Again, do yourself a favor and check out the website of Joseph Yanuziello.  You will want to visit him at the Handmade Guitars Showcase along with all of the great luthiers who will be displaying their instruments in conjunction with the Toronto Jazz Festival.

David Wren

Check out the Wren Guitar website--you will be glad you did.  David will be among the elite luthiers participating in the Handmade Guitar Showcase.  Not only that--he takes some pretty cool photos.

Alastair Miller

Xaver Guitars

This dreadnought has a sitka spruce soundboard sporting a dramatic tobacco burst, with stunning bubinga back and sides (also bursted). The mahogany neck and bubinga veneered headstock is bursted as well. The Laskin-style armrest makes this guitar very comfortable to hold. Fast action makes it a pleasure to play.

Linda Manzer

Not that many years ago people were saying, "Wow--that's a really nice guitar--but I don't know about buying from a Lady Luthier."  Today the Ladies are producing some of the top guitars--and I might add, the most sought after guitars available.  When you visit the Homemade Guitars Showcase--be sure to chat with the Lady Luthiers--and tell them you saw their work on Jack's Blog.

Chris Lounsbury

Chris will be at the Handmade Guitars Showcase.  Chris is from Hamilton, Ontario and his guitars are available at a very reasonable price.  Check out his website.  Oh, and yes, he is a student of Sergei de Jonge.

Grit Laskin

What do you say about William 'Grit' Laskin.  In the world of Luthiers, Grit is everybody's hero.  Check out his website, and visit him at the Handmade Guitars Showcase.
