M-tone Guitars

M-tone® Guitars are hand made by Matt Proctor in his Portland, Oregon workshop. Matt designs and builds a very limited number of electric guitars each year. Innovative shapes and finishes set M-tones apart from the electric herd. Picking up an M-tone is as exciting as the first time you played an electric, yet as comfortable as playing a guitar you have owned for years. Putting down an M-tone is not really an option.

The back of a guitar is such a good opportunity to keep things interesting. #handmadeguitar #contemporaryart #contemporarycraft #woodcarving #sculpture #coolguitars #bespoke (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmhfl_jSEEG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The M-tone shop on a cold morning. I have a lot of cool things in the works right now. Hopefully I’ll be finishing a few guitars soon.

Carving a base for a new guitar stand idea I’m trying out. I love Walnut and I love working with my hands. Have a great Friday! #handmadeguitars #mtoneguitars #newideas #carving #texture https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZpIORy5lO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@elanatsui_art My favorite art work of the trip so far. Made with millions of bottle caps and rings wired together. It works on every level. #mtoneguitars #guitarinspiration (at Museo Guggenheim Bilbao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkY3imvs04s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A few details of my latest guitar, the M-tone Lava Field. I did a lot of carving on this one. The guitar is hollow and very loud acoustically. Sounds big and rich plugged in with a lot of sustain. Total fun to play! Thanks. #handmadeguitar #coolguitars #sculpure #keepitinteresting (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjd-VFNvN0X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
