John Marr
Our newest guitar - The Ron Hynes Songwriter has been a hit right across North America but nowhere as much as in Ron's home province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Still it was a wonderful surprise to wake up to news that we made the front page of the St John's Telegram. Thanks to Josh Pennell for a very flatering article.
The headline evokes images of King Kong and Fay Wray but in this case the Guerilla is Ottawa's hip cultural zine (www.getguerilla.com) and the Naked Lady is, of course our Tom Rush guitar. She's been building a pretty strong fan base so it was no surprise when Tony Martins, Geurilla's editor wrote to tell us he really liked the one he bought. What did surprise us was that he also wrote a review of the guitar. All we can say is WOW...what great validation.
We couldn't figure out where all the additional hits on our site originated until we followed the links to the referring URL. We found GearPatrol.com - a cool site dedicated to what's hot in guy stuff.
Twice within the last few weeks one Silicon Valley's premier web sites, Techcrunch.com, has written about MacKenzie & Marr Guitars. We're nothing if not suckers for praise so it's especially nice to have the go-to web site for breaking tech news say we're an example of ecommerce done right.
