House Guitars

I've been busy trying to wrap up some 2020 projects and tidy up loose ends around the shop. It hasn't left me as much time for social media as I'd like, but rest assured there will be lots of guitar content coming soon! In the meantime some detail shots of one of the last builds to be wrapped up in 2020. Love the red purfling and Cocobolo binding on this one! #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair #awenstands

Morning sunlight catching the back of the Walnut GA. This 25-26" multi-scale will be available soon @paramountguitars . Message for a full list of specs. It's a beautiful guitar! #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair #awenstands

Slope D in Ziricote/Adi Spruce. The last guitar to leave the shop in 2020. Beautiful sunburst by @vancouverguitarfinishing . In 2020 I completed my first 2 Ziricote builds. Why did I wait so long to use this wood!?! Probably because I was scared off a bit by the stories some builders tell of it cracking. During the build process I soaked the back/sides in thin CA glue twice to stabilize the wood. I've heard of this method from a few other builders and it appears to work very well. More Ziricote guitars coming in 2021! #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair #awenstands

I think my favourite thing about this little clip is watching the shavings pile up! #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair #awenstands

The other Dred in progress is this Rosewood cutaway. What a nice set of rosewood! Rim almost wrapped up on this one, and the back should be on by the end of the week. Tops and necks here I come! #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair #awenstands

Took the bandsaw apart this week for a good cleaning and some maintenance. Put on a new blade and man does it cut nice! I should really do this more often.... #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair

My low tech method of binding fretboards is simple but effective. Part of a run of fretboards that were recently finished. The is particularly one is going to @tigermilligan #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair

Looking at my photos I see that I've been taking progress shots of my current builds, but forgetting to post them! This one is from a few weeks back. Before the back braces are glued on the backs get a cross grain spruce centre strip. All 4 of these guitars are cutaways, but the cutout portion doesn't get cut till later in the process. #houseguitars #jhouseguitars #guitar #acousticguitar #customguitar #handmade #luthier #handmadeguitar #fingerstyle #flatpicking #boutiqueguitars #custommade #madeincanada #guitarsofinstagram #paramountguitars #yournextguitar #bouzouki #guitarrepair
