Chris: Another happy customer! While shooting a movie here in Newfoundland, Keifer Sutherland caught wind of our guitars and manufacturing facility here in Newfoundland and was eager to try one out. Bob Taylor, our Artist Relations Manager, met up with Keifer in his trailer on location. All we had at the time was a G-40 prototype with the older, heavier bracing system (no longer in production). He was crazy about it and when he asked how much it costs, Bob turned the question back on Keifer and he replied "About $3000?". Wow! What does that tell you? This guitar retails in the US, with a hard-shell case, for $833.00!!! He wanted to buy it on the spot but when we refused (couldn't sell one of the prototypes), he wanted to borrow it for the rest of his stay here and made us promise to ship him one of the production models!

Nice to get that kind of end user feedback.
