Spend over well 2 hours trying out different acoustics. Originally had an Epiphone J-45 Slash Collection in mind due to its more narrow neck (to accommodate my short fingers). Played great, but didn't compare to the sound of the S&P Woodland Cedar. Even tried a Gibson J-45 standard for direct comparison. The sound on the Gibson was incredible, but on sale at 400% more than the Woodland?.and Woodland sounded almost as good! It comes with either a spruce or cedar top. The cedar really brings out the bass and mid-range tones and the top end is crystal clear. For sound quality at this price, it's 5 stars. Many thanks to the great L&M staff in the Soo for their assistance and suggestions.

I was originally looking at some Martins but after playing some in the 1200$ range I was not satisfied. Tried this on a whim as it looked alright. Well it plays beautiful, far better then the 1200$ Martin, in fact more comparable to a 2000$ 000-15M GREAT VALUE AND GREAT SOUND

I compared a Simon and Patrick (S & P) Woodland Spruce guitar with a S & P Songsmith Dreadnought guitar at my local Long and McQuade store. The main difference I noticed is that the Woodland Spruce guitar has a brighter sound than the Songsmith Dreadnought guitar. I purchased a Songsmith Dreadnought because I already have a S & P Songsmith Parlor guitar. In my opinion, S & P guitars are the loudest and nicest sounding guitars in the $600 price range.

I bought this guitar just before moving to Canada 15 yrs ago and have not regretted it.
Best one I've ever owned. The only thing is the Quantum pickups back then were terrible and 3 times had to be replaced under warranty ( very frustrating). I eventually bought an LR Baggs I Beam and installed it, best upgrade ever. This sweet sounding guitar is my last.

I've been playing this guitar for about five years now, its the guitar I first learned on and I don't ever see myself going to another. I have tried out a couple of other guitars such as Martins and Gibsons at the guitar store and non of them have ever felt this playable. The guitar has the perfect sound for any playing style, perfect for fingerpicking as well as rocking out and filling a room with music.
The best feature would have to be the neck, it's got a small profile that fits perfectly in the hand.
If your are looking for a new acoustic guitar look no further and go get yourself one of these guitars, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED

Bought my S&P from Long & Mcquade about 9 years ago. At first, I thought the sound was too bright & tinny but the very knowledgeable staff at L&M listened to my concerns, and preferences , and improved the sound to the more bass/richer tone I was seeking with a set up and re-stringing that made a huge difference. I was told the guitar would improve with age and honestly it’s amazing- I own a Taylor but this S&P is my go-to guitar for jamming and gigs. It plays like butter, sounds great plugged into an amp or mixer, and in my opinion is equal or better than acoustics twice the price. Excellent build quality, action and overall feel. Been playing it a lot lately and enjoy it so much I thought i would share my experience with people considering this guitar.

I absolutely love this guitar. I also own a Taylor which is amazing but my go-to guitar for gigs for most acoustic songs is my S&P. It’s build quality is excellent- comparable to guitars $1000 more expensive. Great features- and the sound improved over the years- richer and mellow. I’ve had this for 10 years now & enjoy it more than ever.
Initially, it sounded too bright for my taste and a bit tinny - but after consulting a very knowledgeable L&M guitar staff, I had it restrung & set up in a way that created better action & more bass tone. As others advised, the guitar sound actually improved over time. So important to get it set up & strings changed periodically. Amazing value, fun to play, you can feel the quality & holds its own in live performance. L&M very helpful & if the guitar doesn’t need a set up they will tell you so.

It sounds amazing, is easy to play and it looks great too. It plays like a guitar that would be much more expensive than it actually is considering you can get the guitar plus a case for under 750.00 at LM (case not included)

This is one great package for the price. It’s already got warmth and tone better than much more expensive guitars, and will be fantastic when it opens up some. I think S&P is an under- rated brand in general, don’t hesitate to get one, you are getting a much better constructed instrument than the price reflects imho. Move on past the big brand names & to an S&P. Thank me later when you know.

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, but especially those who are beginners that want a high-end sounding acoustic without paying a high-end price tag.

Hey hosers, the last time I purchased anything made from Canadian Woodland Spruce it was likely for a hockey stick. Fast forward to today, I definitely scored here on sound, quality and price. I love the big, bright, reverberating sound and the look and the feel of this guitar. I tried many other different makes and models over a period of several days before making this purchase. Also before buying, I had not seen any on line reviews for this guitar and so my purchase was some what unbiased or uninfluenced by anything other than the guitar itself. Well done Godin and Simon and Patrick! Now, take off eh...

