Big strandberg development...

So I emailed AES today in regards to any future production models, mainly an ERG Varberg.

Response was basically "we're always working on new things, can't say exactly what"


Order a Boden 7 or wait for a possible Varberg...hmm...

I also contacted Paul at AES and he was VERY, and I mean, VERY quick to respond, which is a + in my book I'm gonna definitely hop on a Bodon 7. He also said that Washburn production has already started.

Yeah Paul is amazing, I hopped on a similar boat already

It's 5a instead of 1a now.

because it's a 4A or 5A top versus the 1A or 2A on the first one

Also, I asked AES about an budget/ off shore made strandberg and the answer I got was

"First things first "

So looks like itll prolly happen eventually but also prolly not soon

Sweet.
Personally, I'm happy that it's not gonna happen any time soon.
I just spent most of my money on a Mayones and if they release production models before the same time next year (or maybe even longer) i'll be victim to painful GAS that I will not be able to cure due to lack of funds!
... And I'm already desperate for that new Gibson Bill Kelliher Sig Explorer. First proper high spec axe with decent pickups that they've released in a while.


Aarrrgh! The pain. GAS is always worst after you have already spent you money because you know that no matter how strong it is you have no way the get what you want.

Im the exact opposite. As soon as a budget strandberg is available, ill be all over it. Id for sure even pre order one having that would for sure be enough to hold me over for my made to measure build spot

So stoked to see washburn looking after the production line!

Man wish they had a production boden 8 - alder body with figured maccasser ebony top (drools). One can only dream.

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

Budget strandberg would start a damn revolution. I really hope to see them as the norm in a few years.

For those who weren't familiar with Washburn's factory:

more photos from Ola's fb. looks like production models are in capable hands/under a capable roof for sure.

 

[Sepultorture]

i'm really interested to see what comes out of the signal processing side of things

 

[Guamskyy]

I emailed Paul on Sunday in the afternoon if they were going to make any Boden 8s left handed and he said "Not able to make lefties yet but hope to in the coming months. Can you hit us up again in a June/July?"

I can hear the wind blowing through an empty wallet and bank account come summertime...

Nah jk I'll probably wait till the same time next year to get one

If all goes according to plan, I should be in on a CL7 within the next few months. Need to let go of some unnecessary gear first before I make the deposit, shouldn't be too hard to afford the strandberg.

 

[Watty]

Deffo need some pictures of the new CL7.
