Tolvanen Guitars: Playing the Parts

Timo Tolvanen started as an apprentice carpenter but now uses his skills to build customised Tolvanen electric guitars.

He assembles the guitars from scratch in his garage, which has been converted into a fully functional workshop with an array of tools and machinery.

This story explores the benefits of quality craftsmanship versus the cheaply produced guitars that are available.
