Mastery is focused on producing problem solving, precise metal guitar hardware that is unparalleled in the industry. While large guitar conglomerates continue to look back, we continue to move forward. Our working environment is as unique as our products and John Woodland has created a design forward thinking atmosphere in which to work in.
You can’t make a single guitar part without understanding the guitar as a whole and the many skilled luthiers we work with understand this and share our mutual desire to move the guitar forward. Check out some of the select builders we work with below and feel free to contact them directly about your next new build.
