Nash Guitars is an Olympia, Washington-based guitar and bass manufacturer founded by Bill Nash in 2001. The company specializes in aged, relic-style instruments that evoke the look, feel, and playability of vintage Fender-style guitars and basses, and describes itself as the largest independent builder of aged guitars and basses in the world. Each instrument is hand-finished in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer with hand-mixed paints, and the company avoids plastics, polyesters, and catalyzed finishes.

The lineup centers on Fender-inspired silhouettes: T-style (T Models), S-style (S Models), and offset guitars including the JG63, JM63, and Wayfarer, alongside PB, JB, and MB basses. Nash also produces limited runs under its Collector's Series, Art Series, and Custom Swirls programs, plus the Nautilus line. Instruments are sold exclusively through authorized dealers rather than direct-to-consumer.

Nash Guitars has built a following among players seeking pre-aged, road-worn aesthetics without the cost of genuine vintage instruments, and the company is frequently carried by boutique dealers such as Chicago Music Exchange and Humbucker Music. Day-to-day operations involve Bill Nash's son Britton, keeping the business family-run.

Nash has 50 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, and Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 71 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Noel Gallagher, Jonny Buckland, and Frank Iero. Most Nash products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