Put a set of Elixir's on this guitar and listen to the sustain. It'll take a while to get the grin off your face. Maybe mine was a fluke but the sound is very full, balanced and bright. No it doesn't have quite as fat a bottom end as a non laminated body Gibson or Taylor but it didn't cost $4000 or $5000 either. I bought mine only two years ago and I love the feel and sounds this guitar produces. The narrower nut would be great for a younger player or someone with light gauge fingers (me). It takes a few minutes for me to adjust from a 1.75" neck when changing guitars but muscle memory kicks in and its all fun from there. I've never been able to find the PERFECT neck for mixed playing styles on any one guitar I've ever played. A great intermediate or beginner guitar. My guitar will be hung on to for a long long time.

That's right. Unable to have a guitar for a few years while travelling and then started shopping, at L&M, trying out some Martins when I hear an employee playing a used Songsmith he was putting out.
I was immediately struck by the sound and figured it must out of my price range.
To my surprise, he told a guy just traded it in and they were selling it for $80. I strummed it twice and said "Sold" Best sounding guitar I've ever owned and sounds and holds up better than my Martin D35 which sells for 6 times the price. Don't hesitate to buy this guitar.

I bought this guitar 10 years ago. It looked, sounded and felt great then, and has only improved over the years. It has been played by countless very experienced and professional guitar players over the years and every single one of them has remarked on it's easy playability and it's lovely balanced sound. I play it every day, and whenever I am tempted to shop for something new I always end up thinking ?what could I possibly buy for less than $3K that will be a significant improvement over my Simon & Patrick Spruce?? The answer: nothing.

This is my first acoustic and I still reach for it when I want the deeper sound. All my acoustics are from S&P. You get so much value from these fine folks. It's 6 years old now and the sound gets more mellow every year as it ages.

For the money its a great road guitar if you don't wanna take a guitar costing 1000s of dollars. I do a lot of finger style requiring a lot of precision fretting and the spacing is TIGHT same the acoustic Godan midi guitar. My taylor for example is technically the same size neck but the S&P is undercut in my opinion. the action, however, if fabulous as is the tone up the neck for a laminate side guitar. good sustain loud and clean when plugged in. If you have sausages for fingers, forget it. If not for the narrow neck (and even 1mm between strings is huge) i'd give it 5 stars.

I've played acoustic guitar for over 30 years and by chance came across my songsmith in a hock shop! The instant I strummed it I knew it was a gem. Have played it regularly since, including live gigs (with a pick up inserted) and at parties and fires. Can't beat the sound and it's only gotten better with age.

I purchased this non-cutaway Songsmith dreadnought yesterday after comparing it with a handful of other instruments roughly in the same price range.The only guitar that sounded as good to my ear was a Yamaha acoustic/electric (the exact model escapes me)that was about 150 dollars more dear.As I have no current interest in having to compete with a band sound, the added electronics struck me as an unwarranted expense.
My main concern this time was in finding the best sounding guitar I could for under 500 Canadian dollars and I feel like I've succeeded in spades.
This box has a nice tight crisp resonance with a delicate and musical high end as apposed to brittle and sharp like many new instruments can sound and feel.A little more low end would really compliment the overall sound but at this price I can't complain. The slender satin finished neck has a sensual feel to it being comfortably wide and easy to skip up and down. The 16' radius and medium sized fret wire show no signs of fret buzz (whereas the pricier Yamaha needed adjustment and was buzzing noticeably.) By the way the (S&P) frets could stand to be dressed but in this range it's rare to find a model with rounded off fret ends. Anyway I am very pleased with this purchase.As someone who has been playing for almost 5 decades I can honestly say I have never found a better deal,
and I am continually amazed at the quality of the instruments coming off the line now for relatively very low prices.

