Jon has been repairing stringed instruments for over thirty years, since opening the shop in 1981. His particular interests lie in Martin flat top guitars, banjos and the amplification of acoustic instruments.

Mike began his career working on the road as a guitar tech in Seattle. Life on the road was exciting, but it offered little opportunity to grow as a luthier. So he moved to Boulder in 1995 and after looking around, found Woodsong’s to be the best option for learning and practicing the craft. With a well-rounded knowledge base and a real thirst for learning new things, Mike is the “jack of all trades” in the shop. There are few jobs that he will not take on. Mike is trusted by many for his mandolin, violin and dobro work.

A graduate of the Roberto-Venn School of Lutherie, Matt Joined the Woodsong’s Lutherie team in the spring of 2000. While primarily interested in the guitar in all its various forms, Matt also enjoys working with electric basses, mandolins, violin family instruments, and the occasional banjo. Matt is particularly interested in working with vintage guitars, and has an affinity for vintage Gibson guitars in particular. 

Greg Nichols started his lutherie career at the Roberto-Venn school of Lutherie in the spring of 2002.
