About brackenridge

My name is Max Brackenridge, I am a sole builder and have been building guitars for 3 years so far. I started learning to build guitars at 15 years old and have been working ever since towards perfection.

If you are interested in ordering a Brackenridge guitar, or have any enquiries about instrument repairs, please do not hesitate to reach out.

THE BRACKEN

The Bracken is a Jumbo model guitar, expertly built to project a loud, balanced, and articulate tone that resonates beautifully in any musical setting.