I bought one of these guitars about 5 years ago, and though it was a bit cheaper when I bought it (I think I paid $450 for it), it's still served me well as a hobbyist player over that time period. I have had one setup done on it since the initial purchase setup and after 5 years it still plays great. Minor fret wear usually requires guitars to be adjusted, but that's common among pretty well any regularly used guitar so Godin's team at Simon and Patrick are really no different in this regard. The pickup is decent, sure it's not a Fishman, but you aren't paying for a Fishman level pickup for quality nor are you paying for a guitar that you'd want a super high end pickup in it anyway. But the guitars sound really nice for a cutaway dreadnought style and they hold their tuning really well, even if you do a lot of string bending it won't drop out of tuning. For students, hobbyists, street corner pluckers or cafe strummers, this guitar is the right guitar for you. If you want something to play a lot of finger picking on however, the neck is a bit narrow for most adult men and I have found that as I got older, it's harder to do with the strings spaced so close together.

Just nice if I do drop it by accident, I don't have to have a heart attack. It is durrable. The sound of this guitar really does sound good though. Overall this is an amazing guitar.

Been playing for years, recently had my normal gigging Martin crushed when someone backended me on icy roads, totalling my trunk, which of course, my Martin was in. Bought this in a panicked rush, because the neck felt great and the tonality shocked me. The price was right, considering I was running late to the gig, and now needed a cab.
I have not put this guitar down since. Working on aging it now, for no other reason than to let the passion of the wood shine. Try this one out folks, you won't be dissappointed.

Any of the Godin off-shoot companies are really your best bet for buying a quality acoustic guitar in Canada. I just purchased this guitar and could not be happier. The only reason I dropped the score a bit is because there is no cut-away or tuner etc. However, these are not features that MUST be present on an acoustic so take that with a grain of salt. Build quality is amazing, set-up is great with an action that is quite low and playable for an acoustic. The main thing I would like to say is that the Spruce model is quite a bit brighter than the Cedar. I tried both the Cedar and Spruce side by side for a good hour and the Spruce was brighter and twangy while the cedar was more mellow and bass-y. This guitar rings out so beautifully that you can sometimes be fooled into thinking there is some sort of reverb/delay effect. You will not find higher quality at this price range. Period.

I've bought and sold more guitars than is safe or natural as I gave up on learning over and over again. This one? This one is something else.
The minute I picked it up, I knew I had to have it. The construction is excellent, the neck plays like butter, the tone is brilliant. I actually enjoy playing this instrument, and I've actually stuck to learning after buying it.
I may not be as experienced as a lot of the people that review guitars on here, but I've tried my hand at a few and this is the only acoustic I've stuck with.
5 stars all around.

I went into L&M's acoustic room on Bloor quite prepared to pay $1000, played every guitar I could, and walked out with this, which simply sounded the best. I put a Baggs M1A on it and it's been my main gigging and recording guitar now for almost five years. I now have a Martin 000-15m, which plays a little better and sounds different, but the Songsmith genuinely holds its own with the Martin at less than 1/4 the price. And I still gig the Songsmith because it's indestructible, unlike the Martin!

When I was in the market for a new acoustic guitar I researched many brands and tested many different models. I chose the Woodland Spruce for many reasons and now after 6 months of owning it I could not be happier. To me owning a guitar is about more than just one aspect. Sound, feel, quality, and lasting satisfaction of ownership all are very important to me. This guitar fills all of these aspects and I still get a smile on my face whenever I pick it up to play.

This guitar is beautiful in every way. It's mellow and sweet and a joy to play. The strings sit on the fretboard. It's Canadian made. It's so nice to look at, as well. Elegant headstock. Tuners are high quality. Why would you consider a guitar made half-way around the world, sent over on a container ship, when you can get a Canadian made gem like this? Watch the youtube video of the Godin factory and you'll be sold. Best deal in the acoustic guitar world. Just buy it.

Love it. Have had it for a couple months now. I'm a beginner and just learning and it feels and sounds awesome. Holds tune great. I practice/play maybe 1-2hrs day and tune about once a week and it's barely out, if at all. I keep it in the case humidified, and need to fill up the humidifier every week. The wood on this guitar smells awesome, every time I open the case. I've never owned a more expensive guitar but this one feels like quality to me. It's rock solid and true and the sunburst looks great to me. The finish is slightly matte which I think makes it feel and look even more solid (woody vs plasticy). I've read the reviews where some have changed the nut and strings etc, but I'm not sure I can hear those subtle differences yet. I think it sounds and plays great as is! Once again people at L&M were fantastic!

I went to Long & McQuade to buy a an acoustic guitar around $400. The sales guy recommended Simon & Patrick. I was amazed at the quality for the price. Not only does the instrument sound amazing, but it's handmade in Canada. I would highly recommend this guitar.

