Welcome to the retro-futuristic guitar world of J.Backlund Design. Our new JBD series of solid-body electric guitars was created by master luthier Bruce Bennett from the fantastic designs of artist and illustrator J. Backlund. Years of research and experimentation were required to turn these cutting-edge designs — some of which were considered "unbuildable" — into world-class instruments. The JBD series returns excitement to the stage!

These are lifetime guitars, engineered and crafted to the highest standards of tone, balance, playability, finish, and stability that can be achieved. Once you pick up a JBD guitar, you won't want to put it down.

You'll find complete specifications and options on the models page, and also see the Guitar Gallery for images of recently completed and sold instruments.

Each instrument comes standard with a TKL® snakeskin custom case and an Ultimate Support® GS-100/1000 guitar stand.
