Pedulla

Many companies have much of their product(s) manufactured overseas or in Mexico by factory workers and/or manufacturing machines. Then they import them, do minor finish work or assembly here and (legally?) call their products “Made in the U.S.A.” Pedulla, on the other hand, can proudly say that they make their basses COMPLETELY in the U.S.A. They buy rough boards of lumber and every step of the bass-making process is done, by Michael Pedulla in their small shop in Massachusetts -- Pedulla bass guitars REALLY are completely Made in the U.S.A.! Pedulla has celebrated over 38 years of making instruments and know that their continued success depends not just on continually providing great products, but on the support of you, our customers. Please know Pedulla SINCERELY appreciates your business and support. -- Thank you!

Rickenbacker

"Handmade in America" - three words that proudly embody Rickenbacker's unchanging commitment to quality and excellence. A commitment that is as strong today as it was in the Company's beginnings, over sixty five years ago. While utilizing some of the most modern tools and equipment available, Rickenbacker has been selective in employing technology to be sure that improved quality is the only reason for not performing the operation in a traditional fashion. In fact, to the greatest extent, the most skillful and demanding work is still done entirely by hand.
