My name is Virgile Pilon and I am obsessed with guitars:
Their tone, their design, their mechanical behavior.
I want you to find not only an instrument that suits you, but a new member of the family that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Blind Guitar is a tribute to the bluesmen of the 1920s and 30s and their instruments.
Their sound has profoundly shaped the sound of Blues, Rock and so many other musical genres.
Each model, each guitar is a direct reminder of this incredible culture and music that has spread throughout the world and beyond, even in the recordings on the Voyager 1 spacecraft that is now sailing outside the solar system.
As a luthier concerned with the sound and quality of his instruments, the original designs have been improved to bring more dynamics and richness to the sound.
I am convinced that the guitar should immediately become an extension of the musician.
It must open up a maximum of possibilities for the guitarist to play and create.
I build each guitar according to the playing style, the affinities and the taste of each musician, with the aim of getting as close as possible to the musician's desires while helping him/her discover an instrument that pushes him/her to new creative limits.
