EGW Guitars & EFX
CRAFTED TO BE BOLD
Built to be Played
It starts with a mindset
EGW Guitars is owned and operated Matt Ackerman - offering top quality guitar service, and its own line of custom electric guitars hand-built in Olympia, Washington.
Built to be played; Crafted to be bold. EGW Guitars are designed to inspire passionate guitarists to get out and make music.
Combining superior equipment service, expert knowledge, and an inclusive community, EGW ensures you have the perfect instrument to learn new skills, expand your comfort zone, and gain confidence in music and life.
In late 2023, we were honored to welcome Tortuga pedals into the EGW family - adding beautiful boutique effects to our product offerings.
A letter from Matt
I've been a guitarist since age 14, been working on my gear since I was 16, and performing since I was 15. But like many, I set music aside for a time to focus on what I believed was expected of me.
In 2020, as it did for many, things changed. Enough was enough. Existence is brief, and it was time to start living the way I needed to live.
I acknowledged where I was, decided what I wanted and where I needed to go, drew a crude map to follow on the way... and got to work.
Here we are, together, sharing a community built around the most inspiring musical force in our lives, the guitar. I am home and glad to have you here with me - wherever you are on your journey.
- Matt Ackerman (Owner)
EGW Backstage
Before EGW was launched as a business, there was a simple idea which began as a podcast. Casual conversations aimed to meet musicians, no matter their accomplishments, exactly where they are on their journey. Discuss, dialog, inspire, share... and help where we can.
Come hang out with Brion McCoy and myself each first Tuesday of the month when we livecast EGW Backstage: A guided look at life, experiences, and the ways & means of the guitarist's journey.
Of course you can always catch back-episodes as well.
Join us live for the next episode!
