If you are someone who can appreciate finely crafted acoustic guitars and you find yourself in Vancouver, BC, Canada this February (2010), you may want to consider checking out The Canadian Guitar Showcase at Tom Lee Music (929 Grandville Street):
“The Canadian Acoustic Guitar Showcase includes a historical display highlighting the beginnings of Larrivee, Morgan and Seagull, including many old photos, written histories and early Canadian-made guitars. Also included are interesting artifacts such as inlay examples, guitar parts and woods.”1
To find out more about the event, please visit the Canadian Acoustic Guitar Showcase page on the Tom Lee Music website.
Here are links to sites of the guitar manufactures highlighted in the showcase:
It’s worth noting that there are many other fine Canadian acoustic guitar manufacturers. For example, my steel-string acoustic guitar I call Blue was built by Simon & Patrick Luthier. Blue was a fine guitar in it’s time.
