YANUZIELLO ELECTRIC GUITARS

My electrics are built with a completely hollow body, total instrument weight is approx 5.5 to 6.5 lbs.depending on the woods and hardware specified.

This hollow body, combined with my custom made Fralin pickups, produces a tone that’s very resonant and full. The pickups are fastened directly to the top so the pickups, the top, and the hollow body all work in concert to give you a tone that’s sweet and woody and very versatile.

I handbuild all of my electric instruments here in my shop, including all of the wood and metal hardware. They’re built one at a time, often with input from the customer, so they become very personal, one of a kind instruments. 

I designed the shape of the body and headstock in 1982. Within this format, I offer many options to change the aesthetics and playability of the guitar.

JOSEPH YANUZIELLO

A Toronto native born in 1952, Joseph Yanuziello has spent most of his life living and working in the culturally diverse neigbourhoods of Toronto's west end. 

At an early age, inspired by his father's fearless I can build that attitude, Yanuziello embarked on a lifetime of building and tinkering, focusing on exotic and domestic wood as his material of choice.

After graduating from art college in 1975, he built his first guitar in 1979 while working in a custom design/build cabinet shop. That soon led to self employment, building and designing furniture and cabinets for a long list of commercial and residential clients, as well as building custom guitars for a growing list of musicians.

Encouraged by the demand for his guitars, Yanuziello pursued instrument building full time. Over the years, he has introduced many unique instrument designs informed by the diversity of his client base, and his love of north american roots music.

Yanuziello Stringed Instruments are played by professional and amateur musicians world wide.
