Fidelity Guitars is a boutique builder based in Cambridge, UK, where luthier Matt Oram handcrafts electric guitars and basses inspired by the catalogue and department-store instruments of the 1960s and '70s, reimagined with modern playability and hardware. The range includes the offset-styled Stellarosa (developed in collaboration with Marc Ransley of Mojo Pickups), the Double Standard, the JB bass, and the Lite I and Lite II models, alongside the Stellarosa Lite Bass and Thundermaker Bass.

The brand has a growing catalogue of signature instruments built in partnership with working players, including the J. Willgoose Esq. Stellarosa (Public Service Broadcasting), the Richard Dawson JB, the Josh Hayward JB (The Horrors), the Tim Walters JB Lite I, and the EERA Stellarosa Baritone. Pickups are often voiced with Dynasonic- and Rickenbacker-flavoured character rather than standard Fender-style choices, giving the instruments a distinctive tonal identity.

Fidelity has developed a reputation in the UK indie and alternative scenes for its visual aesthetic — pastel and nitro finishes, chrome pickguards, and retro-futurist styling — paired with hand-finished necks and boutique-level build quality. Instruments are sold direct from the workshop with a deposit scheme, and the brand is frequently covered in UK guitar press such as Guitar.com.

Fidelity Guitars has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 6 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Electronic. Notable users include J. Willgoose, Esq., Dave Grohl, and Jeff Tweedy.
