saw it on instagram. A bit busy for me but definitely super cool
I like the knobs. ;)

But then again, I dislike the stock knobs in a way that I've never disliked knobs before. Not only are they not easy to grip, they're boring and give no indication of where they're set. No redeeming properties. :mad:

Does anyone remember or know the detail of a forumite here that found a small hex wheel you could use to tune the strandberg?

I remember seeing it in a NGD thread but now I can find it, any ideas!!

Well, I thought I really liked the way this looked until I saw the price tag. Eh.

i would do terrible things for a teal or seafoam green finish on an 8 string

I agree lol, the only decent option for something like that without being pricey is Kiesel. Too bad their customer service has gone to sh!t. Fortunately I got mine before any of the big issues started happening with their customer service.

is it only me or anyone else thinks they are outrageously priced ? :|||

I don't know man... On the one hand, they are the only ones offering this specific featureset. If you want it, i guess you got to pay for it.
On the other hand i find it hard to justify paying 2k€ for a WMI manufactured guitar. There are plenty European made guitars in that pricerange. If that says something about the quality is another story :scratch:
In the end, if you want that bodyshape or neck, you'll have to pay the prices...

I think the configurator is for their swedish custom shop/M2M ideas.

Hey man,

It's a 1/4 inch finger drive. I had a Craftsman version that I got for 5 bucks, but there's a bunch to choose from :yesway:

Fun but getting a similar build to the Skervesen I ordered would cost about 2000€ more. 50% depositt is also pretty high.

It's getting old mate, really.

Side note, wish they could allow the configurator to show the back as well!

Yea, definitely. There's lots that could be done to improve it, but it's pretty fun to play with currently -- here are my contributions:

I think the white/red one is what comes from playing too much Mirror's Edge.
Having ordered 2 M2Ms that have had black hardware, I've been pretty interested in the idea of some fancy anodization, so that's what I've been playing around with. The spalt and ash actually use pieces that are available now.
