B-stock Strandberg Boden Prog NX6. Richlite board , no sprout issues, Suhr pickups, perfect construction and service and 600 off. I cannot find any flaws....I've reached the promise land! Thanks Ola!
Guitar wood has nothing to do with the pickups bro. Those pickups just suck. I own that exact same guitar. Put pickups in it i was familiar with and it sounded EXACTLY like my other guitar's with those pickups. Edit: you forgot to mention the unlevel frets....
Great points 🙂 For a $1,600 guitar to have issues a $500 has is concerning. The headless bump at the first fret would bother me and I would end up sanding it down 🤷♂️
Totally happy with my strandberg boden plini neck-thru. It feels great, very good for fast playing and a really great sound with the neck pickup and neck-bridge combined. The bridge pickup alone sounds bad (for me). It's a ridiculously expensive guitar but I love playing it, so much that I no longer touch my Suhr Modern and Schecter Nick Johnston Custom shop. In fact I'm selling those now... Might look at a headless Kiesel as well when the others are sold. 7-string Vader maybe.
The problem with the strandberg is that it wasn't built in the 1950s. I constantly hear people criticizing the strandberg and then praising a Gibson les paul, a guitar made with the wrong design for 70 years, with modifications proposed and then rejected by the purists themselves. Idiocies.
What is the advantage of doing so. Why not just drive in Auto mode and when you run out of battery the Auto mode will direct the gas resource to where it needs to go. That is unless you need the battery to for other reasons outside of driving, or the EV mode is faster.
I’m going to try that. I’ve had heartburn most of my life. It’s hereditary. Back in 2009 I found out I had Barrettes. So I had the ablation done. Also my dad died of Esophageal cancer. So I got myself checked that’s how I found out I had Barrettes. Fast forward to 2021 my barrettes was gone. This past January I got tested and found out my Barrettes came back I have appointment this coming month to see about getting the Oblation done. I had a feeling my Barrettes came back because when I got heartburn I got real sick like flu like symptoms so I was laid up in bed for a day and got buzzing in my ears. So I want to try the Aloe. I heard to use pure aloe with no surgar.
"You can't take a broomstick and put pickups on it and make it sound good." Jim Lill has tested something equivalent and something even more extreme. Watch to the end: 'Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In An Electric Guitar?'
I sold mine less than a year owning. Poorest tuning stability on a trem, cheapest finish I've seen, at this price no roasted neck (?!), most flat stock pickups on the market. Most comfortable body though..
@@deejay7339 After having bougt one and having played it for a year, I sold my PRS and my Dick Dykman guitars, because I didn`t play them anymore. Its not perfect, but a great, easy to play, comfortably light and good sounding guitar (H-S-S). Btw. best tuning stability, I ever had. Better than PRS and Floyd Rose.
Shape is irrelevant in anything other than an ergonomic sense. Nor do "tone woods" make a difference. They are a myth put out by guitar manufacturers to justify exorbitant costs . Don't get the wooden neck. Get the man made version. It will never warp or sprout.
Also good if you drive to an airport and leave your car for many days … in that case charging the battery around 50% is better than leaving it at it empty state
Some of these, I don't feel are that relevant. Fret sprout can happen on any guitar, especially imports, and especially anything that's going from dramatically different climates here in the US. My Boden 8 arrived nearly in perfect tune without issues, but the next day was sharp - changes in humidity from the west coast to the midwest. I didn't have issues with the frets at all, but my Boden has a roasted maple neck and fretboard. The satin paint, I mean.... that's what happens with satin paint. And personally, I love the placement of the input jack because it ensures the cord is always out of the way. I've never damaged the finish mine across several different Strandbergs. And, the thing with the chording and the headpoint... I'd argue that's just not a good/efficient technique in the first place, but any guitar with a volute will create the same problem. And, the chambering and lighter body absolutely does make the guitar sound fuller. There may be a pickup/EQ issue, but no guitar I own has the bell-like fullness my Bodens do. If you're used to heavier guitars, you may just need to dial back your treble and presence settings.
Thank you for saying what people won’t say. It’s what matters most to us especially if we’re looking to buy our first electric guitar. I chose the Strandberg Boden Classic on Thomman store and I’ll make sure to tell them to check for sharp frets to file them down if they happen to be sharp.
no you can not, if you could someone would have done it and dont say they have because every one of those guitars sounds laughable or worse, no one would ever ever record with something that sounds like that.
@@elevenAD Hate to break it to you but the whole body and tone wood debate was debunked by a man on RU-vid in 2017 if I remember correctly, he made a blind test that conclusively sounded exactly the same as a famous Strat model and he made that sound by tightening strings between two tables, aka literally air. He also made hundreds of tests to conclude that body absolutely has no influence on the matter. Pickups and speaker matter, the rest are variables that are not made by the wood or body but rather by tiny uncontrollable variables as not even two of the same guitar sound the same. Some manufacturers even came out and straight up said that any attachment of players to the wood or shape of guitars are purely sentimental and serve no other purpose beyond looks and feel. Lastly to add a personal anecdote, I've recorded countless metal tracks without people even noticing a single bit that it was recorded on a jazz guitar, so the guitar seems to have no influence on the sound. No hate though, just informing. I personally prefer old cool guitars though, I love the innovation of Strandberg but it looks so goofy to me sadly, but I still want one. xD EDIT: Found another video concluding that not even the pickups nor the amp matter, you can make anything sound like anything, the only genuine part that matters seems to be the mic recording the sound and the speaker inside the cab. When it comes to amp sims they are made to sound different to make you feel justified with your purchase to ease the buyer in their choice, but IRL it was concluded that even those factors don't matter. This was found by an audio engineer called Glenn Fricker on his SMG Studio channel I believe it's called, and if you want I can even add the other guy that did the table test if you are curious. Ok acoustic detail messanger out for now. xD
Very honest, thoughtful review. The Strandberg I'm most interested in is the six string Boden Essential. But I'd have to try one at a shop before deciding on adding one to my guitarsenal.
Being a previous owner, I have a few things to say. Yes this guitar is unique, has a cool look, and is comfortable to play due to its weight....however If youve ever played a true high end guitar, or more specifically a fully hand built guitar (esp japan, boutique guitars like mayones, or something along these lines), youll instantly notice and feel the low quality this guitar has. Messy assembly, poor quality wood, sharp edges especially where the fretboard meets the bottom of the neck, and annoying to work with bridge. Its just not there for the price point. Again, I respect the hell out of what it did for the community and advancement of our traditional designs. But the price absolutely does not justify the unique design of these instruments. Maybe their custom shop models, but surely not the mass produced models.
Ehrm! I own several ESP J:s with outstanding quality. Still I prefer my Masvidalien Cosmo over any of them. The quality of my Cosmo is easily on par with all my ESP's. I have owned several Strandys including the Modern Guitarist limited run Boden and noone was poorly built. However I sold my PRS, Fender custom strat, Gibson Flying V x 2 to buy Strandys instead (kept my ESP's). Happy customer here.
