He started as a product specialist for Gibson Custom Shop and Gibson Memphis and became the Custom Shop Product Manager in 2018 and Head of Product Development the following year. Mat’s passion for guitar history has led him to be considered one of the top vintage guitar experts in the world, and also enables his work maintaining and recovering Gibson archive assets.
