Custom Guitar Commission

$125,000 CAD · One-of-One · Estimated Completion: 6–8 Months

This is functional art - and it is not for everyone.

Each instrument is created for the rare individual who sees a guitar as more than an instrument.

It is a commissioned work of art, conceived and handcrafted for one person. Every material, detail and decision is intentional. No two commissions are alike, and no commissioned design is ever reproduced.

There will only ever be one.

Each commission begins with a blank page and is developed around the individual who will own it — their vision, style, story and preferences.

From the first conversation to the completed instrument, every element is considered specifically for the commission.

The Commission

Private Design & Consultation

A one-on-one collaborative process to develop the concept, specifications and character of your instrument.

Exceptional Materials

Carefully selected woods, recycled skateboard material and specialty materials sourced specifically for your guitar.

Premium Components

High-end pickups, electronics and hardware selected specifically for the instrument and your playing preferences.

Bespoke Details

Custom inlays, engraving, graphics, finishes and meaningful personal elements can be incorporated throughout the piece.

Handcrafted Construction

Each instrument is individually designed and handcrafted in our studio, with the time and attention required to create something truly exceptional.

No production line. No duplicate.

A True One-of-One

Your commissioned design will never be reproduced.

Its combination of materials, details and design will remain exclusive to you.

The Commission Process

1. Begin a Commission — $25,000 CAD

A $25,000 CAD commission deposit secures your place and begins the private design and development process.

This stage includes consultation, concept development, engineering, material selection and sourcing.

2. Design & Approval

We work together to develop the final instrument, including its design, materials, hardware, electronics, finish and bespoke details.

Once every element has been established, the final design and specifications are presented for your approval.

Nothing enters construction until the design has been approved.

3. Final Commission Payment  $100,000 CAD

Following approval of the final design, the remaining $100,000 CAD commission balance is due in full by wire or bank transfer.

Construction begins once payment has been received and cleared.

4. The Build

Your instrument then enters construction.

Every guitar is built individually, by hand, from the approved design.

Estimated completion is 6–8 months, depending on the complexity of the commission and the availability of specialty materials and components.

Design Changes

The design process is collaborative, and reasonable revisions are included during development.

Once the final design has been approved and construction has commenced, requested changes may result in additional costs and/or an adjustment to the completion timeline.

Any additional costs will be discussed and approved before additional work is undertaken.

Commission Terms

Because every instrument is created specifically for its owner, the commission deposit becomes non-refundable once design and development have commenced.

Following final design approval and payment of the remaining commission balance, the commission is considered final and construction will begin.

Once construction has commenced, the commission cannot be cancelled or transferred without prior written agreement.

Final specifications, materials and components will be documented and approved before construction begins.
