This Garrison G10 was my daughter’s first guitar. She kindly loaned it to me for this photoshoot. The wood used for this instrument is a thing of beauty. The black binding is actually part of Garrison’s unique one-piece bracing system.

Garrison was founded in 1999 and operated out of a plant located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. A key feature of Garrison acoustic guitars was their innovative active bracing system, which was made of a single piece of fiberglass composite. The company was acquired by Gibson Guitar Corporation in 2007, which halted production of the Garrison product line in 2010.
