Noguera is a small French luthier workshop run by Christian Noguera, based in the village of Crayssac in the Lot department of southwestern France. The shop specializes exclusively in custom and signature bass guitars, building boutique instruments by hand in low volumes for working professionals and collectors.
The range centers on a handful of model families, including the Expression, Harmonie, J60 (a vintage-style Jazz Bass interpretation), and the YC, a semi-acoustic fretless bass with a mahogany hollow body and spruce top originally designed in 1998 for French bassist Yves Carbonne. A signature MBappé model is built for Cameroonian bassist Etienne Mbappé. The instruments are known for fine wood selection, fretless work, and extended-range and piezo-equipped configurations.
Noguera basses have a strong following in the European jazz and fusion scene, with players including Etienne Mbappé, Yves Carbonne, and Dominique Di Piazza associated with the brand. The shop has shown at NAMM and remains a one-luthier operation rather than a production brand.
Noguera has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Classical and Jazz. Notable users include Etienne Mbappe.
