Bethany Guitars is a custom guitar workshop located in Bethany, Connecticut, specializing in bespoke six-string acoustic guitars. Founded by luthier Phil Brunwin, the workshop emphasizes sound quality, playability, and long-term stability in its instruments.

The workshop offers a variety of guitar models, include the B-000, MJ, NJ, J16/J17, SJ, B-Dread, LG Deluxe, and L00, each varying in size, shape, and tonal characteristics. Brunwin's designs are influenced by vintage guitars, particularly classic Gibson acoustics, and he utilizes both domestic and exotic woods to achieve desired sound qualities.

Bethany Guitars operates as a one-man workshop, with approximately half of the instruments being custom orders and the remainder as "workshop specials" available for immediate purchase.
