About Me

California Guitar Craft graduate, working as a guitar repair tech for Fender Scandinavia.

I have many years experience working with music: Ive been playing guitar for 12 years, and spent 6 of these in the Swedish punkrockband (still active) DISCO VOLANTE, touring Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Holland, England and USA. We played with or supported bands like LIMP BIZKIT, IN FLAMES, NASHVILLE PUSSY, THE DWARVES, DEAD KENNEDYS, THE (I)NC, BACKYARD BABIES and the list goes on and on...

Im at the moment working on my second electric guitar (pics will be updated in the gallery) which means I have experience not only making electric guitars but to repair them and all there is around the subject.

Bands that Ive worked with so far: THE ANSWER (IE), VIVA HATE (US), THE HENCHMEN (US) and DISCO VOLANTE (S).
