Sankey Mignonnette - Yellow Cedar Rubio Monocoat
Black Mountain Guitar Co
Michael Sankey has been making musical instruments from his base in Ottawa, Canada since 1997.
Through the creation of over 130 completely unique instruments and over a decade of international exhibitions, he has established himself as one of the worlds’ most experimental and original contemporary luthiers. His work represents a challenge to traditional interpretations of what a guitar can be, yet pays homage to the craft of lutherie through a deep study and appreciation of its history and practice.
Each guitar is one-of-a-kind, and requires a huge amount of research, experimentation, and handwork; an output of less than 12 guitars per year is a guarantee of excusivity. A Sankey guitar may not be for everybody- but each one is for somebody.
Coopered soundboard, made of 5 staves (in the style of baroque English violas da gamba), gamba-style tailpiece. Features my new design for finely adjustable neck angle (also removable).
