HAND CRAFTED GUITARS

Since setting up his workshop overlooking Halifax Harbour in 2010, Ned Milburn has established himself as Atlantic Canada's premier maker of classical and flamenco guitars. Ned has also become the "go-to guy" for top quality fretwork, setups, and repair for performing musicians and owners of fine quality hand-made instruments... With a history of more than 30 years with the guitar, Ned has performed countless times in public in genres as diverse as classical, jazz, folk, and rock. During the 1990's while working at one of Toronto's specialty guitar stores, his focus grew towards building and repair. During this period, he learned from Canadian guitar building and repair greats including Grit Laskin, Linda Manzer, Sergei DeJong, and John LaRocque. Ned built his first classical guitar under the instruction of Bruce West - another Ontario based master craftsman who builds instruments of considerable power and tone.
