Bunting is a boutique electric guitar builder founded by Yaniv Loria in Israel. The small workshop handcrafts instruments one at a time, using a mix of traditional and modern woodworking techniques, with guitars finished by hand in oil and shellac — an approach Loria has cited as being inspired by 17th-century European instrument-making traditions. The workshop operates as a collaborative team, with luthiers including Guy Shapira, Tai Villeval, and Stav Eskenazi contributing to the builds.
The lineup centers on original designs that draw on classic electric guitar shapes without copying them outright. Models include the Melody Queen (an offset available in Jazzmaster- or Telecaster-style appointments), the Alice (a shorter-scale T-style), the Willow (a hollow body), the Amarok (a single-cut inspired by Les Paul-style bursts), the double-cut Jackal, and the Spiro. Each guitar is built with hand-wound pickups and high-end hardware, and customers are typically guided through spec choices via a consultation process before the build begins.
Bunting has drawn coverage from guitar media including Guitar Player and Guitar.com, and its instruments are stocked by select boutique retailers such as Chicago Music Exchange. The brand's reputation centers on merging vintage-familiar tones with contemporary ergonomics and aesthetics, aimed at players looking for small-batch alternatives to mainstream production guitars.
Bunting has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Blues. Notable users include R.J. Ronquillo.
