Emmet McCusker has been making musical instruments since 2005. Initially an electric guitar maker, he switched focus to acoustic guitars in 2009. Emmet has studied with David Freeman and Tom Ribbecke, and also learned from Robbie O’Brien and Carlos Everett. Current acoustic instruments include OM, 000, and Parlour sized guitars. Cutaways are available in Florentine, Venetian and combination styles. His studio is located on the edge of a wild ravine in the Cowichan Valley, British Columbia, overlooking a Coho salmon spawning stream. 

Emmet’s background in electronic and structural engineering and appreciation for the fine arts come together in each instrument he makes.

Studio tours are welcome.
