A Ted Åstrand guitar will bring you to tears. Flawless construction, understated and clean lines, and a voice that inspires at the first pluck. We’re smitten with this Å-SJ, the first SJ of Ted’s we’ve had in the shop. African Blackwood back and sides pair with an Alpine Moonspruce top and Ebony bindings, with a burl rosette and MOP “Å” at the headstock—the complete package is subtle and elegant. The tone is precise to a T, and so darn clean; a powerful fingerstyle guitar for Standard or Open Tunings.
This kind of lutherie is world class, and we couldn’t keep this Åstrand in the shop for long. Want the next one? Let us know! We’re happy to reserve our next slot with you.

I'm so proud to work with Ted. His guitars are absolutely phenomenal. The lower mids have an especially sweet response here, thanks to the Moonspruce top and African Blackwood back and sides. This is our first Å-SJ, and the larger lower bout really gives the bass extra headroom to project. | Scale Length | 25.5000 in |
