I've owned a number, 7 this year alone, amd while I have never been floored by any of them...

What is the main complaint against them? I ask for a better frame of reference.

I think you just answered your own question. :lol:
You had 7 (!) of them that all were meh enough to warrant selling to someone else.

@TheInvisibleHand Some view Indonesian Strandbergs as overpriced for the build quality.

Mine were pristine, but judging from owner testimonials on SSO there seems to be variability in fret job and finish quality as well as complaints about their trem system.

Don’t shoot the messenger...

So uh.....

For me it’s Spartan time between 2-4PM today.

Do Gator GTRSTD6 guitar stands work well with the Abasi or the Strandberg body?

Anyone know if these Legion Laradas come with a case? I saw Ola's review and he said it came with it but the site doesn't mention a case at all.

I think the Facebook post announcing the legion models were available said they come with a case.

Did anyone who bought one get a email saying it shipped? I thought they were supposed to ship today but I never got an email.

I feel like I read somewhere that they come with a hard case!

Awesome, good to hear. Did yours arrive?

I got a shipping notification earlier today, should be here next week. Got the UPS email message a few hours later.

Nope it said by 9pm tonight, but still doesn’t say it’s been picked up by UPS so I’m not holding my breath. We shall see! I do live down the street from the Abasi office so it’s still possible!

This would be me (if I was you), at Abasi HQ 5 minutes after ordering.

Canada customs is holding my guitar while they try to decide if they believe me that it's a replacement and therefore I shouldn't have to pay import duties on it twice, hurrrrrrrrrrr

As if your situation wasn't frustrating enough already lol. Leave it to customs. Hopefully the replacement is worth the wait.

Looks like the guitar’s gonna take a couple more days to get here, UPS basically sent a delivery window notification once the label was created, but the package still hasn’t been picked up and ingested into the UPS system. I hope it gets picked up today or they let me come pick it up at the office, but I doubt they’ll let me do that.

Ended up cancelling my legion run. I am going to wait for a master or J 8.

Anyone know the next run? Have they hinted at it?

See the FAQ section of their website.

The following are estimates and are subject to change:

Master Series Larada 8: December

Larada Spartan 6: November

J Larada 7: November

Space T: November

Cancelled my 7 as well. Figured if I am already spending 2k on something like this, may as well save a bit more and buy the real deal with the features that make it worth it.
