Welcome to Erie Guitar Company

As a dedicated musician myself, I understand that your guitar is more than just an instrument – it's an extension of you, a cherished part of your musical journey.

I pride myself on offering meticulous repairs and personalized setups that cater specifically to your playing style. Unlike the impersonal service you might find at big box centers, I take the time to get to know you and your guitar, ensuring it feels, sounds and performs exactly the way you need it to.

From the moment you drop off your guitar to the time you pick it up and beyond, I'm here to provide exceptional service and expert craftsmanship every step of the way.

Let's bring your guitar back to life together.

  • "Best repair and guitar maintenance around these parts. I’ve had over 20 guitars modified, repaired, and/or set up by Erie, and will be back for more. Want your guitar to sound like you want it to sound, look how you want it to look, and play how you want it to play? You found the place!"

  • "I was able to purchase a guitar from Erie Guitar Company ,and am very, very happy with the work Matt did on it, he is a great technical guy, but the aesthetics are what prompted me to buy the Strat copy from him. It is one of the most attractive guitars I have seen or owned , and in meeting him when I picked it up, I could tell he was a special , thoughtful tech guy, but one who also knew about making useful, but beautiful guitars."

  • "I recommend Erie Guitar Company not just for the great work which you’re sure to be pleased with, but also the breadth of guitar knowledge. Not only that, but they’re a company you can trust! I just dropped off my 3rd guitar for work and will be looking to send them more."

  • "Hey Cleveland guitar players... Erie Guitar Company is fabulous. Matt Fornes does amazing work, is very reasonable, and has a super quick turnaround. When I took my Taylor Koa Mini to Matt it was playing like crap and had an issue with a tuning peg. He gave it a complete set-up, did some fret and bridge work, and took care of the tuning peg issue. In less than 2 days I got it back and it plays like a dream!!! Couldn't be happier! Better than at any point since I've owned it. I highly, highly, highly recommend for any guitar-related work."
