About Me
The History
— How it all began
Guitars are ingrained in my DNA. I’ve dedicated my entire existence to mastering the guitar. With a father who achieved fame as a renowned guitar craftsman in Sweden, my path to picking up the guitar was the most logical step. The legends of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s guitar scene filled my childhood, igniting dreams of joining their ranks. My aspiration was pursued relentlessly, pouring in hours of practice day in and day out. At 20 years old, I ventured to Los Angeles, a move that tested the depths of my skill. One year at the Musicians Institute of Technology GIT and nearly five years of live performances and spontaneous jams across LA solidified my expertise. The era’s paramount guitarists and builders encompassed me, a truly enriching experience.
The History
— How it all began
Having worked as a guitartech across various guitar shops worldwide, my aspirations have always centered around crafting my very own guitar brand tailored to players. These are musicians who not only share my fervor for the craft but also deeply value the seamless playability and emotional resonance of their instrument—an extension of their very being. Picture an instrument that effortlessly inspires spontaneous melodies and draws forth the artistic essence from within.
The History
— How it all began
In 2017, I took the leap and established MANIC GUITARS, my personal venture. The resonance of my brand rapidly reverberated throughout the guitar community, catching the attention of renowned guitarists like John Norum (Europe, Dokken) and Fredrik Åkesson (Opeth, Talisman). Intrigued by the buzz, they reached out to explore what the fuss was all about. In due time, they proudly became ambassadors for my brand, enthusiastic to amplify the message of MANIC GUITARS far and wide.
