What's on the wall
“I had an acoustic guitar with inexplicable buzzing, and another prominent shop in town dismissed it as a wolf tone, basically saying nothing could be done.”
“I bought the Les Paul pictured after playing it 10 minutes — they had 5 more I could have bought and I have very high guitar collector standards.”
“Popped in for a quick visit with my son and was stunned at the selection of guitars and pedals.”

Brands they deal
“I had a Fender acoustic guitar whose 1/4 inch jack became detached.”
“He agreed to my price and even threw in a Gibson hardshell case they had laying around in the back since I was flying home with the guitar.”
What players say again and again
“He'll do impeccable setups and actually tailor them to your preferences, but he'll also put in the effort to hunt down those weird problems no one else can fix.”
“Fixed a hole in the side bracing, the work was TOP LEVEL and at a fair price to me.”
“Very friendly staff and welcoming vibe.”
“Matt fixed it in a few minutes at a very reasonable price.”
From the reviews
Matt & Jimmy are the best. Had a crack in the neck repaired on my ES 335 and after it was invisible. But that’s just the straight job, Matt went beyond and refiled my nut because it was way too high to intonate. Why? Because he’s a pro and cares.
If you are a touring musician who needs expert guitar work right now or you are a person looking for a quality used guitar, you should visit Matt and 30th Street.
Simply the best store in NYC for guitar maintenance, setups, etc.. Matt does incredible work but more importantly everyone who works there is super friendly and knowledgable. It epitomizes to me the best of “small business” and I wish them all the best for continued success.
Dropped off my guitar for a setup after seeing so many incredible reviews about Matt. They told me to check in around 1 week after drop off. I called after a week and it was ready. Matt allowed me to test out the guitar in the back room and told me if there’s any minor adjustments, let him know.
