Maxwell’s Guitar Shop
Lutherie is the perfect combination of art and craft.
My journey into lutherie is a natural one. As a kid I was always drawing and making model planes and cars. Simultaneously, I was involved in music. I had piano lessons starting in the 1st grade and I played music all the way thru college. I graduated with a BA in music from the University of Portland and studied classical guitar with Jeffrey Ashton and Scott Kritzer as well as attending numerous master classes. While teaching music and performing after graduation, I was always preoccupied with other projects; building furniture, painting cars, fiberglassing, etc… which led to me to try my hand at lutherie. It was a good feeling to be able to connect two of my passions – music and a hands-on construction project. I made my first guitar in 2005 and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Maxwell is an extremely talented luthier and player as well. Bringing his playing experience to the table allows him to build a guitar that will satisfy just about any other player, coupled with excellent workmanship, clean, elegant lines and a beautiful voice from his instruments.
