Juha Ruokangas interview: builder of the @Ruokangas Captain Nemo guitar
For Pierre Journel
Published on 2014-11-27
Juha Ruokangas was one of the guitar builder I really wanted to meet during the Holy Grail Guitar Show, that's why I was thrilled to do a 45min video interview with him. Juha has established a brand so highly regarded in the guitar world that I had a tons of questions to ask him. Furthermore, he had just finished one week earlier a 3 year long project with the Captain Nemo guitar (see below) so he had a lot to tell.
