Bruno Guitars is a small Japanese instrument maker based in Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture. The brand was established in 2016, growing out of a long-running local music store, and operates as a low-volume workshop rather than a mass-production builder. Each instrument is finished by hand, with particular attention paid to relic and aged finishes.
The lineup centers on a handful of original electric models, including the TN-295 semi-hollow electric guitar and the TELEBIRD bass, alongside hard cases and a small line of effects pedals such as the BOD-1 overdrive and BB-1 booster. The pedals and accessories are designed to complement the company's instruments rather than function as a separate product line.
Bruno emphasizes the tactile, ownership-focused side of guitar building — bespoke aging techniques, individually finished bodies, and details intended to be unsuitable for high-volume production. The brand's reach is largely domestic to Japan, with sales handled directly through its workshop in Gunma.
Bruno Guitars has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Funk / Soul and Jazz. Notable users include Toshiki Soejima.
