I was in contact with Ola from before that post and he basically said the same. He told me to send the guitar back to Jim to get either a refund or rebuild by Astral...... If I knew he was going to bail like that I would have kept the Boden and sent it locally for a repair.
Now, that mail...
I have not posted in a while, but I still check ss.org frequently.
I'm one of the guys that bought a Strandberg on Septermber 2012 from S7 and I'm still waiting on a refund. At this point I'm pretty sure we are screwed, but if you guys have any news please share them.
Killer guitar and awesome tone!
I used to have a Peters, really tight and dry sounding amp, had to sell it since it didn't had a clean channel. I loved it and still regret selling it :(
I'm moving to Canada next week, so after I settle down I'll see what I'm going to get. It's either one of the legend 2 preamps, the stonehead or a e530.
I'm super impressed, sounds really good! It reminds me a little bit of a deliverance. I think that paired with your 2/90/2 it's going to sound even closer to a real vht.
I really can't believe how much tone these things pack, I really need to buy one. The main problem is to decide which one...
Depends on what you play, but here's a list of killer amps at that price
- ampeg vh140
- randall cyclone
- peavey xxl
- peavey rockmaster + rocktron velocity
- peavey ultra plus
From all of those the ultra plus is the best. Actually the ultra plus is still one of the best amps I've ever played...
I usually prefer blank fretboards, but that inlay really sets the guitar off. It's a really nice touch that the leaves change from red to black.
Just out of curiosity, how much did you have to wait?
