I am back from the Montreal Guitar Show. That was a great edition, with so many fantastic guitars, and numerous visitors. I brought 3 guitars, including 2 new instruments : - the "Montroyal", a small 15" archtop made for my friend Zeb Heintz - the "Downtown", a solidbody guitar inspired by the Les Paul Junior

I have just finished two new instruments : - an indian rosewood \"Summertime\" model - a curly koa soprano ukulele They are both available for sale at the shop.

The new website is online. It still needs some touchups. Good visit ... and happy new year !

Here is a really simple tool to help drawing the tuners holes.
