Scientifico Musico Technographique (SMT Guitars) is a full custom guitar manufacturing company that produces 30 instruments a year in limited production. Their instruments are inspired by the work of Paul Bigsby and Nat Daniels (Danelectro) with a touch of Zemaitis thrown in. These instruments are known for their wacky designs, pearl inlay, and excellent playability. Elements of fine art, ´40s industrial design, and American hot rod culture are seen in these instruments. SMT has created guitars for Andy Gill (Gang of Four), Chris Isaak, and Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ Top). Due to the customer´s involvement in the design process, SMT guitars are not sold in stores and are available directly from the manufacturer, (Company information courtesy Steven Metz, SMT Guitars).
Instruments currently built in Great Falls, VA since 1992.
