Alastair Miller learned to make guitars in the 1990s with Sergei DeJonge. He went on to work with the DeJonge Guitar company, making acoustic guitars. He then opened his own workshop in Montreal where he made acoustic and electric guitars under his own name. He then returned to Toronto where he opened a workshop in the East end, while also playing guitar with local bands. Alastair Miller's Barncaster electric guitars are made from the original barn-board slvaged from his family's 155-year old barn. Miller also makes banjos, lapsteels, hollow bodys, and custom one-off projects.