I want to address this to anyone reading these reviews to make up their mind on buying a Songsmith. First off they are NOT just a beginner guitar. Yes they are quite inexpensive but that doesn't mean lower quality. I have played for 45 years and the Songsmith dread is my only acoustic. I have had the usual variety of Martins and Larrivees over the years and lost them to mostly bad decisions. This is a guitar I will gig with without any qualms at all. There is no shame in owning a truly great Canadian made guitar. So please don't dismiss them because of cost or lamination. Trust your ears.

I am a new guitarist, just started in August of 2013. On the recommendation of friends, I started on a Yamaha 720. I was having problems with hitting chords properly, as the neck just didn't feel right for me. I returned that instrument, and tried a few others in the same price range. This model stood out from the others, from the comfortable neck through the rich voice imparted by the cedar top. As previous reviews have mentioned, the instrument definitely inproves with frequent playing. I also strongly advise the use of a humidifer during the winter. The difference in resonance, when this guitar is properly humidified, is very pronounced. I really love this guitar, and would recommend it to a friend without hesitation.

I went to Long and McQuade in Fredericton NB looking for a good acoustic guitar, I planned on spending between $800-$1000....I had seen this pretty little blue burst Simon my previous visit but hadn't played it, it reminded me a lot of a Norman I owned years ago...so I tried out a Taylor, a Martin, and a couple other high end guitars, my wife actually insisted I try the "pretty blue" Simon & Patrick, and when I did I was very surprised, then shocked when I looked at the price, I had to ask if it was a used guitar!! I tried the high end guitars again, I couldn't believe how very little difference there was between this $320 guitar and a $1000 Taylor or Martin, of course there were some subtle differences but none that warranted spending the extra $700....I bought this guitar and love it, and had enough in my budget left to buy a set of electric drums lol....Best guitar I have owned to date, been playing for over 20 years, and its one of the nicest I've ever played even, well.at least for under $1000. Try one, you won't be dissapointed.

My S&p Woodland Spruce is a delight to play. The only think I would change are the strings. I would use silk & steel light gauge as I pick rather than strum. The bass is not too great as compared to my Martin, but I can live with it. A great sounding guitar outside & in doors

I ordered online. One I got is unplayable. Overall action is too high and at the nut its ridiculously high. I can't casually play this thing without always having to concentrate on pressing down hard. Really hurts fingers. At this price point, its not worth taking to a luthier. I'm taking it back tomorrow and maybe try the Woodland models.

This has got to be the best sounding guitar in its price range and even above its price range.
It is so clear and crisp without losing all the low end.

Tried many guitars before trying this one. Wow is all I can say!!!
It also seems very durable for camping.
Give this one a try!!!

This is the type of guitar that makes the player sound better. At least for me...I truly feel that I sound better on this gem. I think some of the wood may come from BC, I know a friend who brokered wood to Godin several years ago.
Boy, did I not know how well they perform.
Sustain, tone, volume, dynamics, harmonics, tuning, action...this is my favorite acoustic guitar ever, hands down.

Been playing for 16 years, and have played many guitars of varying quality. This little gem stacks up against the very best of them, and considering the price point it may be the best of them all for overall quality/value. If you want a first (or tenth) guitar this should be it, no question at all. Great quality, even beter tone.

I have been playing guitar for 43 years and have owned dozens of instruments. Acoustic guitars I currently own include a '71 Martin D28 and a Larrivee L-03, as well as a LaPatrie classical.
I'm absolutely floored at the sound that comes out of this little, plain looking guitar. This was definitely the sweetest one hanging on the wall that day at the Burlington L&M, but I must say I've been consistently impressed by these Godin/Simon & Patrick acoustics wherever I find them.
I initially picked an S&P off the wall just out of curiosity. I'm usually interested mainly in the Gibsons, Martins, Taylors, etc. When I first casually strummed this little guitar I was immediately impressed by the long sustain and the clarity of the notes. Then I noticed the beautiful balance between the lows, mids and highs, the way a single string would cause harmonics to bloom even when all other strings were muted. Intonation was remarkably accurate, workmanship flawless, the neck a pleasure to play. SOLD.
I'm going to keep cruising the S&P section in any music store that carries them until I find another one of these gems. And another, and another.

