Ok, I have to admit it: I'm not going to finish these guitars by friday... I at least tried but now I don't want to hurry so everything goes well all the way. I also want to take time to make first wooden pickup mounting rings as good as I can, not in hurry. But I'll be at the Tampere Guitar Festival on friday and saturday as planned, but unfortunately without these new guitars with new features. I will have there 1st generation Black Dogs with me and you are most welcome to test them! Hope to see you there! -Kristian #luthier #blackdog #tampereguitarfestival #wetterstrand #handmade #unique

I hope trussrods come tomorrow, they should have been here allready on friday... If not I must bring some other instruments to Tampere Guitar Show. Here's a taste what my new model will look like. And it's got 7 strings!

Uuh... It's happening! We get our own 5,4 kw/h solar power system on our workshop roof three years early from what we planned. So we have to find now new goals for next three years... But after few weeks our instruments are fully produced with solar power and also possibility for local woods if you like! I'm little bit excited here :D Yours, Kristian #wetterstrand #luthier #solarpower

Always wonderful to have musicians visiting our workshop! Tapio Miettinen's Wetterstrand cittern got one new tuner to replace broken one. Also little setup was done. You can hear more Tapio's playing in two weeks at Tampere Guitar Festival at the little stage on exhibition area. Welcome! #cittern #tgf #wetterstrand #tapiomiettinen

Saturday evening at the workshop... After nine years of sanding instruments by hand I finally let myself to go and buy this sanding machine. It is a joy comparing how I used to sand. No more pain in shoulders and arms I hope. Of course now I have to learn how to sand properly with this machine.
