Canadian Custom Shop
Our Master Built guitars are made by our team of Master Builders at our Custom Shop facility in Vancouver, Canada. Every guitar is essentially a custom shop creation with each build being different than the next. The rare and exotic woods; coupled with top shelf components – built by our team of Master Craftsmen, is what make these guitars stand out from the production core line.
Korean Core Line Production Models
Our Korean Core Line build is carried out in 3 steps between Canada and South Korea. The initial phase is carried out in Vancouver, BC, middle phase at our partner facility in South Korea, and final phase back out our shop in Vancouver.

Electric Guitars
All of our solid body guitars, start with a solid mahogany body, and a ¾” solid maple cap, which is then carved into it’s final shape by CNC machine.

Not a chance. One of the key elements in our guitars’ sound and resonance are the solid, non-chambered bodies.
The majority of our semihollow electrics are made out of multi-ply maple laminate, with a channeled maple center block. This excludes our “Heritage Hollow” model, which is built from solid, carved, maple and mahogany and is a true hollowbody.
All of our current production model guitars, are set-neck designs and the necks are “long-tenon”, which means that the neck extends well into the body.
Our electric necks are all made of solid mahogany, which is split into 3 pieces lengthwise, with the center piece reverse grained for greater strength and stability. We do not use any neck or heel glue, or scarf joints, which we consider cutting corners.
We use a C-Shape profile, with a 14” radius on our electrics.
Our Production model electrics, all feature real Seymour Duncan pickups. Seymour Duncan pickups rock…plain and simple.
