This week's guest on The Jay Jay French Connection: Beyond the Music is THE master guitar maker Juha Ruokangas. Juha is a Finnish guitar maker & entrepreneur who founded Ruokangas Guitars. Ruokangas Guitars builds solid-body and semi-hollow electric guitars, including models such Duke, VSOP, Mojo, Hellcat and Unicorn. Their company builds guitars using traditional methods – no modern computer-controlled machinery or serial production methods are used. Each guitar is built individually by a luthier. Tune in to hear how, in the endless world of possibility that is guitar making, Juha & his team have discovered the magical balance between tones & woods that Ruokangas Guitars uses, & why Juha considers guitar making to be comparable to alchemy. Jay Jay & Juha discuss how they met, their mutual respect for one another, & get into the weeds on all things guitars - hear this conversation only on The Jay Jay French Connection: Beyond the Music.
