Fine custom guitars
Based in Montreal, I specialize in making “flat top” acoustic and jazz guitars.
Passionate about woodworking and the fascinating complexity of acoustic guitars, I strive to deliver the best of my know-how in each of my instruments. Guitar building is for me like a confession that awakens multiple emotions, nourishes me, inspires me and accompanies me throughout the construction process.
The choice to work alone allows me to master all the steps necessary to create a high-end instrument with a unique sound signature. I seek to produce powerful, dynamic and sensitive instruments, capable of transporting the musician and his audience into a sound experience rich in emotions.
Working method
Design
Each model is born on paper in the form of a technical drawing. This allows me to accurately predict all the dimensional parameters which will directly influence the final sound, aesthetic and ergonomic rendering of the guitar.
Materials
Depending on the sound and aesthetic objectives sought, the choice of the right combination of woods is crucial in the final rendering of the instrument. All the materials I use are chosen, stored and then used with care.
Making
Different manufacturing methods will be used to carry out each step with efficiency and precision depending on the type of instrument made, its materials as well as its ergonomic and aesthetic characteristics.
