Mattos Custom Guitars: Unique, made one at a time by one person
I began my love affair with guitars when I was nine, on a nylon string Silvertone playing endless classical Études. Like countless other kids of the day I was entranced by Eric and Jeff and Keith and lusted after Fenders, Gibsons, and Gretschs I couldn’t possibly afford. Fast forward to 2011 and I’m still lusting after guitars I wil

Here’s a really fun-to-play variation on my Studio Standard Barncaster model. Light weight (7 lbs.) distressed 100+ year old reclaimed pine body with a flamed “Torchburst” and varnish oil finish, maple “C” profile neck, and great sounding Alnico V pickups. Additional details include light patina nickel hardware, non-compensated 3 saddle top-load bridge, and custom Baltic birch pickguard, A rough & ready, hard luck cousin to a classic design!

Lots of great Tele tone in an unusual package. This one-piece body is made from a slab of very stable 200 year old rough cut fir finished to emphasize the great rustic look. Salvaged from a building that originally served as a stagecoach stop on the Boston to Portland Maine run. DiMarzio pickups provide a full range of Tele tones. Custom hand burned pyrographic art Baltic birch pick guard complements the body for an overall look that accentuates the wood. Great vintage sound and feel. Light weight and comfortable; a really sweet sounding guitar that’s loads of fun to play.

Exploring the multitude of mods possible with a Tele is certainly fun but there is something very satisfying about a no frills, no mods version. And it’s always a reminder of just how brilliant the original design is. Aside from the custom mix Sherwood green milk paint the basics are all here. Light and resonant reclaimed pine body, fat & chunky neck, twangy, chimey Broadcaster style pickups. A versatile instrument that can cover everything from TV themes to jazz, country, or alt- rock.

Joining the ranks of the handful of left-handed guitars I’ve done. All decked out in an airbrushed poppies & rhinestone Nudie suit inspired birch pickguard and sporting a particularly nice combination of O. C. Duff Plankster bridge pickup and T. V. Jones Classic neck pickup. Now creating some classic tones in beautiful San Francisco.
