Previously known as the PRO Series, the S&P Showcase guitars are the upper echelon of the entire line. Superbly crafted in a separate, secluded acoustic studio where each guitar can be individually & meticulously crafted by a handful of the finest luthiers in the business. Being artists in their own right, these luthiers devote much time and attention to every aspect in the process of building these high-end guitars. Both the look and more importantly the sound of these fine instruments are brought to fruition by the passion and artistry of the luthiers who lend their craftsmanship to each guitar.
     The Showcase models are some of the best acoustic guitars we have ever built. Featuring only the highest grade of Select Pressure Tested solid spruce tops which are tuned and supported by the strong, yet extra-light, Adirondack spruce bracing to achieve an exceptionally dynamic response. The Showcase bodies are complemented by the sound and look of the finest solid wood back & sides and then finished with a high-gloss Custom Polished finish. The mahogany necks are sanded and finished by hand to provide remarkable comfort and playability up and down the rosewood fingerboard. The classic aesthetic beauty of these acoustic guitars are accentuated by the intricate wood rosette, natural wood binding, high-ratio gold plated tuners with cream buttons, deluxe Tusq bridge pins by Graphtech and the abalone and mother-of-pearl logo on the hand contoured high-gloss headstocks.

Each Simon & Patrick Showcase guitar includes the revolutionary TRIC case.

A8 Mandolin
As with all of the A-Series instruments, the A8 mandolin mixes traditional tone woods with modern design concepts and electronics. The two-chamber body is routed from a solid block of mahogany and capped with a solid spruce top. The top is voiced with a unique combination of X and fan bracing that produces exceptional sound and projection even when played acoustically. But plugged in is where the A8 truly excels. The individual RMC saddle transducers run through an RMC preamp voiced specifically for the A8. The A8 is available in two colors; Natural with a satin finish or, Cognac Burst with a high gloss finish.

Specs
  • Mahogany neck with Ebony Fingerboard
  • Two-Chamber Mahogany body
  • Solid Spruce Top
  • RMC transducer saddles with custom preamp
  • Volume, Mid, Treble and Bass controls
  • CognacBurst High-Gloss or Natural Semi-Gloss finish
Ami Cedar Blue
Never judge a book by its cover! The Ami's are modeled after the dimensions of a parlor guitar of the early 1900's. Small in stature but surprisingly large where it counts most... Tone and projection.
The Ami's tone is clear and pronounced, making it a great guitar for acoustic blues, slide, folk, finger style or just to simply bring a different tonal color to your next musical project.
While being extremely comfortable to play and very easy to carry around because of its compact size, the Ami's amazing tone makes these guitars extremely hard to put down!
