Eleanor was my Grandmother’s name…
It was Christmas of 2009 when I reached under the tree and picked up a suspiciously lightweight gift. Inside was a certificate for music lessons from my grandmother. From that moment on, my love for music and the guitar took root and never faded. Now, through Eleanor Guitars, I aim to honor her legacy by crafting instruments that feel like home and inspire you to create, write, and share your music with the world.
Like many builders, my journey began with a simple project—assembling a guitar from a purchased neck, a standard body shape, and off-the-shelf pickups. It wasn’t long before I felt the urge to build something truly my own. That pursuit led to the creation of the Sheffield II: a guitar designed to outplay anything from the big manufacturers while delivering vintage tones with unmatched character.
Now I want bring your vision to life—crafting a guitar that fits your style and an extension of your musical expression. Crafting your perfect guitar begins with an idea.
Your Idea Built to Perfection
The guitar is more than a tool, it’s an art piece that reflects your personality and style. The first step is to design what you want. In this stage key details such as the shape, pickup configuration, bridge selection, and controls are determined. Each guitar is first modeled in 3D and then cut using a CNC machine, this ensures that each component fits together perfectly!
Your Personality
Any colour or shape that you want, enough said.
Unmatched Tone
Each guitar comes with pickups wound for you. I have standard pickups that I love the sound of, but if you’re looking for something truly unique, I can work with you to build pickups that inspires you to write more music!
Reliable Wiring
Nothing is more frustrating than a problem that you can’t see. I use high quality components and take my time to ensure the electronics will last a life time! Each guitar comes with copper shielding to get rid of any unwanted interferences.
One Builder
All Eleanor guitars are proudly designed and crafted by myself, Nick, in the culturally rich town of Fredericton, NB. This is my hometown and it brings me joy to build a brand here. I cannot wait to build your dream guitar, seriously, this is fun. Contact me below!
