Tune Guitar Technology is a builder of electric basses and guitars with roots in Osaka, Japan, where the brand was founded in 1983. The company became known during the late 1980s for through-neck, exotic-wood basses aimed at modern players, issued under the Bass Maniac line (models such as the TBC-5S five-string and various TWB-series basses) and its Guitar Maniac counterpart. After the Japanese original restructured as Tune Guitar Maniac around the turn of the century, the Tune Guitar Technology name continued under Korean manufacturer Woosung Chorus Co., Ltd. (WSC), based in Incheon.

The present Tune Guitar Technology catalog centers on bass guitars, including the TWB and TWBT custom series, the SWV slap-oriented bass, the Supernova Zi multi-string line, the WB fretless, and signature basses such as the Hatsun's TWB and the Casiopea-linked TWX. The brand also produces its own preamps (including the GMP5) and operates a Custom Shop for built-to-order instruments. Manufacturing of Tune-branded basses has occurred in both Japan and Korea, and the two origins are often distinguished by collectors when discussing vintage and newer models.

Tune Guitar Technology has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 2 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Greg Lake and Javier Ramírez "El Cha!".
