In 1982, Hipshot was founded by Dave Borisoff in a small industrial unit in California. It was while assembling electric buses by day and playing pedal steel at night that Dave started inventing hardware for his bandmates. They remain fueled by the idea that well designed, innovative hardware can spur infinite creativity for builders and players alike. Hipshot stand behind their products and reach to find new ways to push the envelope of what's possible with a guitar. After all, electric guitars and basses are still a very new technology with plenty of avenues left to explore and new traditions to develop.
