Garrison guitars

I own a 3 Garrisons. A G-10ce with Birch back and sides and a Flame Birch top, just beautiful. I could not find it in any catalog as a G-10. I however found it as a custom order in a catalog.

The second one is a G-20 which I added a Fishman Sonotone Pickup to.

The third one is, for all intents and purposes, a AGLE-1, BUT it is marked LE-1, with no AG prefix. It also doesn't have the Buzz Feiten tuning system markings on the back of the headstock. It has been said on different sites that 100 AGLE-1's were made for the US market, and 100 made for the Canadian market. Were these guitars labeled different for each market? Was one labeled AGLE-1, for one market, and LE-1 for the other market? OR, was this made in Canada before having them manufactured in Asia, (China?)?

I put this guitar into the hands of a seasoned musician. He played it for about 20 minutes, then stopped in mid play and said, Wow! He could not believe the resonance. Now I am taked with finding him one for sale, as I refuse to sell him the one I own.

Anyone here have anything constructive to say concerning the difference in the labeling of this guitar?

I have 3 Garrison Guitars;

G10-CE, Birch Top (April 22, 2002)

G20, Cedar Top (November 14, 2002)

G30-L, Spruce Top Left hand (January 18, 2002)

The G series used all solid woods, GABS Bracing, and Buzz Feiton Tuning systems.

Can't find a catalog with the G10 in it. Very difficult to find out why they dropped its production after only one year. (2002)
