With 60 acoustic guitar models, and 80 ukulele models our portfolio has something for everyone.

More than 40 markets

Baton Rouge guitars and ukuleles are enjoyed by a global community of guitar players worldwide.

The Story of Baton Rouge Guitars goes back in the early 1980s, when our CEO Gunther Reinhardt Worked as a teacher and realized that there was a big lack of affordable guitars at a good quality for his students.

From there he started creating the idea of establishing his own guitar brand which finally evolved in Baton Rouge Guitars in 1999.

Within more than two decades Baton Rouge grew to a leading Acoustic guitar brand.

Today we offer a wide range of Acoustic Guitars and Ukuleles in more than 40 countries all over the world.

With the variety of our products we believe in the concept of building instruments focused on the needs of a new generation of musicians. for the next generation of artists.

Our success has been thanks to staying true to our original vision of creating high quality products that are affordable for young guitarists by always focusing on innovation and progression. This is what Baton Rouge stands for.

We build instruments for “the next generation” in terms of design, quality, technology and ressources.
