Berly Guitars is a small-batch electric guitar maker based in Dripping Springs, Texas, operating as essentially a one-person shop in the greater Austin area. The brand specializes in vintage-inspired, lightly relic'd instruments built with boutique components — Lollar and Curtis Novak pickups, Mastery bridges, light nitrocellulose finishes, and PLEK-processed setups — sold at prices below traditional custom-shop offerings. The builder has crafted hundreds of guitars over roughly a decade and a half of building, with output in the range of 100 to 125 instruments per year.

The lineup centers on familiar bolt-neck silhouettes — a T-Style, an S-Type, and an Offset — alongside two original designs, the Berly Bird and the Berly Bass. Instruments are often spec'd with aged nitro finishes, gold-foil or single-coil pickup combinations, and hardware from makers like Mastery, Schroeder, and Descendant, giving them a distinct boutique-shop character while remaining rooted in classic Fender-style construction. Berly guitars are sold direct and through a handful of dealers, and the brand has a following among players active on community forums like The Gear Page and TalkBass.

Berly has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Matt Noveskey.
