About me:

Six Strings/Sixty-four Pieces/Thousands Of Stories/ The Six String Nation is a movement connecting people from all regions of Canada through music and by sharing our stories. The Six String Nation guitar is at the heart of the movement. The guitar is made of more than 60 pieces that are significant aspects of history and heritage from different cultures, communities and characters from across the country - including one of Pierre Trudeau's canoe paddles, the top of Paul Henderson's stick from the '72 Summit Series, Lucy Maud Montgomery's house, John Ware's cabin, a seat from Massey Hall, the Bluenose II, Maurice Richard's 1955/56 Stanley Cup ring, Louis Riel's schoolhouse and the legendary Golden Spruce of Haida-Gwaii. Visit www.SixStringNation.com for information, the Guitar Explorer, podcasts, photos and blogs from the festivals tour 2006.

    Hello 6SN Friends,

    Just wanted to let you know there's a "Support for Six String Nation" group on Facebook that you might be interested in:

    http://www. facebook. com/group. php?gid=19497645385gid=19497645385

    6SN is facing financial issues that are preventing the original vision from coming to full fruition.

    We can help! If this magical guitar is as close to your heart as it is to mine, why not show your support by joining the group and helping to find some solutions?!

    All the best!
    Lisa C.
