Garrison guitars are great... there is no surprise that a "Rush" was made to endorse these awsome acoustics!

lolligagger said:I found the guitars for the most part did feel somewhat stiff and blocky in hands, as opposed to vibrant, light responsive and resonant. Of all Garrison guitars I played in all the different music shops, only one or two really struck me as having a great sound, and they were not even the higher-end (price) models.

Interesting...Kenmac said:So I look it over a bit before I start to play and it does look like it's a well made guitar but one thing I saw on a sticker in the soundhole had me a little concerned. I see the phrase "Made in China". So I'm guessing they're assembled there?

I do know that Griffiths branded electrics are made in China (except for the custom units they build in house). The Garrison acoustics were assembled in a local facility here, and as far as I know they still are. I haven't been paying that much attention to be honest.
The Garrisons I've played sounded nice, but I agree the Normans were a little nicer (Griffiths used to carry Norman also, BTW, and Godin/Seagull for a while).
Guitarsam said:3 years ago, bought a Garrison G40 i believe, on sale. It's the glosssy one with spruce top and sapele B/S. Dont remember exactly the model. Ended up returning it the next day for a Taylor 214. The garrison sounded dead, didn't have enough dynamic range, and just sounded very stiff in general. I tried medium strings, new light strings, but didnt' help. Just couldn't warm up to it, and after taking it back, thought the Seagulls more cheaper were nicer. Anyway, after comparing between seagulls, garrisons, ended up with a taylor 214.
garrisons were nicely built with nice materials however, but just not for me.
