Here’s what people are saying about Bounsall guitars…

Andy is a top notch luthier. He puts a lot of thought and pride into his creations. He is very knowledgable in his craft and is a master at milking every bit of tone he can out of the woods he uses. The results speak for themselves in his wonderful works of art.

My guitar came today at dinner time. The best way I can express our feelings on seeing and hearing it is to order another. I am so impressed by the craftsmanship of your guitar. Thanks again.

I’d been looking for a baritone acoustic for some time when, unexpectedly, one popped up in the on-line classifieds. It was an absolutely gorgeous, hand-built, one-of-a-kind Bounsall Guitarworks baritone. And I can tell you, this guitar does not disappoint. So well thought out in every detail and skillfully executed. The guitar is comfortable to hold and play while producing those deep, satisfying lows felt down to the bone. You can not help but to hum along and write a few lines in the process.

Andy is friendly and knowledgeable across topics, including build materials, pick-ups, amps and beyond. If you’re interested in purchasing a thoughtfully imagined, carefully crafted, bespoke acoustic or electric guitar, from my experience, you can not go wrong with Andy Bounsall of Bounsall Guitarworks.

From the very first discussion about the plans and requirements for the guitar, it was clear that Andy cared deeply about delivering a finely crafted instrument that exceeded expectations. His guidance, recommendations and collaboration on my vision throughout the build helped lead us toward a beautiful guitar that will be cherished for decades to come. This is, arguably, one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen. Moreso, thanks to his master level craftsmanship and his approach of letting the wood speak for itself, Andy has managed to create a guitar that literally sounds as stunning as it looks. Thank you Andy.

If you’re reading this review then I imagine you’re considering a custom built guitar. I would not hesitate a moment in trusting Andy to make your dream a reality. Andy is easy to work with. He has the experience to understand exactly what ‘sound’ you want and the knowledge to translate this elusive sound into a finished instrument. My recently completed semi hollow body electric sounds fantastic and puts a big smile on my face ever time I play it. Thanks Andy.

Having a custom guitar crafted by Andy was a unique and enjoyable experience. He was more than generous with his time and expertise when discussing both the initial design and progress of my build. At a great price for the quality, I was able to get a one-of-a-kind, fully custom instrument that already had a story by the time I picked it up. Above all, it sounds phenomenal

Andy is a true craftsman and perfectionist. His continuing interaction with me as he constructed the guitar was greatly appreciated. Also appreciated was the posting of numerous photos allowing one to witness the progress of that construction. I’m certain that I will thoroughly enjoy playing the guitar for many years to come.

Hey Andy! I just bought one of your wonderful guitars and I have to thank you personally for making such a beautiful instrument! I’ve been playing for almost 20 years and I have yet to come across an acoustic as unique and stunning as this one! And the SOUND! Omg what a little gem!

Absolutely a work of art! This is truly one of the prettiest guitars I believe I have ever seen.

I’m thrilled with my new Bounsall. I can only put it down long enough to take a picture. Thank you so much for building the guitar I could only dream about!

One of the most individual looking, sounding, and feeling guitars I’ve ever played in my life.

Wow, wow, wow! It looks stunning!

I have played two different models of Bounsalls and loved them both. Great sound and playability. Attention to detail is everywhere.

Andy Bounsall makes damn fine guitars. Well worth the visit to his shop in Ottawa’s west end.

These are truly beautiful guitars!

Beautiful sound. The resonance, and the way it digs into the bass notes. Awesome sounding guitar.
W. Wells, Petawawa, ON
I like that you are building unique looking instruments. A nice change from all the Martin & Gibson inspired builds we see.
