Haha, nor am I. I'm not an Ibanez premium OR iron label guy either. Prestige or J-Customs for me which is why I'm not enthused by the Strandberg GC announcement.
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here. As far as I know, there was the inception of Strandberg & the M2M guitars then S7 in. When Strandberg came to the US the price perhaps did go down but only compared to the M2M. Was the quality the same between a M2M and S7? When they moved from S7...
Eh, it's neither good nor bad for current Strandberg owners. If you own a Strandberg now and love it, the fact that guitar center sells them should not make you love it any less. Admittedly I was a bit bummed when I saw the announcement but I bet they'll only be sold at select stores. Never the...
I have been super interested in the J-series as well. Perhaps it's naive of me to think this but I feel like the J-series would have better QC than Washburn or S7. I have wanted to check out the Js but good luck on that in the US. I think they will keep the line going to serve the the higher end...
I'm not trying to turn this into a WG thread, so this will be my last comment in this subject. The WG E-Mail is selling slots for the run. I figure they didn't get the amount of deposits for the run from the FB group, hence the E-Mail. They went with the Varberg based on early votes assuming...
Just got an E-Mail from WG about the Strandberg custom run. I guess all those folks who voted on the specs did pay a deposit... I would of paid my deposit if it had been a Boden shape with an 8 string option.
I hit him up on FB. The crack goes from the input jack to the cavity, down one side of the cavity, then all the way up to the upper left horn. Not worth $2500 imo.
I have no doubts that they will have quality tops for this run as it's coming from the Swedish shop. It's not Washburn or Korea building these guitars. I'm not doing the run so, whatever.
Yup, and there it is! I saw the add on the music gear exchange before I dropped the note over here. We're in contact via FB but I'm keeping my options open for the time being and still wanting to see what else is out there.
I saw some comments saying that people may sell a guitar to do the WG run. I'm looking for a Boden 8 non OS. If someone has something to unload, hit me up. S7, Washburn, or Swede shop is cool.
Facebook update from Strandberg guitar works today "The coming of the new year also brings with it some news: we are happy to announce that we are now operating in North America as Strandberg Guitars USA, Inc. This will allow us to streamline operations and serve you better. We have many more...
I just bought a Strandberg CL7 on the used market made in the Washburn custom shop. This may be selfish but now I'm feeling a even better about the purchase. I imagine there was not a ton of CL7's made and sold. I wish we could get a count on how many were produced, not including the OS line.
Just wanted some input from people who recently got their Vaders. I placed my order on 4/6/15. The build time was 6 - 8 weeks when I placed my order. They did say they would send an E-Mail with the estimated completion date. With in a few days I'll be at the 7 week mark and I have yet to get the...
Chambered swamp ash body, Burled maple top with deep triple stained translucent moss green top back & sides, 5 piece walnut mahogany neck, tung oil finish on the neck, jumbo SS frets, rosewood knobs, gold Kiesel drop shadow logo. Playing to win!!!!
Excellent move by Strandberg! I've been reading and heartbroken about the poor quality tops and finishes applied to them. I personally own a S7 Boden 7 with a walnut top and love it. I always thought they should of never went to flame maple as the only option. What I like best about the walnut...
