Zane guitars & basses were made in Antigo, Wisconsin around 2013 to 2018. The brand was founded in 2013 by Darrick Schingick who employed Rick Charlesworth as the main luthier and Bob MacDonald as the operations manager. By February 2019 the company was closed down. The brand was named after Zane Waldvogel - who suffered severe neck injury in a car accident in 2012. Waldvogel used a custom guitar made by Rick as part of his rehabilitation and recovery.
