Egmond was a Dutch guitar manufacturer from Eindhoven.
From the early 30s to the early 70's, the company manufactured various types of acoustic, electric and bass guitars. At the peak, in the 1960s, thousands of guitars were produced per week. Ninety percent of the guitars were exported, especially to the United States.
In addition to guitars, amplifiers and guitar elements were also produced. In 1974, the company went bankrupt, probably due to the great competition from Asia.
Egmond guitars were played by celebrities such as Paul McCartney and George Harrison of The Beatles, but also Dutch artists Rob de Nijs, Peter Koelewijn, The Blue Diamonds and The Tielman Brothers played a Egmond guitar. Housing
Egmond has begun in Eindhoven. Later, the company moved to Aalst, where it had two offices. After both branches in Aalst (apart from each other) were hit by fire, the company moved to Best in 1960.
