Everyone loves the classics, but it can be inspiring to have a guitar with its own unique character and charm. In this , we’ve highlighted seven quirky brands that we think you should definitely check out if you’re after something a bit “different”.
The Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul are timeless electric guitars that have transcended multiple genres across their 60+ year history. They are simply iconic, and it’s no surprise why these instantly recognisable instruments remain best-sellers worldwide. But as music becomes increasingly diverse, and as more musicians strive to form their own identity — some players are looking for alternative, weird guitar shapes and fresh, unfamiliar designs.
That’s why we’ve put together this article; showcasing seven guitar companies that make super-cool, idiosyncratic instruments for the sonically adventurous! Who knows, the next addition to your collection might be from one of these guitar brands boldly going where others do not dare…
Vintage Guitar Man
Baum is a boutique Danish guitar brand that makes super-cool, modern instruments with vintage roots and minimalistic Nordic style! Established in 2015 by art director and designer Morten Bau, Baum combine their love for old-school guitars with Morten’s passion for vintage cars. These elements are seamlessly melded together, while respecting the classic rules of guitar building.
Baum’s new-for-2021 Original Series electric guitars are available exclusively at Andertons Music Co. in the UK. Manufactured in South Korea, these instruments are far more affordable than Baum’s bespoke, handcrafted creations — yet look just as amazing! They’re built to a very high standard and boast a range of premium features; including Roasted Maple necks, proprietary ‘Goldsound’ pickups and ‘Levitator’ roller bridges for rock-solid tuning stability.
Hailing from Japan, Oopegg is a brand new guitar company that has garnered plenty of admiration in its short history. Their flagship Trailbreaker Mark-I model (pictured), aptly-described as a “neo-bizarre” guitar, is an elegant offset that closely resembles ‘60s American and Japanese-made instruments. While a tasteful, vintage aesthetic is apparent — this weird guitar is certainly not behind the times!
United Guitar Corporation
Boasting an array of modern features and ergonomic construction tweaks to suit today’s generation, including a slim and lightweight Alder body that maximises playing comfort, a medium-scale neck for forgiving string tension, high-end hardware from Gotoh/Halon/ Swope, custom-wound USA Magneto Design Lab pickups, and ‘Variety Control Switches’ that allow for innovative tone-shaping — the Trailbreaker Mark-I is easily one of the most versatile instruments we’ve ever seen.
Here at Andertons, we stock Oopegg’s ‘Supreme Collection’ Trailbreaker Mark-I guitars. These are designed in Tokyo and hand-made at the brand’s OEM Guitar Workshop in Nagano — a sacred area synonymous with high-end guitar manufacturing. If you want a completely bespoke Oopegg guitar, you can spec your own Trailbreaker Mark-I via our custom order page!

Vintage Guitars For Fun And Profit
Kauer is another relative newcomer to the guitar world, established in 2008. Founded by Doug Kauer, an experienced woodworker with a huge passion for electric guitars, the brand now has a robust team of luthiers — building instruments in sunny California to the highest of standards. They’re not afraid to use modern tools though, utilising CNC machines for precise model-to-model consistency. They even make use of a ‘Plek’ unit to give each completed guitar a professional, laser-accurate final setup!
Kauer’s stellar lineup boasts a tasteful mix of original and inspired shapes, all brimming with “vintage-meets-modern” allure. Featuring offset, single-cut slab bodies — Kauer’s Starliner Express (pictured) and Korona guitars are pure rock ‘n’ roll tone machines equipped with the finest pickups from the likes of Lollar and TV Jones. Their Banshee model has the distinctive look of the legendary Gibson Firebird, but comes outfitted with a few contemporary appointments that are sure to appeal to touring pros seeking unparalleled performance.
