Based in Nashville, Stringjoy was founded in 2014 by Scott Marquart.

Scott has been playing guitar since he was nine. He's gigged, recorded, produced, run live sound, worked at a record label, managed bands, you get the idea.

Scott says "If you’ve ever had the pleasure of trying to make a custom set of strings back in the day, you already know this, but it was a pain. Worth every bit of trouble, but a pain nonetheless. You had to buy single strings at the store that had been sitting out on a shelf for years, you typically had to mix brands to find the gauges you were after, and there were a lot of gauges that you couldn’t find at all. So initially I started Stringjoy to scratch my own itch — to make building custom sets of strings easy and accessible to players at all levels.

"From a small beginning (and just $500) it didn’t take long for the word to spread about the world’s first guitar string custom shop.

"When we built out our manufacturing arm here in Nashville, we optimized our process for string performance, not manufacturing speed or labor efficiency.

"Making a Stringjoy string takes time. It’s hard work. But our job isn’t to make the cheapest strings — our job is to make the best strings. And if we do that job right, our strings will sound fuller, perform better, and last longer than anything else out there."
