Bil Mitchell has been designing and crafting high-end acoustic guitars full time,
for 15 years. He is proud to say that this is his only job and his life’s ambition. He began designing and building electric guitars in 1979 and
shortly afterward became enamored with the immense challenges and complexities of acoustic guitar construction.
Bil’s intrigue led to the completion of an intensive study at The Timberline School of Lutherie in Ontario.
For two decades, Bil gained experience and refined his craft, to become a consummate craftsman in the handmade acoustic
guitar market today. His technical skill, artistic design, and attention to detail will guarantee you a one-of-a-kind
custom guitar that you will be proud to own and elated to play!
