The Luthier Collective brings together skilled craftspeople in Somerville to serve the region’s string instrument community. Founded as a collaborative workspace for independent luthiers, the shop operates on an appointment-only basis with multiple specialized technicians under one roof.

Eva Broadway and Mariia Gorkun lead the collective, offering comprehensive instrument repair services alongside custom boutique guitar builds for players seeking one-of-a-kind instruments. The shop handles everything from routine guitar setups and fretwork to more complex restoration projects. Their full-service approach extends beyond guitars to include bow rehairing and repairs for various string instruments.

The collective model allows each luthier to bring their distinct expertise while sharing resources and knowledge. This collaborative environment benefits customers who gain access to multiple specialists without visiting different shops across the city. The team welcomes music teachers and additional luthiers interested in joining the collective, continuing to grow their community of instrument craftspeople. Their appointment-based system ensures each guitar tech can provide focused, quality attention to every repair that comes through the door at their Somerville Avenue location.
