Åstrand Guitars - introduction and photos.
Hi!
Like many other builder's and player's I have been visiting the forum for a number of year's but never taken the opportunity to introduce myself or my work. I currently have my shop in Stockholm, Sweden where I spend my days building. Before opening my workshop I attended a 3 year full-time luthiery school in Sweden. I also spent 3 months in Phoenix working as an apprentice under Jason Kostal whom I know many of you are familiar with. I visited the Woodstock show in 2012 in company with Jason kostal and I know I met allot of people from the forum whilst I was there. Hopefully I can contribute to the forum in the future and I'm going to try to visit one of the mayor US guitar shows soon! I thought I would share some photos of my two latest build's, my OM-size model and parlor guitar. /Ted Åstrand www.astrandguitars.com

Welcome, Ted! A round of applause for you! Your guitars are brilliant, beautiful, the epitome of elegance. I think I can hear the beautiful music, just from looking at them.
Please consider yourself a member of the family here. I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd like to get to know you and your splendid instruments better. Best of Good Fortune to you! steve

Welcome to the forum, Ted.
Beautiful body shapes. Very good eye. I particularly like the abalone appointments on the OM. The 0 is particularly harmonious for such a small guitar.

Wow, what a nice and warm welcome! Thanks everybody for the nice comments!
In the evenings while the dust is settling in the workshop the AGF is a great source of inspiration for me. Hopefully me or a costumer can post a future build thread, so you can examine my work more closely and get a better idea of how I build my guitars. I look forward to sharing more future work and hopefully I can chime in on different topics around the AGF.
