C'mon Ola. Bring the OS line to Europe. Ordering a Washberg here runs up in almost the same as a made to measure because of import fees, and the made to measure waiting list is insane.
This is really exciting stuff, and I'm really pleased for Ola that he's brought his brand this far.
After the release of the Vader I was hell bent on getting one, but now I'm not sure. I'm sure the craftsmanship of the Carvin will be a notch above, but the ergonomics of the Strandberg design are more appealing as well as the multi-scale. The Strandberg's being inspected and set up in the U.S. is certainly a good thing.
So, Boden OS or Vader?
All I know is that of all the "first world problems" many of us are fortunate enough to experience, this is a pretty good one to have.
Well this is certainty great news!!! Between the Vader coming out and these coming to the US, 2015 looks like it's off to a great start! Really want to see the pricing on these!
That almost seems too good to be true! If the 7 comes in around $1500 it'll be a no-brainer for me. I'm curious as to whether the color schemes will be the same as those available in Japan.
2015 the year of the headless! Seriously though, this completely overcomes my disappointment with only 27" Vader offering. Because of the uncertainty with specs involved with the Washburn boden I just couldn't get myself to order one. However I think there is a good chance an OS could be in my future! And perhaps a custom later down the road.
