    Yet another Swede... I haven't tried his guitars, but they are getting pretty awesome reviews in Sweden. Has anyone, by any fat chance, tried one of his guitars?

    The Bluesmaster seems like a must-have!

    Anyone getting GAS?

    Never seen one of his guitars...

    I had the chance of playing on a Mabass guitar once (yes, another fine swedish handbuilt).. Really nice craftmanship!

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Wonder how I could get one?

    Last time I was in Malmo, I visited Johan's shop. In fact I have a photo of me in myspace page, where I hold a semi-finished JG guitar!

    Johan seemed to me a very nice guy, and a truly great luthier. He had some high standards about guitar building methods, parts, etc, which he doesn't compromise upon.

    Ok, now for the bad news. Unless something has radically changed recently, all guitars are built by hand and Johan can make only a few per year. You are looking to, perhaps, a couple of years of wait time.

    Spud, all of Johan's guitars are 100% custom, he just offers a few "model" designations to base your individual instrument on. I don't believe he'd have any problem implementing any custom contours, etc, that you'd like.
