The stunning resonator guitars featured in the video above are of handmade right here in Aotearoa, New Zealand by Russ Mattsen.

“Each guitar is built by myself, by hand, one at a time. This allows the freedom to get the best out of each instrument and allows changes so each instrument meets your requirements.”

For over 10 years Luthier Russ Mattsen has been handcrafting  Resonator Guitars, built to inspire the playing of the Blues. With design options across materials such as brass, copper and nickel or innovative or traditional body style options these resonators are absolutely amazing to play and there is one currently available at Mojo Sound in Wellington. If you would like to find out more then the best place is here on the Mattsen Website. Give Russ a call.
