Georg Bolin is celebrated as one of the pioneering forefathers of Swedish lutherie. With a long and illustrious career, Bolin left an indelible mark on the craft of instrument making. He also served as the leader and teacher at the prestigious Carl Malmsten Furniture Studies school, which hosted a guitar-making program from 1984 to 2007. This program nurtured many renowned luthiers, including Michael Sandén, Mats Nordwall, Lars Rasmussen, Joakim Grahn, and David Sundberg. Bolin's influence extended beyond his teaching; he designed guitars for esteemed brands such as Levin and Landola. Notably, Michael Sandén, one of his students, later became the chief designer for Tanglewood Guitars.
"...I am convinced that Georg Bolin will occupy one of the foremost places among those who devoted themselves to the art of instrument building." - Andrés Segovia
