About Miranda Guitars

On November 7, 1844, Miranda Guitars' namesake, Doña Juana Briones de Miranda, purchased a rancho of 4,400 acres in Northern California, for the price of $300. Juana's rancho is now in the heart of Silicon Valley—and worth quite a bit more. Our shop is on this land and our guitars reflect its dual heritage—fusing the Spanish tradition of guitar making with the technological enrichment of the Valley.

Miranda Guitars' founder, Phil Green, has realized a long held dream — to develop a full-sized guitar with the portability of a violin, yet the feel and playability and full-bodied sound of an acoustic instrument, as well as attractive styling, and the advantage of silent practice.

Miranda Guitars are unique in function and structure. They demand manufacturing skills and facilities that are not to be found under the roof of a small shop such as ours—guitar making, metal and polymer parts fabrication, electronics fabrication and access to a myriad of specialized components. Miranda is pleased to have formed alliances with an array of the best specialists in the Valley and beyond.
