2021 LaCroix Guitars Custom 12-String Bass.
John LaCroix started building custom stringed instruments in 2005 in his shop in Saint Thomas, Ontario, Canada. All LaCroix guitars are hand built of solid tone woods, with no plastics or composite plywoods used in the construction.
A custom 12-string bass was commissioned in late 2018, and it took 2½ years to be completed. This bass was the last instrument that LaCroix completed prior to his retirement in 2021.
