Carlson custom USA guitars, great quality and value without comprimise.
We are commited to only the HIGHEST QUALITY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, and you can tell when you play on a Carlson instrument. Our products are made under the strictest quality control, and our woods are aged naturally to ensure strength, consistancy, and tone. Kiln drying (a large room that has hot air pushed through to dry the woods) is not as favorable as the NATURAL PROCESS since Kiln dried instruments tend to warp and the woods are weaker from the sudden lack of moisture. WE DO NOT KILN DRY OUR WOODS! Since kiln dried woods are inferior to NATURALLY DRIED WOODS, our instruments have major advantages (SUCH AS OPTIMAL TONE AND DURABILITY) over our competition! Carlson instruments are also made with innovative and ergonomic design, which gives the musician some major advantages ...
Canvas Guitars:
A sense of deja vu may cross your mind the first time you look at the Canvas models, but they actually are a brand new and completely original family.
Imagine taking all your favorite guitars and taking the best parts from each, then redesigning around those areas to make something new that seems old -- but feels right.
Who says there nothing new under the sun?
At Canvas Guitars we have been diligent students of guitar design; we are all about the electric guitar and guitar manufacturing.
A word about our styling: While other manufacturers pursue a flavor of the months approach to design, much like the recording industry continually trying to recreate last months hit single, Canvas Guitars are built with a timeless sense of classic modern style. So they’re not only built to last, they’re built to outlast the fad of the moment.

James North, Luthier and Guitar Maker:
The loveliest quality of music involves its modulation upon the theme of time.
Songs eerily consolidate the memory, making obscure chemical connections in the brain. They conjure up moments out of time. They reconstitute things long gone, to the point that smells and images and a precise forgotten ache of the heart return hauntingly for a moment. Songs, playing in the mind, become the subtlest shuttle across the years. The dramatization that occurs in that moment is intimate and utterly private. By constructing history's most beloved plucked string instruments, James North brings the luthier's craft to its highest evolutionary state. With these thoughts, dreams and images in mind his guitars, lutes, harps and mandolins display the most sensitive tonal qualities, disciplined craftsmanship and are always respectful of traditional shapes and designs.
Jean Larrivée first became interested in the guitar as a teenager, trying to play Duane Eddy licks on an $18 guitar. At twenty, with no other musical training in his background, he made the decision to take up a serious study of classic guitar. Four years into this study, he was introduced to German classical guitar builder Edgar Mönch, who was then working in Toronto. Jean expressed interest in learning how to build, Mönch invited him to visit his shop, and so began an apprenticeship.
Jean built his first two guitars under Mönch's tutelage before setting up a workshop in his home, where he continued to build and study. The energy which had fueled nightly five hour practice sessions was now directed toward learning to construct instruments. He had found his life's work.
From 1968 to 1970, Jean continued building classic guitars in his home shop before moving into his first commercial space, the second floor of a theater. His work brought him into contact with many people involved with Toronto's thriving folk music community. At their urging, Jean built his first steel string guitar in 1971 ...
