So about the guitar...
IT'S INCREDIBLE! I have a final paper to write tonight (don't drop out of college to join the Army kids, going at it again while working full time sucks!) and I went to see TSO last night so no decent pictures yet, but expect a full NGD this weekend. I am completely and utterly blown away with the build quality and the feel and tone. The Endurneck is superb, I don't think I will ever enjoy my other guitars the same way again.

I missed delivery of my Boden and still have to pick the guitar up from Fed Ex. I don't have any time at all on my hands but I am hopefully picking it up later today...all I can think about is my lonely Boden

But honestly...they're all indexed. If you want to see beautiful strandbergs, just go to his gallery.

So i have seen this a couple of times by now and I am gonna ask,
has anyone else noticed that the new batch of washburn produced Boden 8s are missing the small brown stripe in between the two maple pieces ?
Does anyone know why they are doing this ?
I liked it a lot !

I would guess it's probably be it's cheaper and easier to do it without the rosewood stripe. Also, since there are a bunch of them being stained, it may not be noticeably enough to be worth the trouble.

You seem to be right, but as inconsequential as it sounds, if I thought I was getting a rosewood stripe and no stripe came, I'd be a little disappointed. If you compare the original promotional material from s7 bodens, http://strandbergguitars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Boden8.jpg, and Astrals new catalog http://strandbergguitars.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/AES_Strandberg_Catalog_2014.pdf, you'll notice that both boden 8s pictured have stripes, but in the description, stripes are only included on the older model.

I am having one on order right now...
I hardly found pictures of the Washburn produced Boden 8s and as I heard they needed some time to establish the quality Ola wanted, so this might be the first batch.
It does make me a little sad that they had to change that though.
sometimes its the little things...

The 2013 Boden 8 mentions a center stripe, so they much have decide against it during the year. I didn't have an order with them, so I don't know, but maybe they sent an email to the 2013 orders saying it would no longer have the stripe?
Yeah, the first batch have just started to ship, I believe. Solid guitars. I played the Boden 8 they had at Messe, so I'll be ordering a Washberg sometime, hopefully soon, to join my Made to Measure.

The pictures are misleading, as they re-used the same body pic for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 catalog.
As pointed out, the 2013 catalog clearly states the stripe while the 2014 catalog doesn't.
I've a 2013 Boden8 on order, so it should have the stripe, but - come to think of it - the photo of an example body Paul sent me did not have that stripe, so I can only wonder.
OTOH, I care more about when I'll finally get the guitar (date after date lapsed) and how the stain I chose will turn out...
