Although we’re a new name to the guitar world, the folks behind Hanson Guitars have been involved in creating and manufacturing some of the world’s most respected boutique and mid-priced instruments for over a decade. We are also a top producer of modern and vintage style pickups in the USA.
A little background: first and foremost, we love cool guitars from all eras, countries and companies; some long gone, some still with us. It’s what got us hooked on this industry to begin with. Secondly, as musicians, our collective live performance and recording experience totals over 50 years and spans the 1960s to present day. We’ve had the great honor of working with, recording and playing live with some of the very best musicians in the business, including some true legends of Rock and Roll. It is with this perspective that we set out to design cool guitars with very specific and desirable attributes for feel, form factor, style, and of course sound. Oh yeah and we wanted these to be affordable for anyone.
The result is what you see here on this site, The Hanson Guitar Model Line. Our goal was not to re-create funky guitars from the past, but to create affordable, world-class instruments of today appropriate for any size stage…and we just happen to mix in some elements from some of our favorite axes we have always loved. Take a look around, call us, email us. We’d love to hear from you!
