What Drives Me and Why it Matters

I’ve never owned a Tele that truly felt right. Some came close, but there was always something missing, the tone, the resonance, the weight, the feel.

After years of searching for the perfect one, I decided to build it myself. What began as curiosity turned into an obsession, not to replicate the past, but to fulfill what was lacking.

Now, every guitar I make carries that pursuit of perfection. I believe guitars should inspire the moment you pick them up. They should feel like home, like an extension of yourself. That’s why I pour everything I have into each instrument, building them one at a time for players who demand more.

These guitars have a story. Here’s how they’ve become part of someone else’s, and how they might become part of yours.

Get Your Hands on One


Almost every guitar I’ve built has been passed along through word of mouth. That’s how I like it. These guitars aren’t for everyone; they’re for players who’ve been searching long enough to know what they’re after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Order FAQ

How much are your guitars?

T-Style Starts at $4999 USD

S-Style Starts at $5249 USD

Thinline T-Style Starts at $5449 USD

1448-S Starts at $5449 USD

How much is the deposit?

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to begin your build. This secures your spot in the schedule and covers initial material costs.

A second 25% deposit is due when I start the build process. Both deposits are non-refundable.

When do I pay the balance?

The remaining balance is due upon completion. We allow a 15-day grace period on payments. If payment isn’t made within that window, we’ll provide written notice, and if 7 more days pass without payment, the order may be cancelled at our discretion.

Can I make changes after I place my order?

Yes, but once you’ve signed off on the final build specifications, any changes will incur a $100 administrative fee per change, plus the cost of the requested modification.

What’s the approval period?

When your guitar arrives, you have 48 hours to inspect it and decide if it’s right for you. If you’d like to return it during that time, it must be shipped back in the original, as-new condition using the same shipping method. Once inspected, we’ll issue a refund (less return shipping). If the guitar shows signs of use, a 15% restocking fee may apply.

Note: Orders with custom options not listed on our standard price list (such as non-standard neck profiles, pickup configurations, or custom finishes) are not eligible for the approval period or returns.

Who pays for shipping?

The customer pays for shipping, and its invoiced separately once the guitar is packed. We handle packing and arrange shipping through our trusted carriers. We strongly recommend purchasing insurance, which we can facilitate, though it is your choice whether to do so.

What about taxes, duties, and tariffs?

All guitars ship from Ontario, Canada. Buyers are responsible for any taxes, duties, or tariffs charged by their own country. For U.S. buyers: guitars built in Canada qualify as CUSMA/USMCA-compliant goods and are duty-free, though state or local sales taxes may apply and are the buyer's sole responsibility.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Every Lewis Parker Guitar comes with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner. Normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, or modifications by third parties are not covered.
