[mplpost] Canadian Guitars

[woodway]

Hi, all-
    There was a batch of Larrivees in 1971 (yup, that's right) in a dreadnaught style, and Terry
Jones of Perth County has one: Brent Titcomb, Bob Carpenter, David Bradstreet and Paul Mills had the
others (correct me if I'm wrong!)- very wide, flat fingerboards and some of the first guitars with
that "tight" Larrivee sound, I think. Terry's is still in action and sounds great with the Twelfth
Fret pickup in it. A big, demanding Cadillac of a guitar to play but it pays you back! What was the
connection between Bruce Cockburn and Larrivee? Didn't he get everybody on the handmade guitar
bandwagon around then?
