"OUR GUITARS ARE MADE BY 'JUAN TERAN' IN THE TOWN OF PINCHER CREEK.
NOT BY A ROBOT IN A FACTORY."
The JP-OG
Our slanted single-cut made from hand-chosen reclaimed Old-Growth Fir (OG).(* See bottom of description or go to our "About Us" section to learn all about our phenomenal and unique OG models.
Rock-solid in every way and available in your choice of the following pickup configurations:
- P-Dawg | 1 x dog-eared P90
- H1 | 1 x Humbucker
- H2 | 2 x Humbucker
- P2 | 2 x soap-box P90
Killer hardware, a 25" scale, and maximum resonance in a lightweight machine ready to do your heavy lifting without breaking your back, or your bank.
The JP has been designed with a custom break angle to give you a familiar single-cut feel but with the stability of a bolt-on neck. Our proprietary 2+4 headstock optimizes string pull and balances tension across the fingerboard for plenty of slink and tonnes of stability while virtually eliminating the threat of 'easy' headstock breakage associated with many single-cut guitars.
With a price lower than that of mass produced American branded models, we are confident that the JP-OG is one of the absolute best values in the electric guitar market, period.
What is 'Weathered'?
OG guitars are non-gloss, fine Nitro spray finished to emphasize woodgrain and texture. These finishes vary slightly in colour intensity from one body to the next, bringing out the exact character of each piece of wood. Bodies are not grain-filled allowing maximize resonance and faster aging; pinholes will be visible, grain will be felt, and the guitar will become more personalized with every sweaty performance.
What is OG?
90+ year old reclaimed Old Growth Fir.
- Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir from decommissioned and demolished Southern Alberta grain elevators.
This beautiful reclaimed timber would already have been hundreds of years old when harvested by a Canadian logging industry that had not yet realized the benefits of protecting Old-Growth forests.
The harvested timber then endured infamous (and relentless) Southern Alberta Chinook winds for an additional 95+ years when it was used to build the iconic Alberta Grain Elevators.
By repurposing this Old Growth Fir into our OG guitar bodies, we are proud to offer guitarists a piece Canadian heritage while keeping this very special timber relevant for generations to come. Having weather-aged to a hard, tight grain while generally weighing in at 7-8 pounds; the JP-OG is highly resonant, producing loud, complex acoustic tones that amplify awesomely.
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.
