Although the real purpose of this Web site will be to showcase the latest acoustic innovations that have resulted in the Erickson Guitars product line, it is also our intention to keep our readers well informed. Many articles, technical papers, and links will be provided for your reading pleasure.Erickson Guitars already makes, or is currently developing accessories for; violins, violas, cellos, string basses, banjos, mandolins, pianos, nylon string/classical guitars, arch top guitars, steel string/acoustic guitars, solid body and hollowbody electric guitars, solid body and hollowbody electric basses, woodwinds, and percussion instruments. Erickson Guitars is dedicated to the search for each instruments pure tonal response. We offer many of these innovative parts on a custom basis. Inquiries are welcome. Are you a Tone Hound?
