It´s been just about twenty years since
I built my first guitar during an apprenticeship in a furniture workshop
in Malmoe, Sweden. As a young guitarist I could not afford expensive name
brand instruments. That's why I decided to find out if I could manage
to build a guitar on my own. Lots of wood and machinery was right in front
of me. My first instrument won first prize in a contest arranged by the
magazine HIFI & Music. My curiosity paved the way to forming JG Guitars,
when my three year education was completed.
I have been a professional touring and session guitarist for well over
2 decades. My vast experience with the repair and restoration of the
most
coveted vintage guitars that Fullerton and Kalamazoo ever produced has
informed my aesthetic. My experiences as both a luthier and a seasoned
player made it abundantly clear that I had to supply my clients with
instruments that at least rivaled the finest vintage and boutique guitars
available,
both in terms of playability and beauty. My guitars are built of only
the finest Brazilian Rosewood, old growth Honduras Mahogany, Swamp Ash
and Eastern hardrock Maple. Hardware options are limited only by availability.
My instruments are completely built with both passion and precision.
The
satisfaction of each individual client is job one. Simple as that!!
My latest model is the Bluesmaster. My idea was to recreate the sound
and the feel of the old classics, but with a unique and distinctive design
of my own. The Bluesmaster is here for you to experience. |
