Description

‘’Focused on providing professional Lutherie services, my goal is to make unique pieces that vibrate by innovating in a world where multiple factors can affect the conception of a musical instrument. I always aim to build instruments that are very responsive, easy and fun to play, making it easier for you to free your inspirations!’’ - Guillaume Rancourt

''Guillaume’s commitment to excellence, his absolute care, his unrelenting search for perfection and his masterful talent just blow me away. So young and so able combined with deep personal and professional integrity. Just like the the builder Issac Jang, he is a welcome addition to the world of lutherie and will be for years to come.

He, like Isaac, is a builder who understands that beauty and masterful craftsmanship are not enough to make a fine guitar. The guitar itself only serves its true purpose if it works as a musical tool in the service of a player. Of course, it should be impeccably and thoughtfully made with talent, care and skill. But at the end of the day the instrument itself must join the player, open his or her heart and inspire a feeling of joy.” - Craig Snyder, CR Guitars, NY. USA
