Simon & Patrick Woodland Guitar

Premium Handcrafted Folk Body with Vintage Charm

The Simon & Patrick Woodland Pro Folk is a premium folk-sized acoustic guitar from the Woodland Pro series, handcrafted in La Patrie, Quebec, Canada, for players seeking boutique quality at an accessible price. Ideal for fingerstyle, blues, and intimate performances across Australia, it features a select pressure-tested solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides for a warm, responsive tone. Available in finishes like Sunburst and Natural, it’s praised for its craftsmanship, balance, and value, making it a standout choice for stage and studio.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The Woodland Pro Folk delivers a sweet, brawny tone with surprising projection:

• Body: Folk-sized with a select pressure-tested solid spruce top for crisp, articulate highs and rich overtones. The solid mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth, creating a balanced, piano-like response that’s ideal for fingerpicking or flatpicking.
• Tone: Warm and slightly punchy with a satisfying low end, offering excellent note separation and sustain. In double dropped-D or DADGAD tunings, it remains sweet and responsive, blending notes with accord for a vintage small-body vibe.
• Neck: Hand-sanded mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and a slim, classical-inspired profile for comfortable playability. The 24.75″ scale length and 1.75″ nut width enhance feel without sacrificing tone.
• Bridge: Rosewood for stable intonation and sustain.
• Tuners: Butterbean-style with engraved plates for precise tuning stability.
• Strings: Typically light-gauge phosphor bronze for balanced tone and ease of play.

Users rave about its quality, with a Premier Guitar review stating, “The Woodland Pro Folk sounds excellent, warm and slightly punchy, thanks to the mahogany-and-spruce build.” Acoustic Guitar magazine highlights its “punch, presence, and definition” for under $1,000. Some note the unique neck profile feels more classical than modern, requiring adjustment but rewarding with versatility.

Durable and Stylish Design

• Finish: Custom polished finish that enhances resonance without muffling, available in Sunburst (graduating from deep brown to golden orange) or Natural.
• Aesthetics: Slotted headstock, butterbean tuners, and rosewood rosette evoke 1930s Gibson or Martin vibes, with white binding for an uptown look.
• Build Quality: Pressure-tested solid woods, dovetail neck joint for vibration transfer, and flawless craftsmanship. Weighing approximately 4.0–4.5 lbs, it’s lightweight for extended play.

Backed by a 2-year warranty (extendable with registration at godin.ca), it’s built for longevity. Prices range from $689–$824 USD (AUD 1,000–1,200), available at Australian retailers like Mannys Music, Store DJ, and The Guitar World.
