Mike Doolin's background in music performance, software engineering and graphic arts contribute to the design of instruments which are both highly functional and strikingly beautiful.  His instruments all feature his double-cutaway design which provides clear access to all frets, his pinless bridge design for easy string changes, and his Adjustable Neck Angle System which allows easy action adjustment for the life of the instrument.

Mike Doolin has been a professional guitarist for 35 years and a luthier for 25 years. As a musician, he has performed and recorded with a variety of artists. As a luthier, Mike has built instruments for recording artists Esperanza Spalding, Muriel Anderson, John Stowell, Justin King and Nancy Conescu. He has written extensively on lutherie topics for the Guild of American Luthiers, and served as guest lecturer at the Roberto-Venn School of Lutherie, the American School of Lutherie, Healdsburg Guitar Festival, the Montreal Guitar Festival and the Guild of American Luthiers Conventions.
