Giggles Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi All, Some folks here may know that for several years I have been studying the art of lutherie. Throughout the years I've been very fortunate in who I've been able to train under and in turn have had many a fine musician trust me with building them a dream instrument or maintaining their already beloved precious instrument. I am proud to say Kevin Breit, Ian De Souza, Ryan Myshrall, Carla Gillis, Ben Whiteley and others are awaiting an instrument from "cGc" and Kevin Hearn is already roaming around Lou Reed and BNL gigs with one of our tele-esque instruments. Today we've launched the website. Still in progress but I'm happy we've finally got to the point of getting it up there and thought I would share. Canadian Guitar Company Have a GREAT day everyone!

Jaimoe Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nice job Derrick! Where is your shop - is it on Bloor Street West, same as your address that you listed? Where and when will you be able to buy these guitars? I already have a G&L ASAT Classic (Leo Fender's version of his classic Tele), but if I want to go in a Strat direction, I wouldn't mind checking out your version.

Giggles Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks all... Dave...in a very short while capsule will have a tele and a strat in.. vintage style strat, 2-tone burst, Fralin P/U's with his blend pot. if you want to chat about something completely custom (radius, scale, neck profile etc) then that is possible as well... Also, that bong-bowl thing is wild...while looking for my customary I was considering a change... Cheers, Gawpo Giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is it just me or is that guy smokin from the bowl? good catch is right. Maybe we should be using one of these "bong hits" instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
