After honing his skills for two decades as one of Canada’s premier guitar restoration technicians, Douglas Harrison has burst on the scene as one of the finest custom archtop luthiers in North America. Douglas pushes the boundaries of woodworking to a higher level and squeezes every ounce of tone from each component. These instruments have a power, clarity and warmth of tone that is rarely heard in any archtop. Harrison’s experience as an accomplished jazz guitarist has been invaluable in developing the sonic nuances of this complex instrument.

This is my new favourite guitar. The Falcon is a classic, instantly recognisable instrument, and in black it’s perhaps a bit more eye-catching. It has all the great Gretsch tone and is a joy to play. Priced at $3100 CAD with Gretsch case.

The Gretsch Electromatic models are really exceptional instruments. Taking strong cues from Gretsch’s 612x ‘Pro’ line, these high-quality guitars are completely ready for use at a gig or session. The 512x line has now been discontinued and is now the 542x line. We still have a few 512x models! This one is priced at $849CAD with case.

Based on the 1957 Jet George Harrison bought second-hand in the early 1960’s, this is a wonderful guitar. It’s got a unique sound; DynaSonics don’t really resemble anything else and are one of the best-sounding single coils. Priced at $3500 CDN with tweed case.

This is a really great example of Gretsch production, modern or vintage. Anniversary models are very much the same as 6120’s without binding on the F-holes, neck or headstock, for a lot less money.
