Not sure if any of you had ever heard of a guitar brand called Garrison. I had not.
But, I had another empty guitar hanger on the wall and I just can't deal with that so I took this in trade locaally from a fella I've done quite a lot of business with.
Garrison was headquartered in St John's Newfoundland, Canada. I'm not sure if they had manufacturing capabilities there or not. This one was designed in Canada but built in China. It's actually a fine playing and sounding guitar.
It has an:
-Solid Englemann Spruce soundboard
-Koa back and sides (likely laminate but I'm not sure of that)
-Rosewood fingerboard and bridge
-Mahogany neck
-Gold tuning machines with KOA looking buttons
-Both the fingerboard and body are bound
Like I said, it sounds really good and I'm quite happy with it. Plus, now once my D 25 and DV 52 get back to me from Tom Jacobs, all my wall hangers will be filled and that makes me happy. (yeah, I know it doesn't take much to make me happy).
Here's a few pics.
