Welcome to Dark Matter Guitars

Dark Matter Guitars is a new instrument-making workshop based in the North West of England, offering both acoustic and electric guitars. It is run by trained luthier Andy Matthews who has achieved a Higher National Diploma in Musical Instrument Technology.

“My philosophy on instrument construction allows for a fusion of time-honoured classic designs with cutting-edge modern thinking and an eagerness to experiment. I firmly believe it is vital to have a solid grounding in traditional techniques but never to be afraid of embracing new ideas.”
