[mplpost] Canadian Guitars

[Ben Sures]

I would like to second Padddy's vote for Peter Sawchyn.I have had mine
since 94.I have an RF model (Roy Forbes).Susan Crowe has one as well.They
are beautiful very even sounding guitars.I have compared mine to many
others and in my opinion is one of the finest handmade guitars on the
market.
