Johnny Cash

This old dude could rock a stage.  I don't think anyone, other than Elvis, had more stage presence.  He was the first to dare to turn his back to the audience--and when he turned around--all he had to do was say "Hello...  I'm Johnny Cash!"

Michel Pellerin

Michel builds great guitars.  I hope to see him at the next Ottawa Guitar Show.  If he has one for sale--someone just might walk away with it.  Isn't that what happened last year?

Hank Jr

This guy's Dad was the Bomb!!  Fill in the blank...  If you don't like Hank Williams, you can...................

1937 Gibson L37

This beautiful, all-original 1937 Gibson L37 was stolen in Portland, OR, this past weekend. Please keep your eyes open for it and send any tips to m145@zipcon.com

John Lennon 75th Anniversary D-28

Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with Adirondak Spruce top.  Be sure to check this one out--they are making 75 so you just might get a chance to see one.

John Knowles

Most of my fingerstyle licks come from John and his Fingerstyle Quarterly.  What a nice tribute to John and his great music.

Ted Astrand

Just now getting around to checking out pictures from the Holy Grail Show.  This piece rather caught my fancy.

Pat Hawley

Danielle with her Pat Hawley guitar

Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon and this old Gibson 12-string have been around forever.  Hats off to Canadian Rock Royalty.

Elvis J-200

Elvis would have been eighty one yesterday.  This guitar, and the suit, were featured in the 50's movie "Loving You."  I would go back to the 50's in an instant.  My Aunt Alice worked at the Dominion store and she could check you out, take your money, give you change and have you on your way much, much faster than the scanners and computers of today.  And of all the things from the 50's that are now dated--this old J-200 is still rockin'.

Xaver Desktop Wallpaper

As you can see, Gerry has been busy.  This Figured Maple Dreadnought is his latest.  And, it has yet to be spoken for.  On behalf of Gerry, please enjoy this Desktop Wallpaper.  And if you need a beautiful maple guitar--this one surely will not be available too long.

Peggy White Guitar

Peggy's latest features Adirondack Spruce on top with gorgeous Indonesian Rosewood back and sides.  All I can say is "Wow!!"

Xaver Guitars

Free Desktop Wallpaper from Xaver Guitars.  Gerry's latest creation, but the bad news is---it's taken.  The good news is, Gerry will make you one just like it.

Elvis's Guitars

I hope these guitars are being played.  If not--I am available.

Happy New Year

All the best for 2016.  I chose to make this my first post for the new Year.  This is not my guitar, I believe this one was made immediately after mine and I believe I know who the owner is--but Peggy or Terry would know for certain.  Beautiful EI Rosewood back, and the top appears to be European Sitka--maybe German or Italian.  Regardless, here's to all the pickers and especially those who have recently acquired a new instrument and to all those who will get a new instrument in 2016.  Maybe I'll be one of ya's.
