– OUR STORY –
āWhere Modern Design Meets Vintage Inspiration.ā
Our goal at Balaguer Guitars is to build instruments thatĀ translateĀ your creativity in the truest way possible, no matter what approach you take to playing. We want to offerĀ you the instrument of your dreams, built for you the player, and for a reasonable price. Weāre able to achieve this by building relationships with some of the best production facilities in the world, and by working with like-minded partners who prioritize quality and service over all else.
The Standard Series is builtĀ in Indonesia to our exact specifications at a factory that maintainsĀ ethical and fair labor practices, and is purpose-built to provide professional-grade specifications for all players. Our Select SeriesĀ is handcrafted in South KoreaĀ and includes additional premium features, specifically chosen to elevate each modelsā individual design.
TheĀ Select Custom Series begins on a foundation of our design and is then customized by you the player into an instrument that is uniquely yours. Hand-built by a select team within theĀ custom shop in South Korea, these pieces retain our highestĀ standards of quality and deliverĀ an instrument whose sole purpose is to connect with each player and their own style, whether thatās on the road, in the studio, or anywhere else in between.
The USA and Heritage Series instruments are each designed,Ā built, and finished entirely in the United States. Our USA Series is built in small batches by our own team of luthiers, providing the most premium specifications and greatest attention to detail throughout. With our Heritage Series, each piece is designed as a one-of-one and built with hand-chosen materials by Joe Balaguer himself, to beĀ signed with a unique serialĀ number upon completion. These instruments are meticulously crafted to represent the apex of what we can do, and are both available only in limited numbers.
Our approach to the guitar and what we do is simple ā we loveĀ traditional designs, but feel that there is always room for improvement and interpretation. Versatility, comfort, and consistency are only the beginnings of where we work to improve connection and playability, and are all a part of what makes Balaguer Guitars what we are. We are always striving to design and build instruments thatĀ not only offer premium features, but are also the means for every player to connect and create something truly special.
