Juha's instruments are regarded in various books, magazines and countless independent sources as some of the finest in the world. Each and every Ruokangas instrument is handmade by a small team of highly skilled luthiers in the heart of southern Finland. “The guitar can be a very intimate instrument. You hold it close to your body when playing - and when everything falls into place, the guitar can become your best pal. Your guitar may help you to get your job done better - or soothe you at times of need. A custom made instrument can reflect your personality - or send a message to your audience. For me, the guitar is like a magic wand, that has the ability to do miracles.” - Juha Ruokangas / Master Guitar Maker Guitar Creator Development Team: Juha Javanainen, Junnu Vuorela, Jarno Vesa, Emma Elftorp & Juha Ruokangas
