The OG story:
Built from Rocky Mountain Douglas Fir sourced from decommissioned and
demolished Southern Alberta Grain Elevators.
This beautiful (and plentiful) reclaimed timber would already have been
hundreds of years old when harvested by a logging industry that had not
yet realized the benefits of protecting Old-Growth forests. This wood
endured Southern Alberta's infamous and intense (often over 100km /
hour) Chinook winds for another 90+ years as landscape dominating iconic
structures. It seems criminal not to find ways to keep this timber relevant
and electric guitars allows people to appreciate it's glory while maximizing
some of it's most exemplary qualities. Not only are guitars in our
'Weathered' finish Old-Growth Fir pieces of local 'lore; they are gorgeous
and affordable hand made instruments with a hard and tight grain that is
very light in weight. They are highly resonant, producing loud, complex
(and unique) acoustic tones that amplify beautifully with hand wound
pickups designed specifically for them (by Pegcity Pickups).
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.
This is your opportunity to own a quality hand built boutique guitar as well
as a piece of history.
