About Us

Vancouver's Boutique Guitar Store

Bluedog Guitars offers fine hand-built acoustic and electric guitars from international & local BC builders who we consider amongst the best luthiers in the world. Bluedog has been named one of the world’s Top 100 Music Stores 6 years in a row by NAMM!

Besides our absolutely unique inventory of fine hand-built guitars, what really sets Bluedog apart is the ability to play these instruments side-by-side: most shops carry at best one or two of these brands.

There's absolutely nowhere else in the world you can play a Lowden beside a Kevin Ryan, then compare a Santa Cruz Guitar, a Bourgeois and a Huss & Dalton or a Furch, a Michael Dunn with a Shelley D. Park.

Bluedog also has an incredible selection of vintage and fine used guitars available on consignment from Martin Guitars, Gibson Guitars, Taylor Guitars and more - usually in pristine mint condition (what can we say, we have the best customers in the world!).

And if you're not sure what you're looking for, give us a call at 604-971-2893: we are really, really good at matchmaking folks with their dream guitar!
