Busy wrapping up the last few orders before we head over to guitars plus. Crazy to think there won't be many more "bench shots" in a week's time!

This teredo sigil will be heading out to Australia next week!

Helping Kurt out at Guitars Plus later today.

You can find this relic Tele on display for those who want to try out a real Canadian guitar.

I chose this instrument because it couldn't have been made without several local craftspeople.

Dean wyatt supplying teredo spruce for the top
Tony di gregorio in winding the pickups
Glenn Taylor doing the finishing and relicing
Thermalwood Canada for the obsidian fingerboard
And yours truly for putting it all together!

Come down for some Christmas shopping and check it out!

About as custom as it gets!

Customer designed, control layout, colour burst, inlays and headstock design. This one took a while to put together but it was well worth the wait!

Plum tree fingerboard
Abalone inlays
Local carved maple burl
Just a few of the unique specs on this monster.

Our Story

Vigilant Guitars specializes in handmade boutique electric guitars and woodworks. We pride ourselves on using quality and sustainable woods while creating one-of-a-kind instruments coupled with top notch customer service. Vigilant started as guitar lesson/repair service out of Shawnigan Lake, BC but following several luthiery courses and plenty of hands on training, Vigilant evolved into a custom luthiery business in 2016. We specialize in building solid body electric multiscale and extended range instruments using natural wood finishes and locally or ethically sourced building materials. The “Vigilant” name was derived from an attitude towards building guitars and overcoming the obstacles that life inevitably produces. Talent can be impatient and luck eventually runs out but as long as you continue to work hard and stay Vigilant, life’s challenges can always be overcome - it’s this approach that is the core to our identity and will continue to serve us well. We strive to always be pushing ourselves to develop the next technology, the next design or the next idea that will give our guitars and the musicians who use them a cutting edge in the ever evolving music industry. Our main focus is to meet or exceed our clients expectations and provide them with years of customer service thus making Vigilant a Canadian brand synonymous with quality.
