Description
Handcrafted in Québec
Short scale. Immediate feel.
Every Lewis guitar begins with carefully selected materials, thoughtful design,
and the time required to build it properly.
The Minnow in Champlain Red is finished in light-aged
nitrocellulose lacquer. The aging is restrained and intentional, adding familiar
character while allowing the red finish and craftsmanship to remain the focus.
An anodized pickguard adds a clean metallic contrast to the finish
and gives the instrument a distinctive, purposeful look.
Built one at a time in our Québec workshop, every Minnow is
shaped, finished, assembled, wired, aged, and professionally set up by hand.

The Minnow Platform
Compact proportions without a small-guitar feel.
The Minnow combines an alder body, maple neck, and ebony fingerboard
with a 24-inch scale length, 9.5-inch radius, and Light C neck profile.
The shorter scale creates slinkier tension, easier bends, and an immediate response,
while the balanced body remains comfortable seated or standing.
Lewis hand-wound pickups are paired with CTS controls and Orange Drop capacitors.
Key hardware, including the Softwater Pontoon bridge, control plate,
and toggle plate, is designed and made in-house.
This instrument also features a broken-in neck feel, giving the neck
a smooth, familiar character from the first note.
