If you can try them both, if you have to buy blind mayones 100%.
Way more consistent QCwise and more likely to be a good fit.
Strandbergs are very peculiar and you might not like it for sure even if you get a flawless one, but then again from all accounts if it clicks with you it clicks really hard
Man i should really disable notifications for this thread.
Every time a new comment pops up i get a mail with the name of the thread, and while glancing at the phone i always think it's a mail from aristides telling me that the guitar is ready (which won't realistically be until late march at...
I think i legit like the raw finish the more then the normal ones.
I'm a monochromatic/satin-y guy anyway and i have borderline OCD in regard to scratches, dings etc. so this checks most of my boxes.
TBH don't think the gloss neck is as big a deal as some think, I have a JPXI that has a glossy neck but it honestly never felt sticky even after full gigs.
What i really found disappointing about the new majesty line was all the marketing hype they put behind the Tiger Eye only for it to turn...

Regarding true temperament i get the idea of having a better intonated fretboard and it's great.
But wouldn't it be an absolute nightmare when changing tuning/string gauge?
Ordered a 070R myself last week and i'm excited as hell.
I ended up choosing the moderns in the end, after subjecting myself and my bandmates to various blind test.
Both the classic and the moderns sounded really good to our ears so the (admittedly silly) main reason i went with the moderns was...
Come on! It's 2019 and the internet it's kind of a thing right now.
You can't expect something like this not to come out, especially since the main audience of this kind of guitars is fans of a semi niche genre that has is roots on the internet and in this very forum
I really don't get the body shape.
I see the word ergonomic used a lot when talking about tosin's design but i find really hard to wrap my head around that huge upper shoulder.
I fail to see how that helps playability.
Probably a stupid question but i literally know nothing about wiring.
Is it possible to wire a classic set so that voice 2 is with the knob pushed in?
If i go with classics the hot rod voice would probably be the one i end up using the most, and i'd prefer to have it so i can't accidentally...
Yeah, i'm mainly after humbucker tones.
Single coils are something that is nice to have and that i usually find a way to use IF i have it, but not something i go after directly.
That said doesn't the latest revision of the classic set also have a single coil voice 3?
As much as i like Tosin's playing i have never really been a fan of his tone.
Way too hi-fi for me; i'm a sucker for clarity under gain but he almost sounds like playing through a clean channel even with heavily distorted tones if that makes sense.
Not really my cup of tea.
What would you guys put on a 7 string aristides? I'm planning a build for early 2019 and i'm pretty thorn between Modern or Classic set.
My main band at the moment is a slightly proggy, slightly metalcore-ish band, but i home record quite a bit on my own so versatility is a big selling point...
