Frequently asked questions
What are Nashville guitars?
Nashville guitars are acoustic, electric, bass, classical, and flamenco guitars from Nashville Musical Instruments Co., which also makes Nashville amplifiers and Broadway by Nashville digital pianos. They are modern instruments inspired by the golden era of 1970s guitar making.
Are today's Nashville guitars related to the 1970s Japanese-made Nashville guitars?
The Nashville name was first used in the 1970s by the Nashville Musical Instrument Co., a wholesale business on Lower Broadway in Nashville that supplied Japanese-made guitars to independent music stores across the Southeast. Collectors report that the company closed its doors around 1980. In 2022, Nashville Musical Instruments Co. took up the name to carry that tradition forward. It is a new company, not the original company.
Who founded the original Nashville guitar company?
The 1970s Nashville Musical Instrument Co. was run by R. T. Cromwell (1941–2020), whose wholesale business on Lower Broadway brought Japanese-made guitars to independent music stores across the Southeast.
Where are Nashville guitars made today?
Designed in the U.S.A. and built in Asia to a quality standard we stand behind, with features you'd usually find on instruments costing far more. The original Nashville guitars of the 1970s were built in Japan.
What makes Nashville instruments good value?
Nashville instruments include features you'd usually find on instruments costing far more, such as solid spruce tops, buffalo-bone nuts and saddles, Spanish fan bracing, roasted maple necks, dovetail neck joints, flame maple tops, onboard preamps with a built-in tuner and 3-band EQ, and every one is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
Where can I buy a Nashville guitar?
Nashville sells exclusively through authorized distributors and partner dealers; the website is a catalog, not a shop. Prices and availability come from local dealers. Use the contact or distributor pages on nashville.ltd to find one.
What warranty do Nashville instruments have?
All Nashville guitars, Nashville amplifiers, and Broadway by Nashville digital pianos carry a 2-year limited warranty from the date of original retail purchase, serviced through authorized dealers and distributors. Full terms are at nashville.ltd/warranty.
How do I adjust the truss rod on a Nashville guitar?
Check the neck for a bow or hump, loosen the 3rd and 4th strings, reach the adjustment nut at the headstock or inside the sound hole, and turn it in small steps: clockwise to fix a forward bow, counter-clockwise to fix a hump. The full illustrated guide is at nashville.ltd/support/truss-rod-adjustment. If in doubt, ask your dealer or a qualified technician.
