| I've noticed my productivity goes down drastically
on days when I review guitars such as this remarkable handmade jazz guitar
from Douglas Harrison. Hey ... how can you be productive when you
can't pry your hands away from the subject matter! This is simply
one of those guitars that keeps the joy in playing music ... it just makes
you want to play ... and play and then play some more!
Mr. Harrison has been a full time luthier for
over 25 years and balances his passion for building jazz guitars with his
busy schedule as a performing jazz guitarist. As any of you out there
who have gigged professionally knows, you come up against all kinds
of performance situations out there! With this in mind, Douglas,
in conjunction with talented Toronto mainstay Gary Benson, designed
a model that would handle any jazz situation ... and the "Model GB" was
born!
Anyone who has followed Mr. Harrison's career
has seen this GB model in many different custom configurations ... spruce
top or maple, mahogany body or flamed maple, fully hollow or
with sustain block, 6 or 7 string, custom finishes, floating
bridge or tunematic, classic unadorned fingerboard or split-block
inlays, ebony or rosewood appointments and any pickup configuration
you could imagine! This exceptionally comfortable player-friendly
guitar model really lends itself to customization! |
