At NOW Studio, the in-between matters.
Feel free to chill in our lounge, it’s part of the rhythm.

GuitAtelier is a guitar setup and repair shop founded by Olivier René De Cotret.

A guitarist, collector, and sound technician, Olivier developed his craft over years of maintaining his own instruments and learning the wisdom of wood and the art of guitar building from his father.

In October 2023, Olivier opened GuitAtelier, and has been working with Montreal’s musicians and players passing through. Olivier is also a founding partner at NOW Studio, where GuitAtelier is based, overseeing the studio’s sound design and equipment.

On the other side of the lounge, you’ll find GuitAtelier, where your instrument can get some TLC.
