About Cithara Guitars Inc

Our Story

Cithara Guitars is a Custom Guitar Shop located in Hamilton Ontario, forty-five minutes west of Toronto. Cithara Guitars offers a full line of crafted acoustic and electric guitars, as well as repairs and restorations. Our customers also enjoy the experience of designing and building their custom guitar one on one with the luthier through the hands on clinic.

Sith-air-ah

The kithara or cithara (pronounced sith-air-ah) was an ancient Greek musical instrument in the lyre or lyra family. In Modern Greek the word cithara has come to mean "guitar".


 The cithara was a professional version of the two-stringed lyre, as opposed to the simple lyre, which was a folk-instrument. The cithara was primarily used by professional musicians, called Citharodes. 


To represent the name, Cithara Guitars is proud to offer 5 models named and themed after Greek Gods and Goddesses: Zeus, Aphrodite, Hades, Poseidon, and Apollo. 


Dan Clark, owner and luthier at Cithara Guitars in Hamilton Ontario.

Head Luthier

Daniel Clark, founder of Cithara Guitars Inc. graduated from Mohawk College in 2011 with a Diploma in Applied Music. Always having had a love for wood working, Daniel pursued that passion through guitar building. In the summer of 2012, Daniel attended the LADO School of Lutherie where he studied under the guidance of Master Craftsman Joe Kovacic, founder and CEO of JK LADO and Company.


Once graduating from the LADO School, Daniel incorporated Cithara Guitars later that year. Having the training and guidance from a true Master Craftsman, Cithara Guitars now produces beautiful instruments with craftsmanship comparable to none.
