Magneto Guitars is a French electric guitar maker founded in 2008 by Christian Hatstatt and his partner Kei San, following Hatstatt's two decades of experience in guitar design and manufacturing. The company positions itself around handbuilt construction, with instruments assembled by small teams of luthiers rather than through mass-production methods.

The catalog centers on bolt-on, solid-body electric guitars across several model families. The flagship handmade line includes the Sonnet and T-Wave series, while the more accessible U-One series offers variants like the Sonnet Supreme, Deluxe, Modern, Classic and Standard, along with UT-Wave, Starlux and Velvet Deluxe models. The brand also produces bass guitars, including the Ruby Bass RB-3000 and Topaz Bass TB-1400, and a signature roster that has included the Andy G Jones model and the Raw Dawg RD3.

Magneto has drawn attention through its signature artist program, most prominently its association with blues-rock guitarist Eric Gales, whose "Raw Dawg" moniker lends its name to one of the brand's signature lines. The company is distributed internationally through dealers in the UK, Europe and beyond, and regularly exhibits at NAMM.

Magneto Guitars has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Blues. Notable users include Eric Gales and Andy Gill.
