Instruments
I build Tobias Berg guitars.
The guitars I build are steeped in traditional building techniques… I have my own ideas and vision of what I want to accomplish, both sound-wise and aesthetically.

Solid tops, fan bracingTraditional materials only. No double-tops, lattice, epoxy or Nomex.
Double sidesSince 2011 — for a directness of attack and a stronger fundamental.
Neck reinforcementA vital element of the design, for stability and sustain.
Solid liningsRecently adopted for gluing the top to the sides. Next: a Tornavoz.
"For tone, the double-sides give the guitar a deeper, almost 'cathedral-like' presence to the sound… Overall, one of the more charming and impressive makers in the world today."— Guitar Salon International
