I'm selling a Simon and Patrick SP12 Spruce 12-String Acoustic Guitar.  It 
is hand-made by luthiers in Canada.  This guitar is in almost mint 
condition.  It sounds beautiful and has great volume. The octave strings 
really make the sound full and rich.  The guitar has a solid spruce top.  
The overall workmanship is very impressive.  

The guitar comes with a really sturdy lined hardshell case (couple of nicks 
on the case) made for the guitar.

If you are just starting to play, why not get a high-quality guitar at an 
affordable price and learn the right way?  If you are an experienced player 
and always wanted to get a 12-string to play with, this is the one to get.  

If you are interested you can email me or call me at 404-206-4858.  I 
absolutely love this guitar and am only selling it because I can't justify 
owning several guitars right now.

In case there are some new guitar players who don't know, a 12-string has 
two strings for each of the strings on a regular guitar.  2 of the strings 
are tuned in unison and 4 of the strings are tuned an octave higher than 
the standard strings which produces a much fuller sound when played.  You 
play a 12-string just like you play a six string in case you are wondering, 
it just sounds much fuller.

Here are ratings of the almost identicle (but slightly less expensive) 
6-string version of the same model from harmony central (There are no 
reviews yet of the 12 string version but it is the same design and 
materials, one just has twice as many strings):

Sound: 10
We tried this in comparison with a 'jumbo' Takamine and 2 Martins. Sound is 
very well equilibrated between all strings. In pure acoustic, Takamine was 
no way close enough to this model or the Martins so was dropped off the 
competition. The sound of this guitar is unbelievable when you know its 
price. It really can be compared to Martin and other high price model. My 
friends (35 years of guitar) though it was the price of a D15 when he first 
heard it... Picking and strumming is as good.

Sound: 10
I have a very very open style of music. However, in the market for a new 
guitar the Simon and Patrick suits my style very adequately.The sound is 
supperb considering the price($500 with a hardshell case).Whether it be the 
beginner or the professional, this guitar has the sound. Actually, the 
sound can be compared to Gibsons, Martins, and Taks and in many cases 
better.

and heres one from the Cedar Top model:

Overall Rating: 10
I've been playing off and on for about 10 years. I decided I wanted to 
further my playing habits and went out looking for a good solid 
dreadnaught. I was willing to pay good dough for something I would enjoy 
playing. I was totally blown away when I picked up this baby. Not one of 
the brand names sounded nearly as good - (well that's not true, there was 
that circa 1945 Martin D45). Everybody says there a good buy for the money. 
Sorry, I think "Great Buy" is more appropriate. I'd definitely buy another, 
and another and another. I just hope that others will have the chance to 
try one of these great guitars and enjoy what a little Canadian ingenuity 
can produce.
