Motherplucker Guitars is a name as unique as the guitars bearing their logo and luthiers Keith and Doug Felker have been hard at work on these eccentric pieces of art for over 10 years. However, they outgrew their basement workshop and decided it was time for something with more space for their growing needs. Now, they’ve moved into a warehouse in Middletown and made it their home. The space, located at 500 N. English Station Rd, houses a large workshop in the back, and retail area up front for customers to come see the current models for sale, design their custom build, or drop off repairs. The company offers various production models, ranging from classic, to avant garde, along with a fully customizable experience for the customer to make the build their own.
Building isn’t all that goes on in the warehouse, either. Have a guitar with a problem, want to make upgrades or modifications, or just need a tune up?
