True Temperament

We are proud to see our Artist Relations representative, Per Nilsson, spending time with some true rock legends at Extreme’s after-show gathering in Stockholm.

During the evening, Per had the opportunity to talk guitars, music and tone with Nuno Bettencourt, who has long been a supporter of True Temperament. In fact, all acoustic guitar parts on Extreme’s latest album Six were recorded using Nuno’s acoustic guitar equipped with True Temperament frets.

It is always rewarding to see world-class musicians embracing our technology and discovering the benefits of improved intonation, wherever they play.

From rock stages to symphony halls.

True Temperament artist Gretchen Menn continues to explore new musical territory, this time recording at the legendary Skywalker Sound for the upcoming Six String Symphony project alongside Kitt Wakeley, Russ Hewitt and Tony Correlli.

Known for her incredible versatility, Gretchen brings her musicianship and her True Temperament-equipped guitar into a unique collaboration that blends orchestra and classical guitar quartet.

We can't wait to hear the final result. Enjoy the video and follow Gretchen's journey into this exciting new musical adventure.

What an adventure to spend two days at Skywalker Sound with Kitt Wa...

We are proud to welcome John Norum to the True Temperament family.

Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of delivering this guitar to John in the studio.

The body and hardware came from John himself, and we paired them with one of our True Temperament necks. The final assembly was carried out by Fredrik Kriström.

The guitar was put to work immediately in the studio and played through Gary Moore’s legendary Marshall amplifier, now owned by John. The result was simply magical. John is not only a guitar virtuoso, but also incredibly meticulous when it comes to sound and tone. His knowledge of the relationship between guitar, amplifier and everything in between is truly remarkable.

We also had the opportunity to hear Fredrik Åkesson improvising live in the studio with the TT Strat. An unforgettable experience.

The TT Strat received the ultimate seal of approval and was tested in the very best way imaginable. https://truetemperament.com/produkt/standard-s-neck-rosewood-fingerboard/

Fresh from the True Temperament factory in Trollhättan, another batch of beautiful guitars is preparing to begin its journey across the globe. Each instrument is destined for a new owner somewhere out in the wide world, carrying Swedish craftsmanship, innovation, and a passion for perfect intonation. It’s always exciting to see these guitars leave the workshop and start making music in new hands. Safe travels, and enjoy the ride!

Sweden Rock 2026 – What a Ride!

And just like that, another Sweden Rock has come to an end.

What an amazing few days it has been. Our backstage tent has been packed with visitors from morning until late at night. We’ve had countless conversations about guitars, music, tone, craftsmanship, and of course True Temperament. We’ve met old friends, made new ones, seen some fantastic bands, and we’re happy to say that quite a few new orders found their way onto the books as well.

To be honest, we were so busy that we barely had time to take photos. Among today’s snapshots you’ll find members of Treat, including Nalle Påhlsson proudly showing one of his True Temperament-equipped basses, as well as members of Yngwie Malmsteen Band including Yngwie’s guitar tech, bassist, and drummer. We also had the pleasure of welcoming members of Clawfinger and many others who stopped by throughout the festival.

The greatest takeaway, however, is not the photos. It’s the people. The curiosity, the enthusiasm, the support, and the genuine interest in what we do. Every conversation, every riff played, every guitar passed from one set of hands to another reminds us why we’re so passionate about this journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, tested our instruments, shared their thoughts, asked questions, and helped make this year’s Sweden Rock such a memorable experience.

If Sweden Rock left you dreaming about your own True Temperament instrument, remember that you can reserve your place in the production queue directly through our webshop. Simply place a 20% deposit and we’ll secure your build slot, with the remaining balance due when your instrument is ready for delivery.

Until next time, thank you Sweden Rock.

We’ll see you down the road. 🤘

Sweden Rock Diary #2 – No Time for Photos!

The traffic through our backstage tent just keeps increasing. To be honest, there are so many people stopping by that we hardly have time to take photos.

Just like during the first days, we’re meeting a constant stream of curious players discovering True Temperament for the first time. At the same time, even more longtime fans are dropping by to talk guitars, share stories, and test our latest creations.

A lot of attention has been focused on our new TT Labworks guitar as well as the Freak Guitar Lab ULV models, all built by us in Trollhättan, Sweden. Both have been getting a serious workout from players throughout the festival.

The guys from Zuta Group have also been busy all day, with a steady flow of visitors checking out their products and joining the conversations.

Among yesterday’s visitors were Tommy Johansson of Sabaton, guitarists from Dirkschneider, numerous guitar techs from various touring bands, Roine Stolt, Andy La Rocque, Love Magnusson, Victor Olsson, Gathering of Kings and members of Velveteen Queen.

What makes Sweden Rock so special is the mix of artists, technicians, builders, and dedicated music fans. New friendships are made, old friends reconnect, and guitars are constantly changing hands.

The atmosphere is fantastic, the conversations are endless, and the interest in True Temperament continues to grow.

Sweden Rock delivers exactly what we came for.

True Temperament at Sweden Rock Festival – The Backstage Buzz Is Real

True Temperament is once again on site backstage at Sweden Rock, and the tent is buzzing from morning to night.

Curious guitarists stop by to experience True Temperament for the very first time, while longtime believers drop in to hang out, talk guitars, and share their experiences. It has become a meeting place for musicians, techs, builders, and tone enthusiasts from all corners of the festival.

Over the past days we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming artists and crew including John Norum, Stephen Platt, Flemming Clausen Lund, members of Jelusick, Ego Kill Talent, Trivium, John 5, Eclipse, and even the guitar tech for Adrian Smith.

Keeping the good vibes flowing is our own artist relations manager, Per Nilsson, making sure everyone feels welcome and gets the chance to explore what True Temperament is all about.

We’re also proud to be sharing the tent with our friends from ZUTA, as passionate, supportive, and welcoming as ever.

Great conversations, great players, great music, and a lot of perfectly intonated guitars. Sweden Rock never disappoints.
