Here is the version on my 1978 Wren. I guess you'd call it an "early bird"

David, three things...
  1. Stunning work coming of your workbench (kudos)
  2. Marvelous imagery and graphical presentation (obviously another one of your passions)
  3. Two can't happen without number one occurring ()

A controversial thread earlier this year suggested American made guitars were the best. However, when you see this guitar and the latest Peggy White build I think Canada might have something to say about that.

I really can't say how much this guitar tickles my fancy. Stop posting photos David, I'm turning green.

There is certainly no shortage of great luthiers all over the world. Every time I attend a guitar show I'm just so inspired by the international diversity in guitar building!

Great photos as always. What a killer guitar.

In terms of luthiers, that is a ridiculous thing to try and categorize. Just look at this forum, the worlds top guys and gals from all over!!!! There is no "best" country for guitar builders. I will say Canada has some amazing builders to be sure including David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
