The Builder

Matt’s passion for guitars began over 15 years ago, and eventually led him to taking on an apprenticeship with Scott and John Baxendale of the old Colfax Guitar Shop. The Baxendale’s provided him with the skills and opportunity to perform everything from simple setups to building complete high end custom guitars from scratch. Working with over 6 years of professional luthier service and almost 20 years of woodworking knowledge, he specializes in custom built acoustic and electric guitars. With an eye for aesthetics and extensive knowledge of playability of guitars, Matt will work with you to select the woods, finishes, hardware and unique design attributes that will make your guitar perfect for you.

I could not be happier!

I had the pleasure of partnering with Matthew for the build of two guitars within the last year. I was in the market for a custom guitar to add to my collection, and my search led me to Matthew. The collaboration between him and I, in partnership with his outstanding craftsmanship, attention to detail, and creativity produced two guitars that I could not be happier with. Matthew adds an outstanding vintage look with a modern sound and feel that makes your guitar one of a kind. I look forward to playing these for many years to come and would recommend Matthew to anyone in search of a quality custom guitar.
