All three come from La Patrie, Quebec, a small village that apparently attracts guitar makers.

It's not a coincidence. S&P, Seagull, Norman, and A&L are all sub-brands of Godin Guitars.
Quote:
Godin started building Robert Godin's guitars in 1972 in La Patrie, Quebec.
Godin Guitars' head office is located in Montreal, and they build their instruments in six factories in four different locations, three in Quebec and one in New Hampshire.
Godin Guitars makes instruments under several different labels. Norman makes entry- to mid-level acoustic guitars. Art & Lutherie makes entry-level budget guitars. The Simon and Patrick brand make mid- to high-range steel-string acoustics. La Patrie manufactures classical guitars. Seagull is known for manufacturing solid wood entry- to mid-range acoustic guitars.
