The Luthiers:
Miles Manglos
Miles has been serving the Austin, TX music scene since 2012 as a music producer and luthier. He quickly became the choice guitar tech for many local Austin musicians. In 2016 he officially created his brand Wolfcreek Guitars. In 2021 he expanded the company into a multi-luthier operation. As a well rounded and seasoned musician himself, his craftsmanship prioritizes tone, presentation, playability and feel, with no details overlooked. A strong emphasis of personalization is involved whether it's a custom guitar commission or basic setup, with all aspects of clients’ playing style, genre and preferences considered.
Jett Boyd
Jett Boyd has been building and repairing guitars for over 30 years, with his professional experience beginning as an apprentice under violin maker Bob Rife when he was 18 years old. Jett has an engineering degree and has worked in the technology industry, but has now taken his part-time passion of luthierie to full time. His ingenuity and thoroughness with complex and high
caliber repairs has quickly been earning him a reputation as one of the best acoustic repairmen in Dripping Springs.
Matt Whitlock
Matt began playing guitar at the age of 12. He built his first guitar a few years later with a 2x4, a nail, and a pick-up he yanked from his brother’s guitar. With an extensive background in metal fabrication, Matt combined his passion of music and fabrication and eventually became a luthier to be reckoned with. With his extensive skillset and wide range of guitar repair experience, he strives for perfection with every guitar that comes into the shop.
