Strandberg might be the most innovative guitars to release in years! But will they impress Lee & Pete, or are they just too focused on the future to be any good for more classic players!? Let us know what you think in the comments? | tinyurl.com/2cg4owfh

It's really refreshing to see a comment section filled with open minded "old-heads." The strandberg guitars are truly revolutionary, and deserve their praise. The look isn't for everyone that's for sure, but I definitely recommend you give them a shot before dismissing based on appearance.

I saw the guitars at the beginning and nearly skipped past this video, "nothing to see here" "not for me", and instead, stayed until the end. The more I saw the 3 of you with them the more normal it looked and I would consider myself a traditionalist at 65 but Id honestly and absolutely consider one of these. Great innovation.

Hi Peter, As someone the same age as you, I absolutely love playing my headless ergonomic guitars. When designed well they're lightweight and add no tension or stress to the shoulder, back etc. My favourite so far is a Forshage Orion, but would love to add a Strandberg Salen Jazz model to my modest collection. Go for it... I highly doubt that you'd be disappointed.

@Piplodocus 2 месяца назад

Played a Parker Mojo Flame pretty much exclusively for 10 years. Then I needed a more stratty neck sound too later. Couldn't beat a second hand Nitefly! Now another 10 years on I have a few Parkers. I mostly play my Nitefly with various mods and bareknuckles. Such an awesome guitar and the Niteflies are more easily mod-able than regular flies. Still love my Mojo, but the pickup config in the Nitefly does blues and funk as well as heavy riffing so great I'm not sure what I'd ever replace it with. I've looked too at other guitars out of curiosity, but they've just got such a nice feel, sound, nice features and so playable! The frets are 20 years old now on some, but still look new. Why spend money to get something with a less good trem or that's harder to restring or just doesn't sound as good or something else the Parker just does great?

@sihall1975 2 месяца назад

I'm primarily a blues and jazz player. I like "classic" guitars with medium C necks and traditional shapes, but I was intrigued by Strandbergs and the Endure neck profile. I couldn't justify spending 2K on one, but I bought a Boden Essential and it's a really good guitar. The ergonomics are great, the neck is awesome (although it took me a good half hour of playing to get used to it) and I'm super impressed by the build quality. Everyone should try one, you can even play blues on it!

I love the thing. It's so light and comfortable, with nothing in your way. It lives on my couch, and the fact that I can comfortably noodle with it while reclined means it gets played a lot!

I bought a Strandberg Boden last year. It has become my #1 guitar ever since and I even started selling other more traditional guitars as I don't use them anymore. It plays and sounds great, it's comfortable and very light so you can easily play for hours standing and sitting. I was wondering about the perception of folks when I play gig, but if anything, what I get is compliments on the guitar. Only other guitarists tend to think it looks odd, but then they try and like it. Everyone else think it looks great from the get-go!

@LunatiqueRob 2 месяца назад

I did exactly the same thing years ago. I wasn't sure if I would like the design, so when I saw the Eart W series and how cheap they were, I got a W1 and liked it, so I went ahead and splurged on a Strandberg. The Eart was great for a cheap guitar, but Strandbergs are in a whole different tier overall. I eventually ended up owning eight Strandberg models. I currently only have one left since I discovered there are characteristics I prefer in other guitars I own, but I will always have at least one Strandberg in my studio.

@glennmichaelthompson4112 2 дня назад

Headless ergonomic guitars have been around for some time now. Starting with the Gittler guitar in the late 70's, then Steinberger in the 80's and on to the Klein guitar. There are and have been many custom builders such as Rick Toone and his ergonomic designs, Chris Forshage's Orion model, and young Canadian builder Mike Sankey's one of a kind instruments... as well as many others. They just haven't become mainstream... Although now with Strandberg and several Kiesel headless models they are becoming more popular of late. I personally have 4 headless guitars which I started playing over 20 years ago. The Forshage Orion is an absolute master grade build and my Steinberger Synapse is an amazing "travel" guitar, and both instruments are extremely comfortable, lightweight guitars which I really appreciate as I'm getting older. I'd love to add a Strandberg Salen Jazz (semi-hollow) to my collection. Just my 2 cents. 😉

Proud owner of 7 Strandberg guitars. Great day to day instruments and they're fantastic for when I'm sitting for 8 hours teaching lessons. They definitely get the most attention, but I do have a Les Paul, a 335 and a few other instruments that do very different things that the Strandbergs can't. Goes without saying that I'm a lucky guy to have so many wonderful instruments.

