Glen Burton is an American musical instrument brand owned and distributed by Bridgecraft USA, a family-owned manufacturer and wholesaler based in Chatsworth, California. The Glen Burton name was trademarked in 2005 (by Glenn Burton Libby) for use on guitars, amplifiers, drums, and music stands, and the line has since grown to cover electric guitars, bass guitars, acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars, classical guitars, and mandolins, along with amplifiers and accessories.

The brand focuses on the entry-level and beginner segment, with instruments built around familiar body shapes — Strat-style and Les Paul-style electrics (such as the GE2011 AXE and GE320BCO), offset-body electrics like the GE39-JG, dreadnought and cutaway acoustic-electrics (the GA101 and GA204 series), the GB150 SG-style electric bass, and A-style mandolins like the MDL-A1. Bodies are typically basswood, with rosewood fretboards, and many models ship as starter packs with a gig bag, strap, and tuner.

Glen Burton is positioned as a value-oriented alternative to more established brands, sold through retailers like Amazon, Reverb, Guitar Center, and various independent music stores. It is generally regarded as a beginner and student brand rather than a professional-tier manufacturer, with most discussion in the guitar community focused on it as an affordable first instrument.

Glen Burton has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses, Combo Guitar Amplifiers, and Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Electronic. Notable users include Davie504, Cole McCormack, and Phil Shouse.
