Gallery: Montreal Guitar Show, part 1

Joe Coffey

In our first Montreal gallery, we check out the electric side of the show, which was new this year, with a few acoustics thrown in for good measure.

You could say Linda Manzer is an all-star of custom luthierie. Not only her works played by artists like Pat Metheny, Bruce Cockburn and Santana, but they’re also on display at places like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her latest project is a limited-edition run of 30 recreations of the first guitar she made for Pat Metheny in 1982, which he eventually named the Linda 6. Known as the Metheny-Manzer Signature 6 (show here) the guitars are handcrafted by Manzer and reproduced with key specs from the original, but updated with some of the innovations that Metheny and Manzer have collaborated on together.
