Old-Growth Reclaimed Fir

What is our OG Series?

Solidbody versions in our T / S / JP & JZ Series guitars made from > 90 year-old reclaimed Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir sourced from decommissioned Southern Alberta Grain Elevators. 

This beautiful (and plentiful) reclaimed timber would already have been hundreds of years-old when harvested by a logging industry that had not yet realized the benefits of protecting Old-Growth forests.

The processed lumber further endured Southern Alberta's infamous and intense (often over 100 km / hour) Chinook-winds for another 90+ years as landscape-dominating and iconic Prairie structures.

To Juan and Troy it seemed criminal for this prize timber to become scrap and / or waste when it could be appreciated for future generations.  Uniquely seasoned (and further hardened) by the elements over time it just so happens to make a fantastic tone-wood.  Building electric guitar bodies seemed to be a perfect fit.

Not only are our OG model guitars pieces of local 'lore; they are gorgeous and affordable hand made instruments with a hard and tight-grain that is very in weight. They are highly resonant and produce loud, complex (and unique) acoustic tones that amplify beautifully with our proprietary hand-wound pickups from Pegcity Pickups, Winnipeg.

​

Wooden grain elevators are an iconic structure that dominated local landscapes since 1895 but the Alberta Wheat Pool discontinued the practice of building them out of wood in 1985.​  This is your opportunity to own a quality hand built boutique guitar as well as a piece of Canadian history.
