    Strandberg 2017 lineup

    Thanks for your post and enquiry. As mentioned in my post, we are indeed starting out with a limited number of what some would consider "boring" or "vanilla" color and feature options. It's very easy to create every body color, fretboard wood, body wood, pickup and hardware color option...

    Strandberg 2017 lineup

    Guys, I totally understand the skepticisms and rolling eyes in regards to the pricing. Obviously, I can't get into the details but I can confidently say that the costs of our guitars from the factories (what they charge us) is typically higher (sometimes a lot more) than the street prices of the...

    .strandberg* Singularity announced, full specs + $1250 price tag

    Thanks. Very happy to be full-time with .strandberg*. It's a great thing to work at something you have a passion for. The MIC Singularity has solid basswood body so it's not chambered like the MIK OS. Also, the OS has swamp ash along with flame maple which adds a lot to the cost. As for...

    .strandberg* Singularity announced, full specs + $1250 price tag

    Yes, I believe there will be an 8-string Singularity further down the line but not imminently. The other one we are working on now is the True Temperament version. There will be a version in plain red (not the swirl) with the straight frets as well. Some of you may have seen an 8-string...

    Thanks. Yes, it'll be difficult but we believe it's for the best and we also firmly believe that we can pull it off and have fun in the process.

    NGD: Strandberg Boden OS 7 (updated w/ improved pics!)

    We will look at many different options and consider all the possibilities but we do have to stay focused as well and do one thing at a time exactly right before moving onto the development and production of new models. The electric guitar as a platform is so modular that the permutation...

    Thank you! Even after nearly 25 years in the guitar industry, I feel that I'm still always learning new things and I sincerely appreciate the feedback.

    NGD: Strandberg Boden OS 7 (updated w/ improved pics!)

    Hey, so great to hear that you're loving your new Boden OS 7. I know that's how I felt when I first got to try 'em and then got a Boden 8 last year when I've never owned a 7 or 8-string guitar in my life. I'd like to tell you guys how I got to know about .strandberg* and I hooked up with Ola...

    Strandberg Boden in Japan!

    This is the very first shipment of the Boden OS guitars to the US and I have seen various little issues which we are addressing with the factory. Being that these guitars have a thin satin finish, there are little flaws (especially with the CNC cuts on the routs) like chips, dips, dents, etc...

    Strandberg Boden in Japan!

    It's my pleasure to answer questions and provide useful info that can be helpful. It is a different kind of guitar and there was some learning curve for me as well when changing strings and doing the setup work. I broke a good number of strings and struggled with getting things just the way I...

    Strandberg Boden in Japan!

    I want to add that, for those of you who haven't owned or played a Strandberg before, the tuner may feel stiffer than you may have imagined. I certainly thought so when I first got mine. It can hurt the fingertips somewhat if you spend a lot of time tuning as I do. I normally use a 6mm Allen...

    Strandberg Boden in Japan!

    Hey Shane, glad to know that the guitar arrived safe and sound and that your intial impression of it is positive. We're putting a lot of effort into the QC and setup work here in CA but please do check the neck bow setting again as it may have moved a bit during transit and now that the guitar...
