Information:
Island Instrument Manufacture was founded by guitar maker Nic Delisle. Delisle previously completed a 2 year apprenticeship at Daddy Mojo Stringed Instruments. The name Island Instrument Manufacture is a response by Delisle to the movement of guitar manufacture overseas. As a counter to this Delisle uses almost exclusively hardware, components and accessories made in North America, often to his own custom specifications.
Island Instruments are hand made in the Mile End Guitar Shop in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). The shop is a collective workspace that is home to a number of acoustic instrument builders including Jeremy Clark of the 52 Instrument Co., Mike Kennedy of Indian Hill Guitars, and formerly, Dion Bews (Dion James) of Dion Guitars. This enables the constant exchange of ideas and information leading to continuous improvements in Island Instruments.
