  • Every guitar is a one-of-a-kind creation — a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and bold contemporary design.
    Described by John Termini of South Shore Guitar Boutique as “a work of art, both visually and sonically, with impeccable playability,” Senez Guitars stands apart for its elegant balance of form and function.

    The atelier’s signature model, Psari, reflects founder William Parent Senez’s fascination with the expressive curves of Antoni Gaudí, combining fluid, organic lines with a distinctly modern voice. By exploring mediums beyond luthiery — from gilding to silversmithing — Senez continues to expand the material and aesthetic vocabulary of the electric guitar.

    “When trying to apply concepts that are not specific to guitar making, I am giving myself the possibility of seeing what it could become.” — William Parent Senez

    “Senez Guitars obviously spark instant curiosity — sleek, unique, and full of subtle, rewarding details.” — Andy Pitcher

    “It’s the most beautiful guitar I’ve laid my eyes on.” — Devin Helfrich

Creation Story: Psari Gold Leaf | – Senez Guitars

In Creation Story: Psari Gold Leaf

An intimate look into the philosophy and process behind the Psari — a sculptural electric guitar crafted from spruce and finished with gold leaf.

Rejecting the idea of the electric guitar as a purely manufactured object, Senez explores form, material, and light to push the instrument into the realm of functional art. Each guitar is conceived as a unique piece — an imprint in time where tradition, innovation, and personal expression converge.

William Parent Senez, a young man with curly hair and glasses, is sitting thoughtfully by a window in a room with a table and a guitar case in the background.

“I’m still at the beginning of my journey, but curiosity keeps me moving.”

  • After graduating, William founded Senez Guitars, determined to move beyond the acoustic tradition toward a new expression in electric guitar making — one shaped by architecture, sculpture, and decorative art. His 2021 creation, the Psari, embodies this philosophy, merging Art Nouveau influences with daring, contemporary form.

    William continually expands his technical repertoire, studying silverwork at L’École de joaillerie de Montréal and gold-leaf gilding with Marie-France Kech — the latter leading to his nomination as a finalist for the Prix François-Houdé (2023). His approach celebrates materials as artistic collaborators, each informing the evolving identity of his instruments.

    Recognized by curator Jamie Gale and invited to exhibit with the Boutique Guitar Showcase at NAMM 2025, William Parent Senez represents a new generation of makers redefining what the guitar can be: a canvas for craftsmanship, creativity, and sound.
