The Guitar Magazine’s Chris Vinnicombe Reviews on the Arcade and Signature
“Instruments as good as this have a habit of stopping time.”
“Sure, there’s extraordinary clarity and precision, notes are complex, there are bags of sustain…But its most hypnotic characteristic is the way in which it encourages you to step outside of the familiar. In the world of the Frank Brothers Guitar Company, the phrase ‘more or less standard’ translates as ‘earth-shatteringly cool’…” Read the review here
"A new design that’s a potential world-beater...extraordinarily confident & tasteful”
“Even by the standards of the modern boutique market, the Signature Model is something special…Held notes hang in the air and bloom in a manner you rarely encounter when playing a box-fresh electric…made possible by Frank Brothers’ uncompromising approach to design, timbers, parts and build.” Read the review here

“I think they might have nailed it. In my personal taste and opinion they’ve built this really classic looking instrument that sounds incredible…really really really well made... it feels classic already.”
- James Bay, London, UK - Signature Model
"This has got to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen [...] Wow! What’s so cool is that it has elements of classic electric guitars, and yet is not derivative in any way. It’s a timeless design - somehow thoroughly modern-looking and yet classic at the same time."

- Matt J., Toronto
"The guitar itself could not have been more aligned with the detailed specifications we worked on together. Nothing was overlooked. It is flat out beautiful. Appearance wise, unbelievable. So smooth and slick, and the bound F-hole is the nicest I’ve ever seen. The wood and details on the headstock neck and body is all top shelf. The guitar feels great and is perfectly balanced. In terms of playability, it is perfect for my needs…
I am a happy customer, make that super happy. And I feel like I totally got my money’s worth and it was so well worth the wait. Thank you so, so much for your attention to detail and my needs. This experience was many multiples better than custom experiences I’ve had with [other companies]. There is simply no comparison. Consider me yet another one of your ambassadors that will do his best to spread the great work Frank Brothers Guitar Company!"

“An awesome shirt to match my awesome Frank Brothers guitar! Thank you!”
- Scott B.
"The guitar is simply amazing - you guys did a fantastic job and I simply love the guitar - I can go to the neck pickup and roll back the tone half way and I am totally in perfect Jazz territory with softness and single note clarity for melody lines. Go to 2 pick ups and the highs shimmer. Finally, stomp on the Benson preamp with both pick ups going full tone and full volume, and boom - blues and rock totally bloom out of the guitar. It is an amazing guitar. Tell the guys...love it."
- Francisco A. - Arlington, Virginia - Signature Model
