Specs & FAQ

Learn how our smart guitar works, what's built-in, and what makes it different.

What does “smart guitar” actually mean?

A smart guitar should be a great guitar first. The technology should serve the player, not distract from the instrument.

We started with a simple question: what if your guitar could be more?

What if your guitar could help keep you in tune, keep you in time, loop your ideas, organize your set lists, and help you record, all without a single extra piece of gear?

To us, “smart” means a truly great guitar with built-in technology that give the player superpowers.

What’s built into the Hansom Smart Guitar?

The Hansom Smart Guitar includes onboard effects, a multi-channel looper, precision tuner, metronome, set list organizer, and recording tools, all accessed through a high-quality, responsive touchscreen.

The integrated software enables the metronome to sync with the looper. Your set lists can be organized and reorganized by song. Everything is available at the tip of your fingers, instead of down on the floor.

What makes the Hansom Guitar different?

Most guitar technology lives around the guitar. Pedals on the floor. Apps on your phone. Cables on the floor.

A Hansom Guitar puts those tools inside the instrument while keeping the guitar at the center of the playing experience.

The guitar and its software were designed as a single system. This means less setup, fewer distractions, and more time playing.

Hansom Guitars are built to improve over time. Download software updates directly from the touchscreen to receive new effects, features, improvements, and bug fixes. No computer usb cords required.

Who is it for?

The everyday player who wants to keep improving. The songwriter capturing ideas on the couch. The musician building better practice habits. The performer who wants fewer things to carry. The player who wants less setup without giving up sound or quality.

From the practice room to the studio to the stage, the Hansom Smart Guitar is built for players who want their guitar ready whenever inspiration arrives.

How do I get the most out of it?

Use your Hansom Guitar as your daily practice machine. Start with the tuner (always start with the tuner). Then set a tempo with the metronome, record a rhythm loop, and practice your lead playing over it. That happens in seconds not minutes. And as your playing develops, save recordings and loops, and organize your songs into set lists for practice, recording, or performance.

Is it still a real guitar?

Yes, and it always will be. Hansom Guitars are, and always will be, high-quality instruments made from natural wood. The technology is designed on top of a premium instrument to support your creative pursuits, not drown them.

When will it be available?

There will be a limited first run soon, so reserve your spot and be the first to hear when the Hansom Smart Guitar launches.
