Tornberg guitar is built in my small one-man-workshop, one at a time, from the finest materials with precision in detail and sound.
I shape each instrument to respond to the musician’s touch – to be sensitive, expressive, and balanced. My goal is simple: to build guitars that don’t just produce sound, but breathe with the player.
Handcrafted in Finland. Built with soul.
Juuso Tornberg – luthier, guitarist, and craftsman.
I had the good fortune to get to know Juuso Tornberg’s instruments through a friend. And now, less than a year later, I’m holding my own in my hands. What a guitar. What a sound. What clarity and richness of tone. What a beauty. What a pleasure to play.
Beautifully crafted guitars, very well balanced across the board, with a remarkable sustain and thick trebles. Perfect for fingerstyle with plenty enough headroom for strumming! A wonderful, handmade guitars with an inspirational voice!
Aside from the guitar’s wonderful looks, it also sounds so enchanting. With the skill and artistry he devotes to guitar making, and the consideration he puts into the details, Juuso Tornberg is a worthy contender for building your dream steel stringed guitar.
The feel is so comfortable, it’s the best fingerstyle guitar I’ve ever played. Even when playing hard, there is no string buzzing, and the barre chords are super easy to play. The dynamics are great, and the sound is huge.
Every Tornberg guitar begins with carefully selected tonewoods – chosen for their resonance, balance, and soul. Each instrument is voiced and crafted to respond instantly to your touch, from the softest whisper to the deepest drive.
You’ll hear the difference – a wide dynamic range, natural sustain, and tone that breathes with every note you play. No shortcuts. No compromises.
A Tornberg guitar isn’t just made to be played – it’s made to react. Whether you play with a light touch or push it to its limits, it follows you effortlessly.
Rich overtones, quick response, and clarity across every register. That’s the Tornberg tone – dynamic, alive, and unmistakably yours.
Every piece of wood behaves differently, even those cut from the same log. Choosing the finest pieces is essential to achieving the best possible instrument.
I adapt contemporary techniques into the building process. For example, structured sides, bolt-on and carbon fiber-reinforced necks, each contributing to sound production and enhancing the longevity of the guitar.
I dedicate significant time to carefully tuning each top and back to ensure excellent responsiveness and to match your personal musical style.
I blend exotic and traditional tonewoods in my guitars, accented with silver birch that once stood in our own yard.
Working by hand and using traditional tools ensures that every part of the guitar is fitted precisely in place, with every detail finished just right to achieve the best sound possible.
There are many options available to create your dream guitar, tailored to suit you perfectly — custom nut width, custom neck profile, Florentine cutaway, and more. Please inquire for further details.
I ship guitars worldwide. Every guitar has a hardcase included to protect the guitar while shipping. Shipping costs and any additional expenses are the responsibility of the customer.
Hear the Tornberg difference.
From delicate fingerstyle passages to powerful rhythmic strumming — each note carries warmth, clarity, and space. This is what a responsive guitar sounds like: a voice that grows, reacts, and evolves with you.
