My guitar store Jam Gitarrer is since february 2007 the home for "Svensk Gitarrbyggarcentrum" or "The Swedish Guitar Builder Center" where 4 fulltime luthiers take care of our customers instruments, and build on custom order. I have moved my entire workshop into the store as well, but I haven´t had much time to get my hands dirty lately as the daily business takes up all my time. We´ve expanded our store with over 200m2 and the store is now the main guitarstore in the JAM music store chain (9 stores) with both acoustic and electric instruments and amplifiers. Does about 800 guitars make you drool? How about over 100 amps and tons of effect pedals?
The D´Aquisto project is finished, and resulted in a beautiful classical guitar!

Now it´s 2006 and I am currently working on the most important guitarbuilding project in my career, more on this here
Since August 2005 you can enjoy Santa Cruz guitars at Jam Akustiskt, we are now proudly representing Richard Hoover and crew on the Swedish market. Ever played a real Tony Rice model in brazilian rosewood? We´ve got 2. I consider SCGC guitars to be the finest new instruments on the market today.
In November 2004 I got started on a new batch of electric guitars, slide show in Slideshows
Early December 2003 it was finally time to move in to my new workshop located right at Brommaplan in Stockholm, Sweden. The link shows the location on a zoomable map at Via Michelin.com
After working with repairs, restorations, buying and selling at the vintage guitar store Toys From The Attic in White Plains, NY since 2001 I am now back in Sweden and since July 1st 2003 I am working at JAM Akustiskt in Stockholm, Sweden. The store is located at Roslagsgatan 7. In the store you can play and enjoy over 400 acoustic instruments in a peaceful environment. Me and my colleague Andras Novak both build and repair all kinds of fretted instruments, so feel free to stop by with your instrument, or just come in and play!
This website was launched right after I finished my exams in Markneukirchen, Germany, and just before I moved to the US to further my knowledge in vintage guitars.
