A musical quilt, this unique guitar becomes a passionate metaphor for Canada.  The Six String Nation guitar, Voyageur, is made from sixty seven pieces of Canadian history: Pierre Trudeau's canoe paddle is a tone bar, the Grey Nuns convent in Winnipeg-once a classroom to Louis Riel-makes up the back and sides, Paul Henderson's hockey stick from the 1972 Canada Russia Summit Series is a detail on the pickguard, the sacred Golden Spruce of Haida Gwaii forms the top face and gold from Maurice Richard's 1955-56 Stanley Cup ring adorns the ninth fret.  Thanks to a crazed determination to share this guitar and his impassioned vision of Canada with as many Canadians as possible, Taylor has taken the guitar to festivals, conferences, schools and community events, from sea to sea to sea.

It's not often that one gets to hold a living piece of your country's history... the guitar is absolutely alive with history, stories and spirit. =SF= Frankie,
