About Matthew Mustapick and Mustapick Guitars from http://www.mustapickguitars.com/
Although he concedes that sometimes dazzling woods seem to contribute the essential beauty in a fine handmade instrument and that this is often a very lovely part of the allure, he believes that the real essence of beauty in a guitar has much more to do with the details of tonal balance, power, ultra-precise playability, and fine craftsmanship. Working with the finest materials provides him inspiration to make something that would excel in all these aspects.
He adds, When you pick up a great instrument, or any other finely made thing, you feel right away that there's something entirely right about it. Every detail contributes something particularly relevant, and the result is a singular, thematically unified creation of beauty, purpose, and character. I strive to incorporate this singularity into every one of my instruments, and in this way, I am very proud of the results.
Currently he offers following models...
Allegro Classical | Arena OM | Aurora | Concert Nylon Crossover | Baritone | Extra-Stringed Instruments
