One Canadian luthier that hasn't been mentioned is Ted Thompson, from Alberta I think. I live way down south in Tasmania Australia and happened across a Thompson guitar in a local music shop and just had to buy it. It is truely a beatiful instrument and the envy of many of my fellow muso's.I know of three other Thompson owners here in Tassie and they are all of the same opinion.
I also have a seagull for band work and that fits the bill well. Good servicable guitar for that kind of work.
