I'm watching CBCNW now and the special about the making of the guitar....
show is over -- wow - what a beautiful piece of art...sounds damn fine too.
a piece of a 112 year old wood seat from Massey Hall is included. it's quite a unique story and guitar...
Tomorrow in Ottawa it will be played at the Canada Day festivities on Parliament Hill.

7:30 pm to 10 pm
Come celebrate an evening of rising stars, along with some of Canada’s favourite performers, as they inaugurate the Six String Nation guitar.

Featuring:

African Guitar Summit (Ont. / B.C.) — World music
The Six String Nation guitar
Stephen Fearing (Ont.) — Folk
Jean-François Breau (N.B.) — Pop
Aselin Debison (N.S.) — Celtic, pop-rock
