Antones Swedish Day Party

Mr Billy Gibbons of the ZZ Top ( Texas big timers) testing out one of the guitars, in this case the Gibson (tune-o-matic), the first
Gibson I made.He knows the TT frets already,since he has order a several re-frets for some of his guitars already!
Caleb Rojas, our happy guitarist for the expos had a great time I think at Antones this day, and of course he did
use that guitar when performing ( and Caleb is very talanted upcoming guitarplayer, read my lips!)

Caleb Rojas posing after his opening performance at Antone´s, proud young man with a great guitar..yes!

The Texas Guys

We did get a very god contact wth Cliff and Wyatt. two guys that hopefully will be part of the
TT concept for custom frettings, withe their lovely bikes, great house in middle of nowhere, nice wolf and
a tasteful meal.....
If you have need for repairs, customized things and TT TrueTemperament neck , go for this guys!! Great and friendly, skilled and
serious! Phatkat Guitars Texas

Expo at Austin Lyric Opera

The way to let the artist just pick a guitar from the expo of their choice was great, cool to see using them when they was
performing........


Anders Nilsson and Ola,Joan, Eva, Annalee, Scott, Kim & Viktor and all help from all the people made it a great evening!
Art and Music, food and lot of great people did show up!
Aaron, a very talanted guy..very!

Serious, Aaron and Cello, how good is that?!!!!

Dayparty at dmx and Swedish Chamber of Commerce..

A word of truth from Austin based Mean Cat Eyes Bar....


Peppe and Caleb at the display at dmx dayparty, Our great young guitarist that turns up to be a really, really nice guy, are thinking of taking him to Sweden.


At the lobby to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, a display for all the 300 guests, on a 150 guest area, on the roof.
Great Party, lot of Swedes.....a doorman and a Ranger Bob did make the things sort out good at the end...
Ola make wonder again to be everywhere, get things working at the last minute and catching balls that everyone drops around...thank god that his parents did decide to do it that night long time ago!

Ikea and how we see ourself in that

Peppe....confused,but always has a plan but right now has no plan really......they think, but in the end, he´s always right!!


Ola Melzig....If something is not working directly, it´s gay, a phonecall to anyone will do the trick...if not, there are so gay...


Anders Thidell.....well, it´s says it all..he should not do this at all, since he´s the guy that should spend the time with his frets and guitars, the place where he is simply the best.

SXSW, at the fair...

Imagine 245 guitarist and 56 percussion players trying the best to be heard during the speed sets, where band plays in 10 minutes to attract people....great enviroment to demo a true tuned guitar...
Well, lot of people and even the art was seen, have not big thoughts about that....some really nice guys did look and tested my guitars....

Peppe and Anders Thidell at the Gear Alley Expo SXSW

Anders Nilsson, the texas boy


Texas is a great ranch county also...did I mentioned that?

General, Ettan or Grovsnus....

In Texas it is LongHorn of course!!! the claim It is the real thing...! ?
Something they have not a clue about is snus...taste like shit , period!

Big Rib Steaks...

Ola, Joan and TJ, Peppe, Eva and Anders are now suffering from what we in Sweden call " Paltkoma", in this case with pure ribs...
A half cow was served on a plate each, so...after a real Texas diner we boys felt like pregnant, but it was really good!
Anders is first prize on actually finished his 2 ton Rib Steak and be able to walk outside himself.....
First day of SXSW soon.......
Oh, yes, I did forget to tell that Peppe was having a Tequilamargarita that night as well....

Renting truck at last....

After finding out that no one then Texas born, cornflake licensed people can drive the actually trucks at the company we had contacted for our truck, we at the end find another one with a proper name also.....even Jerry will find this Ford F150 big, it is like the mean machine with longhorns on!!!

Now the stand at SXSW is done, will be good we hope. After a visit at Guitar Center where everyone treat us like big stars we feel good! ( Why, well Ola was heading there some day ago and had the GoldTop TT fretted on in the car, walking in and said:" -Hi, I bought this guitar and something is wrong with the neck, please help me out", The guys looks like stupid when looking at the frets and said, you must have exposed it for extreme heat or....similar, maybe...what the f'xxk is this!! It can´t be thrue this!! and everyone around the store needs to check this out, even customers...well it ended up that they really like it and understand the great thing about TT ....

The Body Clock

Yes, as always you fell like you need 27 hours sleep, and finally in bed it goes...Bing! Hello brain, want to play?

Ikea and the most ugly house in Texas

Ola and me at the Ikea, need 110v stuff.....Wierd to visit IKEA and Klippan, and all the names..in Texas...mmmm.meatballs, Only 3,99 USD
We did pick up the stands in Flugerville, McCoys Welding that made a great job..a little overkill actually....


Also he show us the house rebuild someone sick mind had convert to a kind of castle, looks like a thing from either Acne Castle or...horrible!

Guitar World...

The first thing at the terminal at Austin....cool!!!
