We are
Basone,
a guitar company specializing in high quality electrics. Each one of our
instruments is a work of art.
We have
recently opened a new location
in Vancouver's Main Street district. Besides our line of high end
electrics, we also offer everything from repairs, affordable acoustics and
strings, to guitar detailing, accessories, parts, re-finishing, crack
repair, and more. Basone is a Canadian distributor of Germany's
PYRAMID Strings, as well as Brazil's CABRERA Pickups.

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
"Products" and
"Customs & History" pages.

Most
of our guitars, such as the Basone Phoenix and
Artists series are only stained, showing off the
intricate natural patterns of our high quality worldly tonewoods. However,
we do also offer opaque, metallic, candy, sunburst and colour-changing
finishes. The exquisite Basone
Talon is an example of maximum customization, which has lasers and LED
lights incorporated into the instrument, customized body and exclusive
finishing. The Basone Eschaton
also has peculiar features, such as a fully scalloped fretboard, snow
white sunburst and all-gold graphics and hardware.
The
combination of high-end tonewoods, electronics and hardware make the
guitars of the Basone family feel, sound, and look second to none.
Some of
Basone's hype has been attributed to the release of the patented
model "Talon" and "Eschaton" models, the award-winning
cannabis-leaf-shaped
Smoker's Delight, and the
Basone Original, which was featured in
a Budweiser
commercial aired during the SuperBowl '07, followed by a world-wide
radio interview with Basone's luthier
on the station Rock 101.
