Becker Guitars is a small custom instrument shop founded by luthier Dan Becker, which began in the mid-1990s as a basement repair operation in Massachusetts before expanding into a full-time builder of electric guitars and basses. In 2006, Becker partnered with luthier Ryan Martin and relocated to a larger shop in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where the duo focused on one-off custom instruments marketed under the collective name ElectriCandyland.

The brand is known for unconventional body shapes, exotic tonewoods, and vibrantly hand-dyed finishes, an aesthetic Becker has described with the portmanteau "psychadeligance." Alongside fully bespoke commissions, the shop has offered lower-volume production models such as the GhostRider and HeadHunter series.

Becker instruments have circulated mainly through the jam-band and improvisational rock scene. Reported players of Becker builds include Jake Cinninger and Ryan Stasik of Umphrey's McGee, Chuck Garvey of moe., Marc Brownstein and Jon "the Barber" Gutwillig of the Disco Biscuits, and Larry LaLonde of Primus.

Becker has 7 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Violins, Tuning, and Violas.
