Every b3 guitar is a result of the fruitful collaboration between Gene Baker, Michael Rinkenberger, and the player.  A former master builder at both the Fender and Gibson Custom Shops and world-renowned luthier, Gene is creating some of the finest handmade instruments on the planet.  Crafted in our state of the art facility in the foothills of Tehachapi, California, b3 instruments embody vintage quality and modern guitar building techniques with a master luthier’s expertise and attention to detail.
