My name is Jim Matheas. I am a professional luthier, guitar technician and musician.
All instruments have distinctive musical behaviors and design features.

To get the most from your instrument it will need to have a tailored set-up that suits your individual playing style.

To achieve the best performance whether your instrument is vintage or new, it will firstly require an evaluation and a personalised setup.

I offer expertise in the following areas,

• Customised Setups
• Tuning and Intonation corrections
• High Tolerance Fretwork

My knowledge extends to all vintage and new Guitars, Basses, Mandolins, Bouzoukis and Banjos.

Designing and handcrafting Matheas Custom Guitars is available on a limited basis. Each instrument is individually voiced and tuned from the finest tonewoods available with appointments to suit your needs.

With over 19 years experience in delivering optimum performance my work is entrusted by Spiderbait, The Cat Empire, Magic Dirt, The Queen musical "We Will Rock You, Stephen Magnusson.
