I’m looking forward to helping you take your instrument to the next level, whether that’s with a simple setup, a major repair, or an aesthetic refresh.

  • Tyler Brown (Stridebreaker, out of line)

    "Matt has worked on multiple guitars of mine, from simple setups to more complex repairs like complete fret jobs and broken headstocks. The attention to detail is unmatched, and the quality of craftsmanship is second to none. MWB Guitars has earned my trust and loyalty with every job!"

  • Roger Camero (The Warriors, Hard Chiller)

    “Matt is a legend. No matter the level of work needed, no matter the level of quality of an instrument, Matt is always able to bring out the best in an instrument.

    He can take a vintage instrument and find the issues that hold it back from being at its peak ability, and transform that instrument into something truly joyful to play.

    He can transform a mass production instrument into something that has personality and playability beyond its expectation.

    He’s also great at building custom pedalboards. From consulting and bouncing ideas, to sourcing gear, to wiring and building, Matt knows how to make clean and ergonomically sound pedalboards.

    Please do yourself a favor and have Matt give your instruments their much needed TLC.”
