Simon & Patrick, a Canadian-made, handmade acoustic brand under the Godin umbrella, is a guitar with a sound that caters to modern needs, similar to Taylor guitars. I was amazed by the quality. It's very easy to play, and the sound is incredible for this price range. It seems the original price was around 80,000 yen in the 90s, so I'd estimate the quality is equivalent to a 150,000 yen instrument today. One thing to note is that the endpin/strap pin hole has been expanded because a pickup was installed, and it remains that way. Comes with a TKG semi-hard case, which costs around 17,000 yen at Soundhouse.
