Powell Guitars

“Matt has been my go-to guy for all repairs and modifications, big and small, for years. His work is always exemplary, as is his communication. In an era when truly talented guitar techs are increasingly thin on the ground, Matt consistently hits it out of the park, and is a great guy to boot.”

“Whether it is putting together an instrument I’ve been dreaming about, or getting the gang set-up in time for an important recordings session, Matt is always there to ensure I have the confidence in the instrument to perform at the highest level. He is the only person I trust with the guitars at Diamond City. ”

“Matt can bring the magic back to any guitar he lays his hands on. From a simple setup to a custom build, there’s nobody better for the job. A true master of his craft.”

“I have many guitars made by many luthiers. Some luthiers have the “it” and some don’t. When I say “it” I mean the ability to make a guitar that plays smoothly and without fail and has a unique and fat tone. Matt Powell has the “it,” as he made me beautiful axes which I would gig or record with anywhere.”

“Matt Powell is the only luthier I trust to work on my guitars and basses. His expertise and quality of work is unmatched in my book. I’m always able to communicate to Matt exactly what I’m looking for and he makes sure we get there, even if that means tweaking the instrument until it’s right.”

“Got my ‘56 00-17 back from @powellguitars , who reset the neck, leveled the frets, and cut a new saddle. It’s like a new guitar. I really could not be happier with it and working with Matt was a joy from start to finish.”

“We own all the best repair books.”
