I had an opportunity to visit Claude’s workshop in late 2016 when I had the opportunity to play a couple of his guitars and get some insight as to how he built them. I could not believe the level of detail he put in his workmanship and the passion he had in talking about building his guitars. Then in 2017 he invited me to work with him and to build my own guitar. What an experience!! I can honestly say that I have never worked with someone with such an eye for detail as he walked me through each phase of the build. With the level of quality, it is of little wonder as to why his guitars produce the sounds and sustainability that they do.

It is an honour to be able to continue working and learning with Claude in his shop and witnessing more and more of his guitars being played at various venues in the area.
