I'll hang onto me 1974 Grit Laskin for at least another 27 years,
thanks.  Pre-armrest, pre-pictures on the headstock.  Definitely *not*
pre-super sound. http://www.williamlaskin.com

There's also a really fine luthier up in Timmins named Mario Proulx.  If
you're into flatpicking especially, his guitars are rich and loud and
hold their own nicely in a jam session.  http://www.proulxguitars.com

Was Orville Gibson a Canadian <grin>?
