That's a 540S isn't it? I'd say it's fitting as a period piece

... one has to pay for the hand carving, which looks nice by the way... and the aging on the edges...

$7,995.00 for a new MIJ Strandy from Sweetwater?
Strandberg Boden J Artisan 7 Electric Guitar Run #3 - Natsu Blue | Sweetwater
View attachment 136933
Isn't this a Sugi build -which kind of explains the pricing?

Yeah the writeup makes it sound like Sugi only did the finishing.
“Strandberg partners with Sugi Guitars when crafting each breathtaking Boden J Artisan’s finish.”

Have we yet reached the point where people are mindlessly airbrushing AI art onto guitars? I'm steeling myself for the day we have to count the fingers on gaudy guitar graphics.

Also, speaking of finishing, is this a finish bubble or just a light reflection? For 8 grand I'd like to make sure which.

Ok, I actually understand this one. It's for little kids. Like, in tennis there is a movement called "quick start" that makes the game easier so kids stick with it. Same principle.
Guitar and tennis are super frustrating in the beginning. The easier we make it to get some positive results, the higher the chance they'll keep playing.

When i pop the image into photoshop and boost the hell out of various adjustments, I dint get a hint of any surface articulation near that, so I'm leaning towards a light reflection, FWIW.
I remember one time, Kiesel posted a photo of a bright green metal flake sparkle guitar, and there was a bright red spot on it. There were a handful of folks livid about, "Oh my God how could you share a photo of a guitar with a damaged/chipped finish?!" It turned out to just be a reflection from a red illuminated exit sign.

I mean, it could be a three string djent stick. Start a thread asking what gauge strings for drop F.

Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
This makes it sound like Sugi doesn't build guitars for Strandberg, though maybe there are small batches not included with this general overview:
We also work very closely with Dyna Gakki on guitars produced for the Japanese market. Although the volume produced here is much smaller than at PT Cort, the price points are much higher, and the lineup also includes the J Custom for guitars built to custom specs. Besides our frequent visits to Japan for development and QC purposes, technical oversight is provided by Nick Sugimoto of Sugi Guitars, a legend in the guitar industry who has designed some iconic guitars for the likes of Steve Vai and George Benson in the past, just to name a few.

A few years ago I saw a band called "Fire Retarded" (from WI). Guitarist poured whiskey on it, lit his guitar on fire, then pissed on it to extinguish the flames. It was punk as fuck. And gross, I guess.
Alternatively: blast it with piss

... when in lack of talent to play the guitar, one has to be resourceful...?
