My electric guitar is a Swedish Hagström Ultra Swede, I always wanted to get a genuine Gibson Les Paul but never could afford one. So I ended up with the much cheaper Ultra Swede, have been playing with it for two years and I’m more than happy with it.
I also have two Finnish Landola acoustic guitars from the late 60’s - early 70’s, a 12-string “Colorado” model and a 6-string “Buffalo”. Both sound excellent, especially after I made new bone nuts and saddles to replace the original plastic ones.
Manson guitars are from the UK.
Also there are several Japanese guitar companies - sure they’re not European, but at least they’re not American. Examples would be Ibanez, ESP, Yamaha.
My last two guitars were Ormsby’s, from Australia.
A bit pricy, bit there is Strandberg Guitars which AFAIK are made in Uppsala, Sweden.
Most of the current production is made in Indonesia, some special editions in Japan. Still, great guitars.
Framus is awesome. Good thing that my favorite Canadian is also a framus endorsed artist!
Furch anybody? Czech guitars, 1A quality!
Nik Huber has a great reputation. Karl Longbottom also. Oswald is a great choice too. Taran acoustics, Lowden also of course. That’s just off the top of my head.
I love my PJD custom shop Woodford Elite. They are a small UK based shop.
Japanese, but tokai make great guitars.
Yamaha for beginners!
Feels like this meme needs to use someone other than an american…
I have a Lakewood acoustic, made in Germany, I’m incredibly impressed with. It’s a custom shop with a AAAA European Spruce top and Cocobolo back and sides. Lakewood Guitars
I use Yamaha bass. I think I won’t change it anytime soon.
They’re Canadian, but reasonble quality…
After all this years I have to find out that it actually is an intrument.
Mayones certainly makes my sandwich sing.
