At Epic Electric, we’re driven by more than circuits and cables—we’re fueled by artistry. That’s why partnering with MSM Guitars, owned and hand-built by guitarist & craftsman Michael Scott Mason, felt like destiny. His tagline, “Live comfortably between clean articulation and sonic annihilation,” perfectly captures his mission—and mirrors our dedication to precision, creativity, and high-performance spaces.


Setting the Stage: From Warehouse to Guitar Sanctuary

Michael needed a workspace as meticulous and expressive as his instruments. We started with a clean and simple warehouse space, transforming it into a modern, high-tech guitar-building masterpiece:

  • Custom Circuit Installation – We installed all necessary line voltage conductors based on detailed plans, ensuring stable, reliable power delivery throughout the shop. From sanding to shaping, every tool now runs on a foundation built for consistency.

  • Seamless Panel Integration – New circuits were carefully terminated into the existing electrical panel, with a focus on clean organization and built-in capacity for future expansion as Michael’s shop grows or adapts.

  • Purpose-Built Power Connections – We outfitted the space with direct power connections and dedicated receptacles customized to vendor specifications. Whether powering up CAD workstations, CNC machines, routers, or finish-drying ovens, every outlet was installed with performance and safety in mind.


Our vision was clear: equip MSM with an environment that illuminates wood textures, wiring detail, and finishing processes while accommodating high-current machinery and future flexibility.


Craftsmanship, Aligned

Much like Michael sculpts wood and tone, we sculpted the electrical architecture with equal care. Every circuit run, junction box, and lighting plan was executed thoughtfully:

  • Positioned outlets exactly where Michael needed them—for shakers, sanders, soldering stations, and precision instruments.

  • Integrated power conditioning for sensitive gear, giving clarity for both CAD output and sonic nuance.

  • Designed with scalability in mind: adding future workbenches, ovens, or electronic rigs won't require a retrofit.


Shared Values: Artistry Meets Excellence

This project was more than technical—it was a cultural and philosophical alignment:

  • Attention to detail: Michael’s guitars are known for flawless fretwork, balanced tones, and ergonomic comfort. We brought the same mindset to wiring, grounding, and power distribution.

  • Form meets function: Just as MSM’s instruments are stunning in both looks and sound, our builds needed to respect aesthetic value and visual clarity. Concealed wiring, polished fixtures, and thoughtful lighting all serve the craft.

  • Built to evolve: Michael’s lineup evolves; new prototypes appear, and tools pivot. We mirrored that flexibility with modular trunking, labeled circuits, and expansion-ready panels.


The Result: A Perfect Harmony

Now, from the glow of the workbench to the hum of CAD prototyping and carving, the space is alive with creative potential. Michael can shift from crafting serene single-coil cleans to brutal high-gain textures, just as Epic Electric supports the quiet detail and high-tech demands that bring those tones to life.


What’s Next for Epic & MSM?

As MSM Guitars continues to evolve, so will the space around it. With growing demand and ever-advancing technology in the world of guitar-making, we’re excited about what the future holds—and ready to help power it.

  • Scaling Up Craftsmanship – As Michael adds new machinery and tools to keep pace with production and innovation, we’ll be there to provide the infrastructure—whether it’s upgrading panel capacity, integrating new power drops, or wiring advanced systems.

  • Tech-Ready, Artist-Driven – Future updates might include power and connectivity for evolving CNC platforms, precision sanding equipment, or specialized finishing tools—all tailored to MSM’s unique processes.

  • A Showroom Worthy of the Sound – One of our hopes? A dedicated showroom to display these stunning instruments under custom-designed lighting. (We’re looking at you, Michael!) From backlit walls to focused gallery spots, we’d love to help create a space where the guitars can truly shine.


In Conclusion

At Epic Electric, we believe excellence isn't a buzzword—it’s a mindset. Collaborating with Michael Scott Mason and MSM Guitars has been an inspiring journey, where our technical precision and his creative genius formed a perfect resonance.


Together, we’ve built more than circuits—we’ve built an environment that celebrates artistry, innovation, and the pursuit of sonic perfection. We look forward to amplifying even more of Michael’s vision—and powering the next wave of guitar artistry. 🎶
