Guerilla Seduced by Our Naked Lady
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.

What did surprise us was that he also wrote a review of the guitar. All we can say is WOW...what great validation.
