"My idea was to recreate the sound and feel of the old classics, but with a unique and distinctive design of my own." Swedish master builder Johan Gustavsson perfectly captures that vision in his acclaimed Bluesmaster series.

Johan’s work with guitars spans well over two decades, and covers almost every aspect of the instrument. It gives him great understanding of what he calls “the inner being” of a guitar. Johan’s career includes experience as a carpenter of fine furniture, a touring and session guitarist, and an expert repairer and restorer of vintage guitars.

Johan’s Bluesmaster Junior and Special models are built to exact specifications by fellow master builder Gene Baker at the PBG USA workshop. Johan and Gene are in close contact at every stage of the build, for unsurpassed quality.
