Simon & Patrick Guitar Shops

Simon & Patrick focus on acoustic guitars and produce some fantastic designs at their workshops in the Eastern Townships just outside of Montreal in LaPatrie in Quebec. The luthiers who bring Simon & Patrick guitars 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 and Simon & Patrick to become some of the finest luthiers in the business. Each of the guitars that Simon & Patrick make is created with the utmost focus on sound and quality. Certain common features throughout the guitars emphasise this ideal, such as only using select solid tops allowing for maximum response and a full rich sound. The company prides itself on individually pressure testing each solid top to ensure maximum stiffness and rigidity along with maximum harmonic vibration on Simon & Patrick guitars.

All Simon & Patrick guitars now also include the unique Integrated Set Neck system, which adds extra resistance and reinforcement to the crucial area where the body and top meet the neck. The Integrated Set Neck system allows for more consistent and stable action while significantly reducing warping and twisting of the neck on Simon & Patrick guitars. Also, in combination with the compound curve top, the Integrated Set Neck system eliminates downward pressure from the fingerboard on the top. A double function truss rod can also be found in every Simon & Patrick neck along with Indian rosewood fingerboards and bridges with Tusq nuts and fully compensated saddles by Graphtech. With every selected piece of wood, every skillfully crafted part and with every strummed chord, there are people behind every hand crafted Simon & Patrick acoustic guitar.
