B&G Guitars

Founded by expert luthiers Eliran Barashi and Yotam "Kiki" Goldstein, along with entrepreneur Avi Goldfinger; B&G is a small guitar manufacturer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. The company crafts instruments that accurately capture the magic of vintage guitars from the mid-20th Century - lovingly referred to as the "Golden Era". B&G aspires to create the best sounding instruments on the market - perfectly well-balanced, unique and original in order to ignite the passion in your playing!

B&G splits its guitar manufacturing between Israel and the Far East. The brand's 'Private Build' models are crafted in Tel Aviv, while their 'Crossroads' instruments are built in China and feature Korean electronics. B&G's Crossroads series guitars promise almost the same levels of feel, tone and finesse offered by their handmade Private Build models, but are just a fraction of the cost.

There are some subtle differences of course, but with any Crossroads guitar - you're still getting an exemplary instrument that will stand the test of time. In fact, B&G's Israeli luthiers have travelled several times to their Chinese factory and personally trained the builders there - to ensure that every detail of the product meets or exceeds their expectations.

In B&G's own words: "Great lutherie is not really about the country of manufacture, as some people seem to get hung up about. It is about building techniques, economic scale, and raw materials."
