In 2001, owner Bill Nash established Nash Guitars with the goal of building quality electric guitars and basses free of the inherent tuning problems, tonal weaknesses and poor manufacturing standards prevalent in guitars being mass-produced by larger manufacturers. Already recognized as being among the best-playing, best-sounding ‘pre-distressed’ guitars available, Nash Guitars embody the unique ‘retro cool’ factor of some of the most revered electric guitars and basses from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
