That thing looks dope. I can't wait to take mine out for a drive when Joe gets cases.

Looks better than the bodens. I like that the pickups are angled. The hardware issue doesn't sound like something that can't be fixed with a bit of filing or some plastics like suggested previously - I'm sure you'll figure something out. HNGD!

Looks great!! love that fretboard


would really be interested in getting a six if he does another run. I would have gotten in on this run for one but I didnt know he was open to doing 6's till I saw he was building one for someone else..I just should have asked I guess

Again awesome guitar looks like joe does great work!

As for the hardware, specifically the Strandberg bridge system, I can't say I'm too impressed. I have broken a total of 3 high e strings over the course of half an hour or so, and have learned that bends are practically a "use at your own discretion" kind of deal. This is because the strings are clamped at the top, but are super prone to breaking under pressure (moreso the high strings).

Hey everyone, the root cause for the issue with the strings breaking has been identified as a change in the brand of screw that fastens the string lock. Anyone that has this issue, please get in touch and we will send out a replacement. This will only affect strings < .012 or so.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Good to know! I assume I'll need these after I receive mine.

I was going to suggest sanding the bottom edges of the screws, but it looks like you won't have to

Cheers to all the great replies guys!

Messaged Ola back about the nut screws and great to say I will be getting replacements. It's awesome knowing that both Joe and Ola are stand-up guys who really take their business seriously!

Thanks again to Ola for fixing the issue.
