Mankato Guitars

We are a group of friends, artists and guitar makers based in Curitiba, Brazil. Imagine handcrafting electric guitar and basses using techniques from the 50's with the structural advantages you find in modern guitar parts - that's our goal.

Mankato models are vintage-inspired while not compromising comfort. Our instruments are 100% handmade, with no use of CNCs. We have two luthiers working on one guitar at a time. We believe this adds a unique character and soul to every guitar. We produce a limited number of instruments each year to guarantee this level of quality. Get in touch and build your dream guitar!
