Babicz is a manufacturer of high-end acoustic guitars and electric guitars and full contact hardware, as well as a producer of licensable guitar technology. By now most guitarists are familiar with the Babicz Guitar company, an innovative brand that featured Jeff Babicz’s remarkable designs. The company was established in late 2003 by Jeff Babicz and Jeff Carano, veterans of the guitar industry with established track records. The first Full Contact Hardware prototype bridge was mounted to Jeff Carano’s Fender Jazz bass and the result was immediately prominent. The locked down saddle design dramatically improved sustain while the lightweight materials offered a new level of tonality compared to the original bridge.
