My COMMITMENT is to build individual instruments to the highest possible standards using the best materials available and never take any shortcuts. To me, building individual instruments means taking the extra time to make the most of each instrument, bringing out its own voice. Building this way takes a tremendous amount of time but the results are worth it. Part of the guitars made in Canada directory. Products:

Instrument making is an exacting process that involves a clear understanding of structure and acoustics in relation to the physical properties of wood. With this in mind I personally carry out each step of a Sawchyn instruments construction, from selecting the wood, carving and voicing the top, to polishing out the finish and setting the action. This personal attention ensures a high degree of detail is present in each instrument I build. Products:

In addition to Mandolins, all guitars made in Canada feature high grade, solid woods throughout, stainless steel frets, Waverly tuners, a 25.5″ scale length, bone nut and saddle (long “through” drop-in saddle design, choice of adjustable or solid truss rod, and custom cast pickguards. From there, each model will have its own specific features, most of which can and will be custom tailored to the player’s needs, and as a player myself, I will help you along with each decision to ensure we both reach or goals.

What gives these guitars made in Canada their singular tone — so remarkably, room-slayingly loud; so rich, so complex and tasty — is actually the same thing that makes them straight up the most comfortable guitars you’ll ever play. It all goes back to Al’s original napkin sketch of the signature 4G body style: The lower bout was larger, but the bridge was positioned further back, taking maximum vibrational advantage of the larger surface area, while at the same time effectively moving the neck and headstock closer to the player.

| Otis A Thomas Violins and Guitars – For the last thirty years, I have been working as a violin and guitar maker at my home here in the hills above St. Ann’s Bay on Cape Breton Island in Canada’s Nova Scotia. Although I specialize primarily in violins and secondarily in guitars, I have on occasion also turned my hand to mandolins, harps, and various other stringed instruments.
My instruments are all individually crafted, one at a time, with care and respect — based on original designs, but built with an eye to the deep traditions that inform the luthier’s art. Products:
