Singularity Mk II

Is he just holding two of the same model, or is there a difference between those two?

And any word on the 8 string version? He had the blue swirl 8 a few months ago, so I was kind of hoping for an 8.

Singularity Mk II

This looks a helluva lot better than the previous one. The clear pickguard and rear routing make a big difference visually.

I've already got bad GAS for a tele and a strandberg separately and this is not helping.

Not looking like an 8 string Singularity this year, unfortunately. Those seem to be two identical guitars.

There is one 8 string singularity in the video, it looks like the 7 string version but with fanned frets and blue/black swirl painting. It also has the clear pickguard.

Sig for Leda from Baby Metal. I think it's a Boden J so will be the first such signature.

Huh, cool! I saw that in another picture but it just looked black to me and I figured it was just the Classic 8.

Do the Salens have an arm contour like the Bodens?

Nope, just like a real Tele.

That does not make any sense to me. Keeping almost all Strandberg-typical ergonomic features like a headless design, EndurNeck, fanned frets but ommitting the arm contour to give the feel/looks of the Tele?

Ditching the tele bridge and saddles, not caring enough to give it more authentic tele tone, but keeping the most annoying feature of a tele? Eek.

The most annoying part of a Tele is the stupid 3 saddle bridge.

That's like saying the most annoying part is the twang.

 

[Hollowway]

The most annoying part of a tele is that it's a tele. Fight me.

And, did I see somewhere that there is going to be a 7 string Varberg variant? Or have I been getting too close to the model glue again?

 

[Avedas]

Teles sound ok I guess, but I can't handle the baseball bat neck, toothpick sized frets, and Fender's basketball radius fretboards.

Varberg 7s already exist in the wild. There's a bunch of them in Japan already.

Oh wow, I had no idea. WTH? You’d think with the ridiculous number of hours I spend searching guitars online this sort of thing wouldn’t slip past me.

Everyone knows the tele tone lives in the bit that isn't an arm contour

Check out Digimart. Bunch of cool ones there.

Miyaji Gakki carries most of the Varbergs. I got my Prog from them and they're great. Dunno if they ship internationally though.
