Memphis Guitars were guitars produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Overview
Memphis Guitars were affordable guitars that were imported from Asia and distributed in the United States by C. Bruno and Sons in the mid-1970s to 1980s. The product line included Fender and Gibson-styled instruments as well as some original designs. In the early years they were manufactured by Matsumoku Industrial.
Memphis also sold pedals, including at least a phaser called simply "Roto Phase", a simple pedal with input, output, and one knob that controlled the speed.
Slash, former lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, has stated that his first guitar was a Memphis. It was given to him by his grandmother.
