Welcome to Bjarton.com

Welcome to the first and only website about Bjärton. Many Bjärton owners, along with me, have longed for a place where we can find some information about Bjärton. Bjärton was a Swedish guitar company that existed between 1946-1990. Bjärton was the also the manufacture of acustic guitars branded Hagström, Tarrega and España. 

Worldnews

One thing that is totally new to the world is that a dating lists has been found that makes it possible to date your Bjärton built instrument. The list 1 covers all production between 1962-1977 and the list 2 covers 1985-1990. For dating outside these dates we also have a reference list where you can compare your serialnumber and most likely get the date for your instrument. Check it out in "Dating".

Publisher  of this site

This site is run by a private person, that's me, a 40 years old musician who took the lead in making this homesite possible. Along with me I have many people who are helping me out. Tyko Runesson has done a great work filling this web with usefull material. Peter Lindahl has shared his knowledge and wisdom. Rickard at Vintage guitars has given me some helpfull information on dating and serialnumbers. All the people at the "akustiskt gitarrforum" has been a source of knowledge and inspiration. 

About co-workers/volunteers

That is my hope that many people will share their knowledge and contribue with everything about Bjärton. My mind is very open and I really want to invite everyone who wants to work with this webpage, cause it's not my webpage, it belongs to every single individual who has interesting and endores the beutiful art of Bjärton instruments. 

Feel free to post your pics, chat with others at the Forum and publish your questions to us. If that's not enough, we have sources who can tell alot about the issues of Bjärton. So if we don't know straight away, we can check it out. See the link "contact" at the top.

Is this all?

This site is still under construction and will be completed along the way. Of course our goal was to have a more complete site but I felt the same time that the information about the new dating list has to be published and shared to all of you who own a Bjärton. We decided instead to built and complete this site along the way.

Donations for running this website are more than welcome!

 

Cheers!
