In early March 1998, Larrivée Guitars moved to a new 33000 square foot facility in the heart of Vancouver, where 100 highly skilled people in the Guitar industry made 60-72 guitars a day. Much of this production was to accommodate our largest client at the time. On September 1st 2001 Larrivee expanded again, and opened the door on it's new factory in southern California. Ten days later the events of 9/11 occurred. As you can imagine this was not a time for companies to be expanding. The following two years were quite turbulent for the guitar industry as a whole. People where not spending money on acoustic guitars. Almost every major manufacturer was having layoffs - Including ourselves. Production dropped to 35 guitars a day. Over the next two years, Larrivee would go through of number of production changes including: a refocus towards high-end guitar, A redesign of the -03 Series, and the development of the Traditional Series.

Today Jean, his wife Wendy, his son Matthew and daughter Christine all work in the California plant producing the gloss finish guitars. Jean's other son John Jr runs the Canadian plant which produces our satin models.

Since the move, our company has continued to grow. Reflecting this growth, and our continued deployment of leading-edge production tools, we also acquired two new Fadal CNC machines in spring, bringing our total CNC complement up to 8, as well as a Laser cutter. These additions to our factory have allowed us to achieve even higher levels of efficiency and quality control which benefit buyers and players of Larrivée guitars.”

Welcome to Stonebridge Guitars, from one of Europes top luthiers Frantisek Furch. Since 1981 Frantisek has been handcrafting fine acoustic guitars and mandolins, not only under the Furch name, but also for several famous namebrands. Now, Frantisek introduces his guitars to North America and the Western world, as Stonebridge. Taken from the original name for the famous Charlesbridge in Prague, this name embodies the rich cultural history from which these instruments arise.

Direct from Australia and introduced for the first time in North America in late 2006, Cole Clark announces its latest addition to it dealer network in the Ottawa Folklore Centre.
At Cole Clark we also understand the necessity of tuning the vibrating plates of an instrument (the top and the back) as the violin masters through out history
have done. We carve our tops and backs with sound channels to achieve the best possible sound using CNC routing technology for extreme accuracy. The results are instruments that perform like no others.
The Fat Lady series of acoustic guitars, utilize many unique native woods of Australia that were chosen for their distinct tonal qualities 
All of the Cole Clark Guitars are all solid timber and feature Cole Clark’s revolutionary pick up system with the proprietary and patented “Face Brace Sensor”. Simple in its concept and design, the Face Brace Sensor is the first pickup that captures vital sounds and tones created by the face of the guitar. The sensor runs across a large section of the face resulting in a truly live signal that has to be heard to be believed. The Face Brace Sensor can be used on its own or blended with the piezo system under bridge producing the truest amplified acoustic guitar sound available on the market today.
Our design is innovative and beautiful. Our acoustic pickup system we believe to be the best in the world.  No Exceptions.  So listen to the Angel or the Fat Lady and hear how these Australian beauties can sing.
Cole Clark Guitars – Revolutionizing guitar manufacturing – Listen to the revolution!