Rented one for a month for a second guitar. This thing is an absolute blast to play with the short scale. Less string pressure required so easier on the fingers and faster picking. The neck has a profile that just fits - nicely shaped and fits my shorter fingers. Sound - for this price - sweet. I can't put this guitar down - finger style - pick - it does it all.

I bought this S&P Woodland Spruce guitar Friday, November 23, 2012 for $399.99. Model# SP29099. With it I purchased a Crossrock Element Dreadnought Bag Model# CREG10D FOR $39.99.
For the total purchase price of $491.67. This being my only purchase of any musical equipment.
Also getting it on a 12 month easypay with Long & McQuade makes it very affordable for me at only $35.34/month with just $100 down.
The staff member I dealt with was excellent. He not only gave me some information on the guitars in great detail, he also told me honestly about the sound and production quality of the guitars and gave me his honest opinion of a cheaper guitar i was looking at for only $139.99.
I thought it was good but spending just 20 minutes in the store I made my choice of this S&P Woodland Spruce model.
Later that evening, I invited a friend over to my new home, (I just moved October 26 of this year) to a little cottage. The first immpression of this new guitar was very amazing. Ray is a very picky person about some things like this.
At first when i began talking to him earlier in the day about my purchase at his place, he was sure that for my income and for the total cost of the guitar that it would be too much for me to handle at $35.34/mo, Especially when he had already given me a classical guitar just about 6 months ago.
I however wanted 2 different guitars for the difference in sound and style.
The new S&P guitar we both found is extremely easy to play, comfortable, the sound is rich and full. Just as good as my classical, and more, this new guitar beats all as far as i have heard from other reviews so far from people who have purchased this model.
Ray told me that he was more than glad that i purchased this and even leaving my place afterward he was so shocked by what i had bought that i think he wanted one at first glance but as he turned to leave the feeling seemed to intensify.
I now look forward to using my new guitar in the days, months and years to come. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of an acustic guitar!
I will sure be back to purchase again for Long & McQuade. Thanks for such great service!

So I got this guitar as a gift in March of this year (2012). After about an hour of searching and browsing the other guitars, I found that this one really stood out for me. The sound is just great, and produces a nice bright tone. I've only been playing for 11 months now, so I don't have much experience with the tones and sounds of guitars, but I can say this one sounds great. The only bad thing about this guitar is the tuner... It's very inaccurate and I find that I can tune it better with my ear. Otherwise this guitar is very good, and surely will be played for many years to come!
P.S. I did a straightedge test to see if my top needed humidifying last night, and found that the natural arch isn't 100% in the middle of the guitar but a bit to the left of the top. Anyone have any info on this? Is it a big deal?

I got this as a gift in March of this year for my birthday to replace my not so great cheap model guitar, and all I can say is it's amazing. I may not have too much experience with tone and stuff,(I've only been playing for 6 months) but the sound of this guitar is just amazing. It is very rich sounding. The only problem I have with it is the built in tuner. It works, but sometimes gives me wrong readings of the strings' tuning (yes i have a musical ear), but for the most part it does its job.

I got the Songsmith dreadnought (no pickup). Really great value and sound. The detailed craftsmenship is noticeable, even though it is no high-end guitar.
Solid spuce top, synthetic bone nut and saddle (when you get lower end guitars you often need to swap out their plastic nut and saddle, e.x. Yamahas) and the lacquer finish really let this guitar sing. The tone is so clear because of the thin finish. Looking forward to hearing how this guitar changes sound as it ages over time. The finish also allows for a very smooth neck.
You often can't find all these features at this price point. I'm guessing they can save costs because the woods are locally sourced and the guitars are made in the country. It also helps that the factory strings and the out-of-the-box setup are pretty decent.

This guitar is great bang for the buck! Being a professional vocalist, I don't always want the cutting edge that a spruce top provides. A great deal of the songs I perform require that deep, clear yet mellow sound that only a cedar top can give. The wild cherry sides and back combined with the silver leaf maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, make the Woodland Cedar a great all-purpose guitar. As other real wood guitars, this instrument does improve with age and use. However, an added bonus of having a cedar top is that the wood matures more quickly than spruce, bringing the guitar into its prime much sooner. A friend of mine at L & M said: "All these guitars require is a little TLC." I couldn't agree more. Take care of this instrument, and you'll have a great musical companion for years to come.

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.

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: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 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.
