Batson Guitars operates out of Chicago, Illinois, bringing specialized expertise to the world of acoustic guitar design and performance optimization. The company has built its reputation around a distinctive guitar design that addresses one of live performers’ most persistent challenges: feedback issues. Their innovative approach features an oversized sound hole configuration that eliminates the common problem of sound hole feedback from microphones, making these instruments particularly valuable for stage work and studio recording sessions.

Beyond solving technical performance issues, Batson’s unique design philosophy creates an exceptional personal sound monitor for players, allowing composers and songwriters to hear themselves with unusual clarity during performance. This attention to the performer’s experience sets their work apart in the industry. Operating under the management of Lyon & Healy Corporation, a historic name in American instrument manufacturing, Batson Guitars continues to serve Chicago’s music community with instruments engineered specifically for the demands of live performance. Their specialized approach to acoustic guitar design reflects deep understanding of both luthier craftsmanship and the practical needs of working musicians.
