Steve Evans, a luthier, and Bill Johnson, an engineer, created Beltona in 1990 that are custom-made resonator instruments. Beltona resonators were originally produced out of metal and in the mid-1990s, they introduced resin and carbon fibre models. These lightweight guitars became so popular that Beltona discontinued their metal models in 2002. All resonators are hand-made and can be individually customized.