@nobodybutusinhere 2 месяца назад

I splurged and I have a 6, 7, and an 8. I love the form factor, it's so light. I also had a Steinberger copy years ago so I love the headless. I'm ambivalent on the neck, it seems to be fine, though it's a little uncomfortable to play in first position on the 8 string. What really gets me about these guitars is the fingerboard. Maybe it's the frets, but the fingerboard is so incredibly smooth the guitars are just a joy to play.

@steppingrazor5520 2 месяца назад

I got interested when the arthritis in my neck got out of hand. It was the weight that first attracted me. All three of mine are under 6 pounds, one of them under 5. The Salen which is his tribute to a thinline Tele sounds amazing. I know a lot of people are put of by the variable scale, but it is extremely well done on the strandbergs and improved my bending technique on my guitars with traditional fretting. For older guitarists beginning to struggle with joint pain, etc very highly recommended. For others, also very highly recommended.

I bought a Boden because I was having lots of elbow and back problems from playing. After about two weeks of playing the Strandberg, all those issues went away and I could play for as long as I used to. I'm almost 50. I've never been too attached to aesthetics with guitars, but I do love how it feels to play these. I'll probably add another one to my collection.

@rtroupe7580 2 месяца назад

I bought a Boden Prog NX6 for travel along with my WAZA Air headset - it’ll fit in an overhead bin and isn’t much bigger than a tennis racket in the case. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do and I now play it more than any of my other guitars - even those twice the price. I find it amazingly versatile and super comfortable to play. I also get a lot of compliments on it from ppl who have seen it.

as a strandberg owner who has had a few friends try it out, the ones who find it difficult to use the fanned frets are those who had muscle memory of playing and stretching at certain points of the neck, where the spacing throws them off a bit. that said the fan angle isnt quite as aggressive as some other brands.

Strandberg if you are listening, Please make like a squire or epiphone style line that is more accessible. Even PRS has done this with the standards. Awesome video and Connor was perfect for show casing and speaking to this product.

@paleopasha Месяц назад

Seems like the EART GW2 is the closest budget option with the headless and the Strandberg shape but it won’t have the fanned frets or endura neck. But for under $400 and seemingly very good fretwork, those omissions are hard to complain about and of course no other brand will have that neck profile.

@scottnorem Месяц назад

It’s intriguing that Pete mentioned brands and settings they are played in. A really good friend and I both have strandberg guitars and we play in a P&W setting pretty regularly. There are times that we hesitate taking them, but man, they are soooo good and capable of doing so much that we feel like we may be missing something if we don’t have them. A lot of the time we record parts with them at home and then end up playing something else live. Maybe we should push the envelope a little and make them more common place in different situations!

I have all the old school guitars: Tele, Strat, LP and 335, but I play my Strandberg all day long. You can play it anywhere: at your desk while studying, composing or recording, on the sofa or even in an armchair. And with a lightweight strap it's even better.

These are really appealing. I like the more compact nature of them if traveling

So, can anyone explain the uncomfortable looking orange device up on the shelf next to the dB meter?

So awesome, and happy to see Connor, I follow him on IG, he’s an incredible guitar player and music creator 🤘

Just got my Strandberg Boden Standard a few days ago. I didn't like the thickness at first, but it's growing on me. The Endura-neck feels more like an asymmetrical V to me, and the fact that you don't need to follow the line makes it less spooky to approach. I'm getting used to the frets, and there a few things that are simply easier to play (like chords higher up on the neck), but I'll keep at it. It makes my Ibanez RG feel too heavy and the neck too slim at times. It's interesting.

My first 'real' guitar was a '79 Guild S-300 so ugly guitars are in my veins. What I will say about Strandbergs is that every single one I have heard from their least expensive on up sounds absolutely amazing. No matter the amp or the effects or the crappy speakers. Their sound is beautiful.

Just to let you know, the two dots above the a in the name Sälen makes it the same vowel sound as in the english words hair or bear etc. And Sälen is a small town in the Dalarna County in Sweden.

I love my prog green Boden 6 paired with my orange 🍊 stack ❤

The most interesting one to me is the Essential. I get why the company pushes the more expensive models, but the lack of multi scale is a bonus IMO. The Endure Neck is definitely interesting as a shape, though.

Personally I found the fanned frets don’t affect the playing experience much. I prefer the string tension especially on an extended range instrument.

@davidfaustino4476 2 месяца назад

It's all about that string tension and honestly that's probably the bigger selling point than having an endurneck on a 6 string.

Love the headless thing. If some company does a headless Precision Bass, I'm buying it immediately.

I'm going to try one I've always hated headless guitars, these seem sensible from a design point of view. I'm I'm very interested

I think a captain meets with ola strandberg would be awesome! He was on ola englund's channel a while back and he seems really interesting and cool to talk to!
