If you appreciate a finely crafted all wood instrument that feels, sounds and plays beautifully, then a Peter Cox guitar is for you!
For the past 14 years, Peter has been hand building a variety of stringed musical instruments for the amateur and professional musician.
These instruments are often custom built to meet the requirements of the individual musician using local wood varieties - when possible. Each instrument is built individually—no two are the same. Furthemore, we install SIT strings on all guitars, mandolins and Celtic instuments ordered by Bow Valley Guitars.
All custom guiars orders require a 50% non-refundable deposit. Please contact Carl for more.
