Zemaitis Guitars is a distinctive guitar brand originally founded in the 1950s in England by master luthier Tony Zemaitis. Beginning as a small, bespoke workshop, Zemaitis gained a reputation for handcrafting high-quality instruments favored by legendary musicians such as Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. The brand became especially known for its unique metal-front and pearl-inlaid guitars, designed not only for visual impact but also to reduce electrical noise and enhance tonal clarity.

Today, Zemaitis are produced in Japan and continues to make electric and acoustic guitars based on Tony Zemaitis’s original designs. Modern production takes place primarily in Japan, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary manufacturing, while maintaining the brand’s signature artistic style and premium quality. With both high-end custom models and more accessible production lines, Zemaitis remains an influential and respected name in the global guitar market.
