Basone Guitars

General information

Vancouver's best guitar store! Fine Custom Electrics, stringed instrument repair, amp & pedal repair, and best prices on major brands!

Basone was estabilished in 2004 in Gastown, but luthier Chris Bas had been working in the guitar manufacturing business since the mid nineties.

At our shop, located in Vancouver's Main Street district, we offer everything to make your current guitar better, such setups, crack repair, paint jobs, fret work, pickups + installation, hard-to-find parts, fingerboard scalloping, and more upgrades.

As far as our custom electrics go, we only use quality handpicked woods, such as figured Big Leaf Maple, Honduran Mahogany and Brazilian Rosewood. Every individual electric's neck width, scale, and radius is done pertaining to each model, offering options that you can not buy off the shelf. Design, function, balance, and tonal flavor come together in these amazing instruments. Just take a look at our Custom Instruments page.

The combination of high-end tonewoods, electronics and hardware make the guitars of the Basone family feel, sound, and look second to none.

Basone also offers services for the Movie Industry, such as prop guitars for stunts and guitar replicas.
