What we do

We design and manufacture some of the very best guitar and bass gear on the planet. From our micro-factory in central Brighton, UK, we ship guitar cabs, bass cabs and FX pedals direct to customers all around the world.

Our approach and ethos is different to the norm - everything comes from a combination of analytical engineering being applied with a musician’s sensibilities. Everything is designed to last for as long as possible, to be repairable and absolutely non-disposable, and to not become obsolete as digital technology advances.

We do not follow the conventions of guitar and bass cabs which are a mix of marketing led ideas and historical precedent, and instead take a unique approach that blends engineering and musicianship to create groundbreaking products which will generate awesome tone and make sure that you, your bandmates and audience hear that sound on your gigs or in the studio.

Although we sell a small amount through a handful of dealers, ~95% of our products go direct from us to our customers, the majority overseas beyond the UK. There are Barefaced owners in:

India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Thailand, Lebanon, Russia, Singapore, Barbados, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Canada, USA, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia, Netherlands

We believe that our direct connection to the guitarists and bassists that use our gear is invaluable when it comes to matching the right Barefaced product to a potential customer and in designing the best possible new products - we get so much feedback from our owners, we know more than anyone about what works with what and for whom on which gigs.
