With the goal of designing a modern take on the electric guitar I collaborated with the Guitar People company in Stockholm and Master luthier, Arne Arvidsson. Together we created an electric guitar, featuring aesthetic modern lines and great playability. Influenced by minimalistic, Swedish design and the essence of the beauty of an electronic guitar is revealed.
theTool – JL is new and different, born out of 35 years of guitar-making, with an undeniable, futuristic view.
The primary thought that drove the project from the beginning was to combine crisp, futuristic design and great playability.-theTool – JL, has an alder body, a maple neck and a fretboard made of ebony.
Guitar People is importing some of the world’s most outstanding handmade instruments, as well as in developing and producing their own guitars, under the brand name, theTool. When you purchase an instrument from Guitar People, you can rest assured that each single one is carefully configured, checked, and adjusted to your needs and satisfaction.
