Mustapick Guitars?
Morning all,
Does anyone know what has happened to Matt Mustapick (Mustapick Guitars)? I just looked up his site to post in the What guitar would you most like to play that you haven't already? thread, and saw that his website appears to be no more. I've always been intrigued by his styling and aesthetics, and the sound of the instruments I've heard online, but have never come across one 'in the flesh' to actually play for myself. Cheers, David

you might find out info thru Sylvan Music in Santa Cruz, Ca
Mathew used to live near by and the shop knew him well. Now that you mention it, I haven't saw mention of him in a while on the forum-his instruments always seemed really nice. d |

Same here. I remember speaking with Matt about some design ideas for a guitar I was hoping to order, and he was just the nicest guy. I hope he's still out there doing his thing

Last time I talked to him he said he wasn't taking any more commissions. And his website stopped getting updates. A friend of mine had a Brazilian OM multi scale of his, which is nearly identical to the Mustapick I used to own. I think he's trying to sell if you are interested.

At the Healdsburg guitar festival a few years back one of Matt's guitars was my favorite at the show that I had a chance to play.

It's a shame that he's no longer building. I'd be interested in any information on that OM, but being Brazilian I don't think it would be feasible to get it over to the UK... Cheers, David

Matt had a wonderful sense of aesthetic. I remember literally drooling over the looks of one of his instruments.
I hope the guitar world hears from him again. I seem to remember him posting that he was temporarily leaving the business but that he'd be back at a later date. Anyone remember that?

Mustapick Guitars?
would agree matt is/was one of the most agreeable makers in the trade and at a time one of the few who would deliver on feature—multiscale, bevels, wedges, etc.—at a scale somewhat available to mortals. the fit and finish still ranks among best in class and the visual integration is transcending.

Matt is an excellent human. I believe I played Justin's OM at Healdsburg (bear claw Sitka?) and it was excellent. That baritone has a nice sound clip.
Hope Matt is well.
