The Luthier

In 1975 my parents gave me my first guitar, it was the best gift a 10 year old boy could get. A new dimension came into my life and I played it for countless hours, "till my finges bleded" (quote Mr Adams)

 

Growing up in the familys furniture factory, wood and craftmanship became an essential part of my life.

At the age of 19  I finished a 3 year education as a  diploma cabinet maker and the basic wood working skills to become

a  luthier was optained.

I belive that wood is one of the worlds most important recourses,

working with wood for more than 3 decades  have turned into a passion for this amazing material.

When customers enter my workshop they often say “what an amazing smell of wood" ,

Yes the masculine smell of cedar tree, or the sweet vanilla odur from Brazillian rosewood is not to be mistaken.

I carry a collection of tonewood with many exotic and rare species.

When a guitar is ordered, the customer  can choose  between several tonewood sets of the desired species,

The Guitars

 

Building a guitar is a complex but amazing process. It requires years of experience

And takes quite an amount of hours to optain the quality that I aim for.

When a guitar is ordered all materials are carefully selected from the highest quality awailable.

 

 Each part is then shaped, carved and sanded to perfection before assembly.

Thin coats of nitro celluoses laquer are applied as finish.

 

During the building process I prefer to have the customer coming by to watch the progress

and approve various details like neck shape ect.
