Strictly 7 will still be making them I believe. He said they're not stopping any current plans. So this will be in conjunction if I'm not mistaken. He did confirm that Washburn will be producing these new ones, so I'm absolutely stoked. That's my favorite guitar brand by far.
This has me confused. How can strictly 7 still be making them if Washburn are too? Do you mean strictly 7 will just produce the ones they are at the moment, and Washburn will cover all the other new models?
so instead of letting people buy into strandberg, he starts a joint venture...i am def confused by all of this![]()
Am I blind? It looks like the Masvidalien can only hold 3 springs. That's not a HUGE deal for me, but it seems strange. I'm used to dropping a 4th spring in my trem systems since I like a good amount of string tension.

Why? It makes perfect sense. Starting up larger scale production isn't all that simple; this way he can let others with production experience take care of the larger market, and keep on making his own ones for more select customers, while still get time for doing more development.
can i just say that i actually have a S7 built Boden 8, and all this crap about peoples opinions on S7 and the involvement they have with the strandberg production series is shit and based (albeit most not all) on hearsay and internet chat. unless you have had a boden from S7 you cannot comment.
in my opinion.
im stoked for this, i personally take a view that this will not be the only thing coming from them and this new venture. specially with mike fortin involved. i see a new line of guitars and amps coming.
I love that if you pay via PayPal or with a credit card, they expect you to pay the fees...?THAT seems uber professional, especially since this is not "Strandberg" acting as a small builder, but supposed to be that of a "joint venture/small company" here. Last time I checked, most businesses roll the transactional fee when they RECEIVE money into what's known as "cost of doing business" ... just sayin'...

More power to them if that's how they wish to roll, it just really means if you're not paying them via bank wire, the price on the Boden 7 is not $2750, it's actually $2832.50, or for the Boden 8 it's not $2850, it's $2935.If they're doing stuff like charging you to pay with a CC/PayPal, does that mean shipping is not included in price listed either?
Seems a little strange to me personally to run your business that way, but whatever.
I hope this goes better than the S7-produced Boden stuff did, that's for sure. It would be cool to see production Strandbergs out there free of defects so the lower price/minimal wait actually makes sense if you want one and you're not buying one built by Ola himself.![]()
