Potvin Guitars
Bio
Potvin Guitars is me, Mike Potvin. I'm a one-man shop building electric guitars in Ottawa Canada since 2008. I had been building part-time for about five years before that, when an "opportunity" to leave behind a career as a high-tech propeller-head presented itself. I jumped at the chance. I love all things vintage, and have a bit of an obsession with muscle cars. I like to build guitars inspired by vintage classics, but I also have some original designs that I'm really proud of.
Potvin Guitars also offers a selection of guitar building templates and jigs. Customers range from hobbyists just getting started, all the way to professional builders interested in streamlining their process. While Mike's main focus is building guitars, this offshoot has allowed him to offer support to the guitar building community that he wishes was available when he was starting out.
