Here we have a very nice Harrison GB Custom with Sapele Pomelle top, built at Douglas Harrison’s shop in Toronto Canada during 2013. Originally the outgrowth of a guitar custom built for the late Gary Benson, a well known Toronto jazz guitarist and educator, the Harrison GB has proven itself popular with an increasing number of players – including Harrison himself at his own gigs!
Tropical Mahogany
The Taylor Leo Kottke Signature model is now discontinued, but is a fantastic instrument for the finger stylist into the massive sounds of the 12-string guitar. Featuring a a Jumbo body with an Venetian cutaway, using a Sitka Spruce top paired with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck, and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge, the Taylor LKSM delivers a big sound with plenty of articulation, sparkle and projection.

This Morgan Concert was built during 1995, ten years after Iannone’s founding of Morgan Guitars. It shows the clear influences of Larrivee designs, and before him the influence of Edgar Monch. Jean Larrivee initially learned guitar building from Monch during his time in Toronto.

The fingerboard and bridge are Ebony, with Indian Rosewood for the head plate and body binding.
