Balaguer offers instruments across several tiers: the USA Series for domestic builds, the Select Custom series allowing customer-specified configurations, the Standard Series for more accessible pricing, the Heritage Series for one-off fully custom instruments, and the Signature Series developed in collaboration with endorsed artists. Core model lines include the Espada (a versatile workhorse available in six-string and baritone versions), the Diablo (a sharp, modern S-style built for speed), the Thicket (a T-style offset), and the Growler. The company also designs and manufactures its own pickups, including the Hypernova humbuckers.

Balaguer has built a strong following in the alternative, metal, and post-hardcore communities. The brand's roster of signature artists includes Beau Burchell of Saosin (The Woodman BB), Travis Miguel of Atreyu (The Growler & Thicket TM), and players from bands such as Sleeping with Sirens, The Acacia Strain, Four Year Strong, Every Time I Die, Silent Planet, Spiritbox, Yellowcard, Knocked Loose, Erra, and Rivers of Nihil.
