My new guitar

Hey everyone! Stoked to find a Tribe about one of my greatest loves, acoustic guitar. I work at the local guitar store in Nelson B.C., and after 2 years of some fine axes passing through my hands, I finally made my choice.

My new axe is a Garrison G 20 cutaway, w/ the Fishman 4 pickup. It has a finished solid cedar top, mahogany neck, and birch sides and back. Other features are the Buzz Feiten tuning System and a crazy "Griffiths Active Bracing" system - an injection molded interior brace that is visable at the back of the guitar. It has a really unique voice, and just explodes with huge projection when played through a p.a. @ a club. At first I was a little sceptical about all the "tech", but so far I have 2 to admit it all works, despite it's unusual features.

It's also Canadian (insert joke here) built in Newfoundland, and i always like to shop "domestic". Almost settled on a Seagull mini jumbo, but the neck profile on the Garrison suited my wee hands better.

I'll post some pictures soon...

    As the owner of two Canadian guitars (a laravee and an Art of Luthiery mini-travel guitar), I commend your decision to go Canadian.

      Larevee's are amazing, built in Vancouver and really sweet sounding. A & L's, like anything built by Godin, are great as well. Their whole line are the best sellers in the store....
