Michael Kelly Guitar Company was founded with a clear vision: to create instruments that prioritize exceptional sound and striking, boutique-inspired aesthetics. From our humble beginnings, Michael Kelly recognized underserved niches in the instrument market, initially focusing on mandolins and acoustic basses. Musicians at the time struggled to find instruments that delivered premium sound without an exorbitant price tag. Michael Kelly stepped in to fill this gap, and the Dragonfly collection of acoustic basses and mandolins quickly gained popularity. Players were immediately captivated by the custom look and feel, and soon fell in love with the superior sound and performance that Michael Kelly guitars offered.
Expanding our offerings in 2001, Michael Kelly Guitars introduced its first acoustic and electric guitars. These lines have continuously evolved, and today, Michael Kelly guitars are available worldwide. Our core philosophy, “Built On Sound,” remains the driving force behind every instrument we create. We are dedicated to adding a touch of visual flair, providing musicians with bold and distinctive guitars. Michael Kelly Guitar Company takes pride in offering alternatives to the commonplace, “cookie cutter” guitars prevalent in the market. While we respect the appeal of classic, simple designs, Michael Kelly aims to be the brand of choice for players who seek something more boutique and truly unique in their instruments.
