This product is no longer available.
The S&P Songsmith delivers incredible value, impeccable craftsmanship and a sound that will inspire players and fledgling songwriters to get that tune inside of their heads out to the masses.
The Songsmiths feature wild cherry back and sides along with Select Pressure Tested tops delivering a very responsive and well balanced sound. The procedure of pressure testing each top insures that only the best quality tops will be chosen for their high level of stiffness and rigidity, which translates to an optimal level of harmonic vibration in the top. The comfortable necks on the Songsmiths are made from silver leaf maple and feature the new Integrated Set neck system, which adds increased stability through varying changes in climate

I was looking for years for an affordable 12 fret parlour as I’m a smaller female and the dreadnaughts that I’ve played for over 40 years were really just too big and I own enough of these. I just loved the old look of this guitar, the colour, the shape, pick guard, tuners all had the depression era look that I wanted. Very rich looking design in my eyes. In addition Godins philosophy and craftsmanship using sustainable wood with their own Quebec lumber is really important to me as a consumer. I ordered this in 2018 and have never looked back and have had many compliments on the look. I never tire of admiring it. The sound through my pa is awesome as well. No complaints at all for the price that I paid. I also have a Taylor koa gs mini but this is much lighter and with only 12 frets my fingers have more space within the frets when I need to use capo. I love my gs mini as well but it is so nice to have two very different looking parlour guitars.

I first started playing guitar in the spring of 2018 and on an impulse, bought a $150 guitar. Was great for a beginner like me and it taught me the ropes. However, as I got more advanced, I noticed the guitar I had was seriously lacking. I swung by L&M and the folks there helped me find this guitar. I absolutely love it. It's so smooth and easy to play. It's so well balanced and really enriched my guitar playing experience. While I'm appreciative of my first guitar, this is the guitar that really elevated my playing to the next level!

I was looking for a smaller instrument to help me get to grips better with some fundamentals. This turned up in my research and turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It is a joy to play and helps build confidence with its ease of 'handling'. I imagine this instrument will provide me with much enjoyment for many years to come.
The good: the sound. This instrument just rings out with a beautiful tone, although it does have less volume than my old dreadnought. I dare say the neighbours appreciate that.
The bad: the look. I'm not a big fan of the bourbon sunburst look personally, but I'm not looking at it when I'm playing so all good.

This thing will totally hook you. Get one, put it on a stand, put the stand in the highest traffic room of the house. You will pick it up every time you pass by.
I don't care what kind of music you play, this thing will make you a better guitarist...because you're hours per week will skyrocket. Huge value, huge quality, huge addiction, all in a little sweetheart of a 12fret blues box. Just buy it.

Passed by this guitar weeks before buying it while the salesman was talking it up as I was looking at high end Dreadnaughts. Did some research on Parlour guitars later but could find no reviews on this exact model. Decided to go back weeks later and try it and was sold after 10 mins. Oiled the fretboard and put a new set of medium Elixir Phosphorous Bronze Nanoweb on and wow! This guitar sounds amazing for the price point and the quality is awesome as with all S&P products. I’ve owned a Songsmith dreadnought model since 2009 and absolutely love it so this little guy had big shoes to fill and came through in spades. I'm a dreadnaught guy and was looking for something a little smaller maybe for camping but thought I’d have to sacrifice tone and overall sound & boy was I wrong. It’s obviously not as loud as a dreadnought or boomy but it’s warm and crisp and soft all in one package. I also own a Gibson Hummingbird so I’m aware of what a high end guitar sounds like. S&P sell medium to high end guitars for a steal and I can’t say enough about them.
Apparently I purchased the only one in Alberta at the time so if your reading this and want one hopefully it doesn’t take to long to get one in. This guitar is so addictive to play, hours will fly by as your strumming or fingerpicking it.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
