Strandberg / Astral EXR Systems / Announcement!

[technomancer]

So what is the ETA on these Washbergs, in terms of being able to order one, and how long they're supposed to take to build? And does anyone know if there will be stock models we can just order off the website?

You can order now, I believe at some point it was posted that build time is supposed to be 4 months, but I could be mistaken on that.

From the shots that have been going up on facebook these look really sweet

Man, every time I see that Masvidalien I want it. I'm tempted to get a Boden, but I'm gonna hold out for a Varberg 8 (that is basically the exact same specs as that Masvidalien. That's just tooooo perfect!).

I wish I knew someone rich who bought one so I could see if the Strandberg style would work for me. I'm worried about working my ass off to save money for one of his production models only to find out I hate the thing. First world problems, I guess.

Dude, same boat as you. I truly want a Boden 7 but totally don't want to get the endurneck and hate it ... I wish it had an option for that =/

A couple of pages back someone said they tried Chris' after a show. StS are Houston based, right?

i dont think you HAVE to get the endurneck. i believe the C shape is an option as well. I am going to put a deposit down on a CL7 this week. im not sure if i want to get it as a Natural finish or with the BLUE. im torn

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

Blue. Get all of the blue.

 

[AscendingMatt]

[leonardo7]

First Washberg!

 

[jephjacques]

Wait, where are the knotholes? Washburn ....ed up already!

 

[guy in latvia]

The moment I saw that post on FB this morning, I almost cried of joy. I can't wait for mine to be done!

After the whole S7/Ola hate and those videos, honestly, I was worried, but I'm sure these will be ridiculous!

 

[Adrian-XI]

I've watched that CL7 video so many times now, want one so bad! Wish I could change my order...

 

[Bigfan]

I really wish I'd ordered one now, and not with S7. Those CL7s look unbelievable!

 

[DakiEnt]

Regarding the EndurNeck, I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone. I found it really comfortable, I love how it gives your thumb a flat surface to "bite" on.

While comfort may be subjective, I would also say as crazy as it looks, it doesn't feel THAT different than a "normal" neck.

Check STRANDBERG'S Facebook. Lundgren M9s people......(regular and slanted) are in!

 

[guy in latvia]

[geofreesun]

so what happened to "flame maple neck" on boden 7's?

 

[ramses]

I really wish I'd ordered one now, and not with S7. Those CL7s look unbelievable!

Had I known back in December that a deal with Washburn was coming, I would not have paid a deposit with the previous manufacturer, and I would be playing a Boden 7 by Washburn instead of still being empty handed. Gladly Ola Strandberg is working on a solution.

 

[Valennic]

Just gotta hold out a bit until Ola gives them the go ahead to do more strings on the Varberg. I'll wait a while.

A long while.
