The Tonewood Debate Is Over

Kvarberg

Through years of R&D, new production techniques and ingenuity, the Varberg is finally back in a new form. It offers a higher degree of customisability than any of our previous guitars while solving the original iteration’s main issue: layers. Build the ultimate guitar with up to 10 layers made of all the highest quality, most exclusive materials you could ask for. The “Kvar” in Kvarberg comes from the Swedish word “Kvar”, which means “left behind”. All materials used in the Kvarberg (while of the highest quality) are remnants from older builds that are not thick enough to use for a regular guitar build. Sonically, the Kvarberg can be anything you want it to be due to the freedom of choice in tonewood! Combine all your favorite classic tonewoods to make the ultimate tone machine.

Scale Lengths Adapted to You

A multi-scale design allows your wrist to remain relaxed throughout the range of play. A longer scale length for the heavier strings provide better tone, and shorter in the thinner strings better playability.
