From Josh Hurst (Owner)
I've spent most of my career working quietly behind the scenes, helping teams bring dozens of new guitar designs into the world. Trained as a mechanical engineer and grounded in traditional and modern craftsmanship, my work sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and feel. Tennessee Electric Company is the culmination of the companies I've worked for [including Fender, Gibson, and StewMac] - now expressed as a focused, personal artistic endeavor.
From Tennessee Electric Company:
The “Loretta” — Tennessee Electric License-Plate Series
Introducing the latest in our Tennessee Electric license-plate lineup: the Loretta model, crafted around an ultra-rare yellow 1975 Tennessee license plate we were fortunate enough to find. Every detail of this guitar — from the wood choice to the finish work — was designed to complement and elevate that historic plate.
Finished in a rich honey burst with our proprietary crackle lacquer, the Loretta feels like a well-loved Nashville relic that’s somehow survived untouched since the ’70s — fully aged, full of vibe, and ready for the stage or the wall.
