Provenance

Why this one made the wall

Satin black, and then the artwork, which is the reason this guitar is called the Black Corp. A stencil of the flower thrower sits on the lower bout, and along the treble side, running up toward the neck in plain capitals, is the line NEVER LET A CORPORATION TELL YOU WHAT THE RULES ARE.

The guitar underneath is as direct as the message. One humbucker at the bridge, one volume knob, a vibrato, and nothing else: no tone control, no selector switch, no pickguard. Guitars get built this way on purpose and the people who want one want exactly this, the pickup wide open and the amp doing the rest.

Maple neck and maple board with black dots, Gotoh 510 bridge, black hardware throughout, and an El Cabron headstock logo in gold on a tinted peghead.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
