I have a Legend Guitar Company 12 string, Sitka top and maple B/S that is amazing. It was a NAMM model that was made by some ex Larivee employees who started the company. Hand built, hand carved necks, no CNC just a nice solid guitar.
Here's some info on the company, they were out of B.C.
"The Legend Guitar Company was formed in the latter days of 1998 by master luthiers Jeff Sigurdson, Michael Soper, and Jesse Brace with the able assistance of business partner and renowned guitar broker, Robert Brown.
Jeff, Michael, and Jesse bring nearly 40 years of combined experience in larger guitar shops to the design and building of their own handmade, high-end acoustic guitars. Their specific goal was to create vintage sounding instruments with the performance characteristics of more modern designs at a price that was within the reach of a much wider audience. The combination of silky fast action, deliciously balanced, highly resonant response, as well as classic yet functionally rich beauty, makes these limited production instruments simply irresistible."
