Creations
It’s more than a guitar.
It’s a Michel Pellerin work of art.
Michel Pellerin’s creativity and talent as a guitar maker know no bounds. No matter how challenging and complex the task, Pellerin never fails to impress customers with instruments made with meticulous care, skill and precision. What’s more, he knows how to match the various species of wood to produce a rich and unequalled sound.

Custom endgraft
Each Pellerin guitar is different and so his decoration. At first, we think together of a concept to integrate some distinctive and/or personnal elements. You tell me your design taste, and I find the perfect way to express myself following your inspiration.
Side soundport
This popular feature is the best to hear what the audience is hearing to from his perspective , in front of the guitar. It is like playing with a sound monitor in front of you. Without this, you should play in front of a wall to have the same effect.
RS Thumb bevel
Roger Schmidt, from Brickhouse Guitars, thought of this feature to help roll-over your thumb to play some complex chords with your five fingers.
All credits to him
"Tuxedo" neck
The black of the neck puts more emphasis on the rest of the guitar while adding a classy style. Your guitar at a ballroom.
Blackened Soundboard
A timeless classic.
And why not add a distinctive semi-cutaway?
Pearl inlayed logo
Each Pellerin logo, whether in mother-of-pearl or abalone, is carefully hand-cut and inlaid with precision. The devil is in the details.
Custom inlay at the 12th fret
According to the design established at the beginning, Michel is inspired to create personalized 12 fret inlays for each instrument.
"Manzer" Wedge
Invented by guitarmaker Linda Manzer, this progressive thickness body concept adds unparalleled comfort to the playing. It simulates playing on a shallow guitar, without affecting the sound, the tone nor the projection of the instrument.
Venetian Scoop Cutaway (Recurved)
Inspired by Nick Benjamin's design (UK) , this semi-cutaway makes a melted transition between the full guitar shape and a Venetian-style cutaway. An interesting ergonomic option minimizing sound compromises.
"Sunburst"
This color shift called "sunburst" can add an extraordinary visual richness to the instrument. Available in 3 tones (as shown) or in simple faded shading.
Back strip(s):
Although purely aesthetic, the back strip(s) can easily enhance the natural beauty of the wood
Side soundport
This popular feature is the best to hear what the audience is hearing to from his perspective , in front of the guitar. It is like playing with a sound monitor in front of you. Without this, you should play in front of a wall to have the same effect.
Unique pieces:
Some components come from unique pieces or are offered in very limited quantities, like this salvaged flamed western red cedar.
Custom tuning machines:
Each guitar comes with the best tuning machines for precision and accuracy. The Gotoh 510 are my first choice, but if you wish to push customization further, the Alessi tuners (Italy) as shown in this example, are exquisite. Here, the client opted for a base made of carbon fiber.
Left-handed model:
Each model can be offered in its left-handed version, at no additional cost.
