ABOUT VOKEY GUITARS

Hi, I’m Zach — the builder, repair tech, and hands behind Vokey Guitars.

I’m a full-time luthier based in Airdrie, Alberta, where I repair, customize, and build instruments for players across Airdrie, Calgary, and Beyond. Whether it’s a simple setup or a fully custom build, everything I do comes from a love of the craft and an obsession with getting guitars to feel and play their absolute best.

What I Do

Most of my day-to-day work is helping players get more out of the guitars they already own.
I offer:

  • Professional setups

  • Refrets & fretwork

  • Electronics & wiring

  • Nut work

  • Hardware upgrades

  • Custom Finishes and re-finishes

  • Full restorations

Every repair is done by hand in my home workshop, with a quick turnaround and direct communication start to finish.

Custom Builds — The Dunham Series & One-Offs

Alongside repairs, I design and build boutique instruments under the Dunham name.
These include:

  • Dunham Ultra — my flagship artist-level model

  • Fully custom one-offs — for players who want something truly unique

  • Dunham StageLine — upcoming streamlined, player-focused production model

I work with select woods, premium components, and finishing techniques that make every build feel personal and purpose-driven.

How I Got Here

’ve been repairing and building guitars for years, but earlier this year it was time to jump into full-time work after realizing how much joy and purpose I get from helping musicians feel connected to their instruments.
Vokey Guitars started as a passion project and quickly became something much bigger — a place where players bring their trusted gear and leave with something that feels brand new.

What I Believe

A great guitar should inspire you.
It should feel effortless in your hands.
It should make you want to pick it up again the moment you put it down.

That’s why I take a player-first approach to every repair and every build — understanding your style, your goals, and what “great” feels like to you.

What’s Next for Vokey Guitars

Right now I’m expanding the Dunham line, refining my repair process, and building deeper roots in the Airdrie and Calgary music community.
New models, new finishes, and new artists are all on the way.
