Our point of view on electric guitars and basses is simple and can be summed up in a few words: firstly, the instrument you play should make you forget about its workings, leaving you completely free to think about your music.
We build every single guitar by hand, bestowing our experience and attention to detail, in order to achieve the best tone and the highest reliability for every instrument. A beautiful coat varnish gives this blend a touch of elegance: the best adornment for the instrument you have chosen to give life to your dreams and your music.
Is a prud member of EGB - The European Guitar Builders the association that links all the European luthiers united in the purpose of protecting, developing and promoting the high craftmanship of fine musical instruments building.
Heritage Europe Special Standard H 150 Electric Guitar Original Sunburst Artisan Aged
Was born in 1999 from the meeting between Luca Quiriconi and Daniele Fierro, two luthiers with the same dream: to create instruments without the limitations of industrial production. This desire becomes their commitment and immediately the pair start designing electric guitars and bass models to provide to the best most demanding of musicians. In early 2000 they began to produce totally handmade models. They chose their laboratory-showroom in the heart of Navigli in Milan, the hub of the artsy and cultural part of the town.
Their dream soon became reality: has a large following on a national scale, and includes many top musicians among its customers and their following continues to grow. Ten years have passed since the first guitar was produced, and the team today can achieve faster results and with greater quality.
’s commitment is to continue to build instruments in the same manner and with the same care as today. We reject the idea of following the trend of other manufacturers in reducing costs through unskilled labor at low prices. In the future we will continue to work for the musicians who understand and appreciate the difference in a handmade instrument.We’re kind of spoiled in the US. What I mean by that is we have a lot of great guitars to choose from. We have Gibson, Fender, Guild, C.F. Martin, etc., etc., etc. It can be argued there are almost too many guitars!
Choosing The Best Japanese Guitar: All You Need To Know
What if, however, you live in Europe or the UK? Welcome to the world of European guitars. While there isn’t enough room to talk about every company I have narrowed things down to a few notables.
Framus; Started in Germany in 1946 and originally started as a violin manufacture but as rock ‘n’ roll became more popular they started making guitars. Today they are a division of Warwick GmbH & Co Music Equipment KG that also makes Warwick basses. Notable users have been Paul McCartney, Willi Stich (a.k.a. Bill Lawrence), Jan Akkerman, Earl Slick and Devin Townsend. http://www.warwick.de/en/Home.html
Eko; If Framus were the upper tear guitars Eko were decidedly more pedestrian. Perhaps more famous for being cheap and funky rather than “good” Eko guitars started in Italy in 1956 was more than happy to cash in on the rock ‘n’ roll craze. Eko were notable for making the teardrop Vox Phantom and Mark III guitars. Eko is still around but gone are the sparkly metaflake guitars of the past but in their place are high quality acoustics and electrics with a distinctly Euro vibe. http://ekousaguitars.com
Guitars, Basses & Amps
Vigier; Vigier are a relative unknown in the US market but are well respected in Europe and England. Based in France and started in 1980 Vigier are noted for their 90/10 design (90% wood, 10% carbon) and the use of stainless steel frets. Like Framus, Vigier has also have an impressive lineup of players including Geezer Bulter, Guthrie Govan, Stanley Jordan, and Gary Moore. http://www.vigierguitars.com/index.php
Hofner; You can’t talk about European guitars without mentioning Hofner. Besides making the infamous “Beatles bass” Hofner makes a wide range of stringed instruments and the Verythin 335 style electric. Starting in 1864 Hofner is still based in Germany.
Burns London; I don’t know any guitar that screams “swinging London” more than Burns London. Starting in 1959 Burns London were a cheap alternative to Gibson and Fender and found a ready champion with Hank Marvin. Granted, the Burns London guitars have their own sort of funky appeal. Think of them as the Vauxhall Velox of the guitar world.

Nik Huber; Perhaps one of the best known European guitar brands Nik Huber are known for their painstaking approach to guitar building, great sound and jewel colored finishes.
Fibenare; Stepping out and doing something different Fibenare not a yet another Gibson, Fender or PRS clone. Fibenare are unusual because they are based out of Budapest Hungary and have their own artistic flair. Despite their “arty” look these guitars are extremely well made and are amazingly comfortable to play. http://www.fibenare-guitars.com
