Hodson Guitars is a UK-based brand offering budget-friendly electric guitars in classic offset and surf-inspired styles. The lineup centers on the Jazzcat, a solid-body modeled on the Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar template with dual humbuckers, an alder body, a 25.5" scale maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, alongside the Surfcat, a Stratocaster-influenced model with single-coil pickups and a slim maple neck profile.

The brand is best known among hobbyist and gigging players in the UK who want vintage-style designs at an entry-level price point, with most instruments sold direct via eBay rather than through a traditional dealer network. Owners on UK guitar forums note solid playability, stable necks, and the appeal of the offset Jazzcat shape as an affordable alternative to mainstream Jazzmaster and Jaguar copies.

Hodson Guitars should not be confused with David J. Hodson, a separate English luthier in Loughborough who built Selmer/Maccaferri-style gypsy jazz guitars and "Djangolin" mandolins until his death in 2007.
