Vigilant Guitars

I can't say enough good things about Trevor, from working creatively with him to design an instrument, to the finished product, which is absolutely first rate and surprisingly affordable. I am a pretty fussy customer too, with unusual ideas and high standards, and we always enjoy exploring ideas and coming up with solutions. The results are stellar!
He's made me a Telecaster neck, and more recently, he built this "Blue Bomber." It's based on a slightly larger Les Paul, with a chambered body and a longer scale (662mm). I have been looking for a fit and feel that would make it easy to transitions from a Maccafferi style instrument (670 mm) to an electric, and this works - and sound great. Really deep, clear and smooth. I look forward to more projects - at Trevor's reasonable prices, that is always a possibility!

I just finished a 4 day build of a Strat which was my retirement gift. What an amazing experience! Trevor was fantastic and coached me through every step of the build, including the specs, the prep, the woodworking, the electronics, and the finishing. I was surprised at how much of the build I did myself, but knew that Trevor would jump in for the very challenging steps. He's great to work with and very knowledgeable! And at the end of the 4 day workshop I brought home an amazing guitar that will give me joy for years ahead. I've played an acoustic guitar for all my life and this is my first try with an electric guitar. So many new songs to learn!

So bottom line... This is an amazing experience and a wonderful gift. I highly recommend that you think about who in your life would love this experience. OK - gotta go and learn another riff!

Thank you so much Trevor!

Trevor made a beautiful table for our family. Great care was put into it, and you can truly see his wonderful craftsmanship. Thank you Trevor!

Trevor was incredible to work with. He finished a custom tele build for me quickly, and regularly updated me on the status with progress pictures. Quality of the guitar is fantastic. Next time I need a custom build I will definitely be back in contact.

Thanks again Trevor

Attention to detail, very knowledgeable, provides timely and punctual replies and picture updates on project details, accommodating and extremely easy to work with. Trevor has done superb routing work, rewiring and pickup installation, and neck angle/bridge position adjustment work on 4 of my guitars, and I couldn't be happier with the results every time I bring something to him. He also helped me with filing a damage claim for a guitar that was damaged by an airline by providing a very detailed and thorough damage assessment and quote for repairs. I plan to continue to bring guitars to Trevor for regular maintenance, upgrades, custom work and repairs. I have also played several of his builds at his shop and at a few guitar stores and they are beautiful well playing instruments
