitar features a stunning spruce top that offers a broad dynamic range, versatility, bright tonal character and accommodates numerous playing techniques with ease. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range and bright, singing highs. The spruce top is contrasted beautifully by the wild cherry laminate back and sides, offering similar tonal properties that fall between the mellow tone of mahogany, and the bright sound of maple. Overall, this guitar delivers a rich blend of quality tonewoods that shine through with each chord, note or strum.

Folk Body

The S&P Songsmith features a folk body shape, which is smaller and more curved that the popular dreadnought size, offering great projection in a smaller, more comfortable size. The slimmer waist and smooth curves make it more comfortable for beginners and smaller players. The body shape provides a soft, bright tone which can handle many different styles, but is especially suited to finger-style players and folk enthusiasts. Its nipped-in waist and bigger bout offer great low end response, providing a little more bass response and volume projection.

Silver Leaf Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The silver leaf maple neck’s tone falls into the same category as mahogany, offering durability, rich warmth, brilliant mid-range punch and great playability. The neck features a semi-gloss finish, making it silky smooth under the hand with no drag at all. The silver leaf maple neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright tone that shines through when utilising finger picking techniques.
