Rune Mandelid recently contacted me about building a couple of unique guitars for him. Rune's an extremely creative and accomplished jazz-and-more guitarist. I've gotten to know a little about his playing from clips that I've seen online. He recently sent me this....I thought it was technically astonishing and musically very beautiful. The link requires the latest version of Flash player, but even if you don't have it you may find it worth the trouble...

It's such an exciting challenge to build an instrument for someone as dedicated and briliiant as Rune. It's also exciting to look forward to hearing an seeing a few of my creations put to such use. I'm building two 7-string instruments for Rune. One's a steel-string, which is ready for lacquer now.

Soon I'll be building him a nylon 7-string to match. What fun!
