Lutherie

Luthier: a stringed instrument builder/repair person.

Matthew has been passionate about music for more than half his life, and he put himself through lutherie school at an early age during a rough time in the economy.  After school, he went to work for the 3rd largest American guitar manufacturer, Paul Reed Smith, as a finish hall worker while building and repairing guitars on the side.  Afterwards, he moved out west to Colorado, where he worked in a cabinet shop repairing unfinished homes with missing cabinets, trim work, doors and hardware.  His confidence in repairing your guitar is unparalleled to anything else he creates, and we urge you to visit our display booth in person to see the quality standards of which we stand behind and warranty.
