Went old school on a Strandy....

[yellowv]

and some of you will probably hate it. Good old 85/SA/SA set Steinberger style. Perfect for those Reb Beach, Lukather tones.

This is classy AF congrats OP

How do the EMG's sound in the Strandy?

 

[yellowv]

They sound just as you would expect them to.

 

[Matt08642]

Love it. EMGs in this style of guitar still look futuristic and cool to me, plus I love the EMG sound so it's a double win

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

Nice, that’s a great idea. I bet it’s fun to play.

The first thing that should be done to a Strandberg.

 

[Ben Pinkus]

aesthetically that looks amazing!

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Giving me total Reb Beach vibes. Looks great dude.

I’m old enough that I still think of EMGs as cutting edge

You said ‘Old School’ and I was expecting a mint pickguard and three low output alnico single coils

 

[JimF]

That's so nice - everytime I look I see something new! The edges of the burst, the figuring on the fretboard, the tidy inlays... Lovely!
How does that bridge work then? Is it on bearings rather than posts?

Who wouldn't love that? Great guitar, great pickup set.

The trem sits on posts. It sits over the posts it's a cool design. They work great. Nearly as stable as a Floyd. Not quite the pull-up range, but they also flutter great.

Yeah, that's pretty much EXACTLY what I was expecting

 

[TheShreddinHand]

@yellowv did you have to do any routing to fit the EMGs?

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

looks nice!
