INSTRUCTOR
STEVEN MATHER
Before moving to Nashville to work at GCA Nashville, Steven spent time in Austin, Texas, working at Collings Guitars and in Los Angeles at boutique builder Thorn Custom Guitars. At Thorn, he did inlay work for Fender’s Custom Shop and Gretsch. Stephen also spent two years working for the Masterbuilt area of the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, CA. He says Nashville has been a great fit for him: “I felt comfortable here immediately. The luthier community here is something I hadn’t experienced before — warm and welcoming, and very tight knit.”
