Another GammelGura ready, the last two are on their way. This one is old, about 1900. The worst problem with it was that someone carved their names on the lid and I had to repaint it. Otherwise no big problems. It got a new fretboard and a replica stable, otherwise business as ursual. Right now …
The newest GammelGuran to date. A completely normal Levin model 27 Texas from 1952 with faded sunburst and loose neck, bought at a flea market for under a hundred. To add a little something extra, it got a new rosewood fingerboard and a new peg head instead of the old "string through" head. New tuning screws in bright nickel and string pegs...

Roger has a magical touch.” " Hasse and Pär say that GG attracts a lot of attention :-). Terzen is cruel and so are the others.” …
The latest to be completed is a cool old guitar from around the 1910s. Sold by JP Sjöberg in Sundsvall, the business was active from the 1870s until the 1950s. Have seen several guitars with the same type of pearl murmur around the sound hole. Magnificently worse. Cracks in the lid and a slightly too thin fingerboard in brazilian…
