Is that the guy who was on the cover of AcousticGuitar not too long ago? . . . . plays a Godin Multiac?? . .

I read some of the article, and wondered what he sounded like . . .

If this IS the same guy, he USED to be a long time Ovation player, but recently switched to the Godins . . .


edit:

It IS him:

John;
Most GuitarCenters (do they even HAVE them in BC?) have recent back issues of AG. I have a subscription. If by chance you CAN'T get a hold of one, e-mail me your address and I'll mail you my old one (one less thing for the RecyclingBin).
