Jens is a guitar-string slinger, Fender amp-oholic, and the proud and humble founder of fenderguru.com, where he goes into detail about vintage Fender amps. His day job as Director of Business Analysis at a large Nordic telecommunications company is way more boring than writing for Premier Guitar about the things he loves. He has a master’s degree in electronics and telecommunication systems from Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and plays with the bands Zofa and the Underbones.
