ABOUT
I wrapped my hands around the guitar neck at an early age,
inspired by my father who used to play in a Swedish punk band.
Early on he introduced me to Jimi Hendrix and quickly I became completely lost in the world of music. Not many days have passed without me playing or thinking about guitars.
Around the age of 14 I built my first electric guitar in woodworking class, that opened up a whole world for me. I wanted to explore the whole universe of sounds that could be formed by guitar strings.
As an educated carpenter, I had worked with wood for over 10 years before I applied to Musikinstrumentakademien, which helped me refine my craft and deepen my knowledge and interest for guitars and guitar building.
My workshop
At the moment my workshop is located in Zinkensdamm, Stockholm, Sweden where I share a 250sqm space with four other luthiers. It’s a highly creative environment that keeps my knowledge and passion for guitars and guitar building growing.

After playing a 1969 Greco FA67-70 (a blonde ES-175 copy that was great) the owner of the shop asked if I wanted to try the Valkeapää. I was almost too
