Founded and led by Matt Lucas, Matt’s Guitar Shop is today a key player in the expertise, support, and sale of musical instruments. It represents a new generation of guitar lovers for whom music comes first and for whom tone matters more than the serial number. It also has a specialty: hunting down instruments that once belonged to artists, from Jeff Buckley’s Telecaster to Tal Farlow’s Gibson, passing through Frank Zappa’s Les Paul and Steve Jones’s.
The Matt’s Guitar Shop team brings together complementary profiles united by the same passion for musical creation. From the luthier, a technical expert with a pragmatic vision of guitars, to an artistic and historical approach in the art and memorabilia department, and the advice and strong expertise of its founder and director Matthieu Lucas, the team embodies the diversity and duality inherent to the exceptional instruments market.
Whether assisting you with acquisition projects, sales, or guitar searches; with setup and lutherie operations; or with acquiring artworks and memorabilia from rock history, we are delighted to help and support you!
Matt Lucas – CEO
Passionate about music and rock since his adolescence, Matt made the guitar his gateway to the world that fascinates him so much. In nearly ten years, he has become one of the specialists in exceptional guitars, making Matt’s Guitar Shop a recognized name in instrument sales. Fascinated by the exciting and curious dimension of artist guitars, Matt early on chose to make musician collections his core specialty. Although he also sells vintage guitars and more modern instruments, historical instruments form the essence of Matt’s Guitar Shop.
Convinced that the most beautiful stories are told through sharing and passing on, Matt has always wanted to place openness at the heart of the Shop’s philosophy. Its rarest gems are regularly loaned to artists on stage or in the studio, while anyone can make an appointment to play the Shop’s finest guitars. Over time, Matt has also become an important voice of expertise and analysis in the international musical instrument market.
The collections of Lenny Kravitz and Craig Ross, as well as that of Deryck Whibley, are among the gems of 2024 that passed through Matt’s Guitar Shop.
