The History Of Ernie Ball

By Roland Reed

The first guitar shop of America, Ernie Ball Guitar, was founded by no less than Ernie Ball. It started as a small guitar shop in 1957 in Tarzana. Ernie's sales representatives used to suggest selling other musical instruments and equipment, but Ernie declined because guitars are his only passion.

Despite of selling guitars only, many people from different places still took time to visit the guitar shop. After long years, Ernie Ball, together with Sterling Ball decided to manufacture electric guitars. When the Music Man Company was up for sale, Ernie Ball didn't waste any time and bought it in the fall of 1984.

Nowadays, the company Ernie Ball Guitar is not just selling guitars, but also a wide selection of guitar accessories like guitar straps and picks, music books, amplifier hardware, jacks and plugs, volume pedals Ultra flex cables, and even clothing.

They are also selling great model of bass guitars. The latest addition to their coated slinky line is the Titanium Reinforced Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Sets.
