Galveston is a budget guitar and bass brand distributed in the United States by V.J. Rendano Wholesale Music, a musical instrument distributor based in Boardman, Ohio. The instruments are manufactured overseas in China and Korea, with much of the Korean production handled by Unsung Musical Instruments, an OEM factory that also builds guitars for a number of other import house brands.

The catalog spans acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, and leans toward an unusually wide range of body styles and novelty builds, including lucite (clear acrylic) guitars, travel guitars, multi-neck instruments, and copies of familiar classic designs. Galveston is most widely recognized in the low-end market for its 12-string basses — Unsung began producing 12-string basses under the Galveston name in 2000, and the lineup grew to include more variants than any other 12-string bass brand Unsung produced, including left-handed models.

Doug Pinnick of King's X has been associated with a signed Galveston 12-string bass. The brand does not maintain an official website, and instruments are typically encountered on the secondhand market through sellers like Reverb.

Galveston has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Acoustic-Electric Guitars and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock and Blues. Notable users include Frederick "Joe" Evans IV.
