La Mancha (Spain) make really nice acoustic guitars.
-
Question from an Ibanez RG series lover - how do the Mayones, M-Tone and Vigier compare? Love me some long neck action and looking to expand my collection.
Also, I'd say Ibanez, but they're Japanese...
-
An if we want to support our Canadian friends: Godin. Excellent guitars
-
I looked for "m tone" and it seems to be a guy in Oregon
-
Warwick and Sandberg have a few made in Germany bass guitar lines that are pretty sick. Also Duesenberg - sooo beautiful
-
-
After all this years I have to find out that it actually is an intrument.
-
Mayones certainly makes my sandwich sing.
-

I love this community because I'm learning a lot about where stuff is from. Case in point, I was going to suggest Ibanez and found out it's Japanese lol
-
I've played an Ibanez SR 300 bass on stage for years. I tried many others but nothing feels or sounds as good to me.

Daemoness, Blackat, Mayones, RAN

This is exactly what we should do for now - post every single post both here on Lemmy and on Reddit and we should constantly remind people that they have to switch to Lemmy!
-
They will ban you for it now.
-
What is reddit?
-
The Reddit mods seems to not like Lemmy a lot: https://lemm.ee/post/57901024?scrollToComments=true

Hagström is great, especially the Super Swede is on my favourite list.
-
Excellent guitars. Made in china, but still very good.
Speaking of excellent chinese guitars; Eastman acoustics are incredibly good.
-
Playing a ultra swede for years, no complaints :)
-
-
Solar.
Yes, they also have "Made in Europe"
-
I love Hohner brand guitars. Made in German, simply great sound and experience overall.
-
Strandberg
-
I've always wanted one of their 7 or 8 strings with the fanned frets but that price tag is steep
-
I've played one once in a shop and it was amazing. If I can ever afford to drop that much money on an instrument I will be going right to them

What EU brand would I be looking for if I wanted to buy a decent beginner friendly hollowbody?
-
Hagström viking. Hagström alvar.
But they are only an EU-brand, not actually made in EU.
-
Honestly I can warmly recommend the Thomann house brand, Harley Benton. The dirt cheap, entry level ones are on par with beginner models from known bands, and if you splurge a little more and get one of their nice ones, you'll have a really fine instrument for the price of the beginner model in the known brands.
They're German and the reason it's so cheap is they have 0 layers in the pipeline, they "manufacture" and sell directly. Most of their own brands punch well above their weight, but you should still look at the reviews etc for your specific item of choice.
-
Thomann's house brand Harley Benton has some good guitars. Not sure about hollowbody guitars, but I have a semihollow guitar from HB that I play quite a lot and has good build quality.
-
-
Skervesen guitars are amazing build quality
-
I wonder which one of these I can buy, locally, here in the US. I never looked specifically at non-US brands until now.
