Auerswald Instruments is the workshop of German luthier Jerry Auerswald, based in Berlin, who hand-builds high-end electric guitars and basses on a one-at-a-time basis. The shop is best known for its work with Prince — most famously the gold Symbol guitar built in 1993, designed to mirror the unpronounceable glyph Prince used as his name at the time, along with the Model C (also called Himmelsschlüssel) and the Cleo bass.

Auerswald's instruments are recognizable for several signature design elements: a "sustain bow" that links the headstock to the body, internal resonance chambers, neck-through construction, and metal hardware that Jerry fabricates in-house. Production models and small runs include the Viva and Viva Heavy, the Chico Hablas, and the Symbol-style guitars, often built with figured maple bodies, 24-fret necks, and EMG pickups. Builds frequently incorporate piezo bridges and MIDI options.

Because every instrument is made by Jerry himself, output is limited and prices reflect the bespoke craftsmanship, with custom commissions typically running into five-figure territory on the secondhand market. The brand's profile rests largely on its association with Prince's stage instruments, but Auerswald guitars and basses have also turned up among collectors and players seeking original, non-traditional designs.

Jerry Auerswald has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Prince.
