Not Your Parents' Guitars

Not Your Parents' Guitars

Ever think about how strange it is that the bulk of brand-new guitars are based on designs from the 1950s and 1960s? Instead of picking up the "same old, same old" instrument that's been played for decades, start your own history with a guitar that breaks from tradition!

Some of the guitars featured in this guide still have their roots in iconic designs. The classics may always stick around -- but what about future classics? While "boomer bends" can be played on any guitar, the guitars you'll find here embody the spirit of wanting something new and unique -- which can be enjoyed by anyone, playing any genre.

Take a look through this list to find a guitar that you might become your signature!
Semi-traditional shapes with modern updates
High-performance features like flatter fretboards, high-output pickups, and locking tuners make up this group of guitars. These guitars are perfect if you're looking for something just a little off the beaten path that can deliver a huge palette of tones.
