We've Got You Covered

Matt was recommended to me by, of all things, AI. I couldn't believe we have such a talented and experience guitar tech and luthier right here in our back yard in the Lakes Region of Western Maine. I've had issues with my 1983 Peavey T-27 guitar and went in thinking I'd need to get a bone nut, but he talked me out of it after checking it out, recommending a fret level and setup instead, saving me some serious money. It was only after he breathed new life into my guitar that I found all these reviews, and I couldn't agree with them more! I feel like I've got a brand new guitar and it plays and sounds incredible now! Matt leveled and polished the frets, raised the nut, straightened the neck, found and re-soldiered a loose ground on one of my pick-ups, and wouldn't let me leave his shop until I tried it out--he did a thorough job and I couldn't be happier! No more fret buzz, the action is incredible. So charming too, his love for his craft and the gear just rubs off on you and I can't help but smile. I've recommended him to all my guitar friends and neighbors, I won't go to anyone else.

I can't say enough about how good it is to have a local shop and tech that is really incredible. Matt's talent, professionalism, and knowledge is unmatched to anywhere else I've been. On top of him being my go-to guitar tech guru, he and I also put together a fully custom guitar. With his expertise and our collective work we managed to make the best playing guitar I have ever owned. He allowed and facilitated a fully custom body and neck to be made from scratch. I did the rough work, but his magic completed all of the finish, install and setup that makes this guitar great. Please pay him a visit for all of your guitar and bass needs, he won't disappoint!

I was referred to Matt by a few people and when I reached out he was extremely quick to fix my guitar issues and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend reaching out to Sohl Guitars for all your needs!!

This guy is the bomb! Replaced the nut on my 30+ year old Carvin 5 string bass (that somebody else screwed up) and did a fret refresh and setup. Plays like new again. A real artisan who knows his craft and a nice guy to deal with. Best I've experienced in my 50+ years of playing bass.

Amazing work and amazing person, if you need a basic setup or a custom guitar there’s no where else I would go. 10/10

Matt is an amazing luthier!! He built my FRETLESS telecaster!!!

Matt is great guy to work with, who was amazing at modifying my bass and getting it just how I wanted, at a great price. The dude is so cool work with so I highly recommend you stop by at Sohl Guitars sometime!

Living in a rural area, it's a challenge to find a good guitar tech. Matt is true gem in Western Maine- easy access from New Hampshire as well as the Maine Seacoast. My Rickenbacker bass had some bad fret buzz issues on frets 1-5 that was impacting sound and sustain. Matt was immediately able to diagnose the neck adjustment needed and get rid of the fret buzz. While he worked on he cleaned up the frets, fretboard and electronics. The low action I love is still there with no more fret buzz! Can't recommend Matt enough for the quality of his work and obvious expertise. Worth a visit!

Matt’s been working on my guitars for years! Always does a great job!

Matt is a solid guy! I find it hard to come across techs that actually know what they’re doing. Highly recommend. I’m trying to give him 6 stars but google wont’ let me. So I have to settle with 5 instead.
