About

Doug MacCormack studied acoustic guitar building with renowned luthier and author
of "Guitar Making-Tradition and Technology" William Cumpiano in 1979.

He then opened his own shop in Haverhill Massachusetts above the Haverhill Music Centre in 1980.
Times were lean but he began to develop a faithful following of loyal customers, some of who are still loyal customers to this day.

In 1982 he was hired by Daddy's Junky Music Stores, a 7 store chain at the time that eventually
grew to 21 stores throughout New England. He remained Daddy's primary guitar technician for the chain ever since
and has become well known as one of most sought after, respected and experienced luthiers in New England.

Daddy's and the repair shop had won awards too numerous to mention; At NAMM their renowned Service Department was awarded
the “Best Service in the U.S”, a record 11 consecutive years. (the award then was retired!)

As their primary guitar tech for the chain, he’s repaired many thousands of instruments of all types during his 30 years at Daddy's
while gaining a vast amount of knowledge and experience along the way.

His past clients include Aerosmith, The Cars, Beatle Juice, The Fools, Anthrax and many other notable artists.

In 2011 Daddy's closed its doors. Doug now works with a new company called "The Music Techs, LLC" and
the "Manchester Music Mill" in New Hampshire.
Several other award winning repair staff are also now a part of "The Music Techs” service center.
