Behringer
The most accessible entry point into guitars and gear, Behringer brings ultra-affordable instruments to players worldwide.
About the brand
Behringer was founded in 1989 by Uli Behringer in Germany and has grown into one of the world's largest audio equipment manufacturers. While best known for mixers, effects, and studio gear, the brand also produces entry-level electric guitars and basses.
Behringer's guitar offerings target absolute beginners and budget-conscious players, often reproducing classic designs at the lowest possible price points. The instruments serve as an entry point into playing for thousands of musicians globally who cannot yet invest in premium equipment.
As part of the Music Tribe group, Behringer benefits from enormous manufacturing scale in China, enabling price points that established brands cannot match. The trade-off is often in fit and finish quality, but for pure accessibility, few brands come close.
