What Gavilan is known for
Levi Perry spent almost two decades in the guitar business and became a Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop before starting Gavilan. He designs and builds every guitar himself. The Miramonte on our wall is his offset: an alder body, a neck joint carved away so the top frets are easy to reach, and a Lollar '63 Jazzmaster and J90 pair.
Buying a Gavilan from us
Gavilan sells only through its dealers, and Lauzon Music is one of them. Every Gavilan leaves our bench set up and ships insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, with no duty on US orders.
