Members Misha Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi everybody!! I hope you are all doing well! It's been a long time! Today, I've been busy at the office, working for more than 11 hours in overtime! I was afraid I would be stuck in the trafic because of the Formula E not too far from my work. So, when I left, I decided that I needed to look for a better acoustic pickup than my Fishman Neo D, instead. (Which is not bad but doesn't have a preamp.) And I found one!

So, what do you think!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's hard to tell with the pic. The giant bubblewrap is interesting. Happy New Guitar Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted July 30, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thank's! They bubbled my guitar!! It's this one! (If I can upload the picture correctly, this time!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Nice! What are the details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted July 30, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's a Simon & Patrick Concert Hall AE (A3T). Solid spruce top with laminated back and sides. Brand new, it was still in the box and the action is very good, not too low, not too high. Right now, I see nothing to do on it. Maybe later I'll put a bone nut/saddle on it with bone or rosewood bridge pins. But for now, it's just fine and fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted July 30, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 I also liked a Yamaha a lot, it was a FGX800C. It sounded very good too but felt too big for me! It was more boomy. The S&P is more babalanced. Both were nice guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Welcome back, Misha. Good to see you on HCAG again. Please stay with us. Congratulations for the new guitar - those S & P guitars are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted July 30, 2017 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Garthman! Glad to see you too! I've had one in the past, similar to this S&P but did the mistake to sell it. This one, though has a slightly different body. I think their folk body was a bit different. I may be wrong but the upper bout is larger, more like an OM. I missed having an acoustic electric. I could have had a nice pickup in my Larrivee OM-03 but since it's all solid wood, I won't dare to carry it outside. The S&P is less fragile, having laminated back and sides.

Members DeepEnd Posted July 30, 2017 Members Share Posted July 30, 2017 Congratulations. Happy New Guitar Day. There's a shop fairly close to me that sells S&P. They're nice guitars. S&P uses TUSQ for nuts and saddles and I doubt you'd hear a difference switching to bone. Play it in good health. It's good to hear from you again.

You know, I always say I'm going to change my saddles for bone but I end up never doing it! Not sure it will be different, this time. Only if the occasion shows up for not too much money!

Members garthman Posted July 31, 2017 Members Share Posted July 31, 2017 Sorry Misha. Looks like Photobucket now wants money if you embed a pic. Nasty commercial crap - these people are millionaires already. Obscene fatcats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
