My story
I've been working with guitars for about six years and I was 14 when I fixed my first guitar. The first guitar that I fixed was a 70's Sigma "Les Paul" that I bought beaten to hell and back with a crocked and cracked neck. I fixed the neck and soldered new electronics in place. When I was done, I realized it was just as fun fixing the guitar as it was playing it. A year or so later I got the chance to design and build my first guitar, by then I was 16.
By now I've turned 21 and I've built 3 more guitars, designed a couple more models and repaired and adjusted well over 50 guitars.
I'm currently also working as a guitar-tech for Swedish artist Brolle Wallmark.
I've also been working with a well-respected luthier in the Stockholm area named Peter Westerberg, from Westerberg guitars, who has taken me under his wings.

If your guitar isn't working, fear not. Fixing the electronics is a quick and easy fix, and is usually done within a day.

If it's a specifik part thats broken, I'll let you know before I replace it. Usually a new potentiometer adds a cost of 50 sek.
