Brands
Type of instrument is the primary way to browse this site, because a Stratocaster is a Stratocaster whoever builds it. Brand is the second axis: a useful shortcut once you know which house style suits you.
In the catalogue
Fender
1 instrumentUSA · est. 1946
The company that defined the solidbody electric and the electric bass. Its acoustic Classic Design line applies the same value-first thinking to flat-tops.
Squier
2 instrumentsUSA / Indonesia · est. 1982
Fender's affordable arm. Squier builds Fender-designed shapes to a budget, and the Affinity Series is the entry point most players actually start on.
Epiphone
1 instrumentUSA / China · est. 1873
Gibson-owned since 1957. Modern Epiphones share Gibson's shapes and, on Masterbilt-tier instruments, genuine USA-made Gibson pickups.
Ibanez
2 instrumentsJapan · est. 1908
Thin, fast necks and flat fingerboards. Ibanez owns the shred and modern-metal end of the market, from the budget GIO line up to the Prestige series.
Jackson
4 instrumentsUSA / Indonesia · est. 1980
Pointed headstocks, compound-radius boards and locking tremolos. Jackson has been the metal player's shortcut since the Randy Rhoads era.
