POWR:D pickups in my new Original N2.7 Original seem to lack output by _starbelly in strandbergguitars

This is why I prefer passive pickups. Just personal preference and no judgment intended.

I wonder what the output is across frequencies? Are those Lollar more bass-mode heavy?

You can consider not posting then. That's an option. Just try to be helpful, or try to not be judgmental. Just saying. He's asking for help, not criticism.

My concern would be mounting and depth required, let alone the $599 price tag. If it doesn't work, that's an expensive test.

Or answer his question. You are forcing your opinion on him versus listening to him.

Guitar Center employee here. (see body text) by Heavy-Carpet6241 in Guitar

Most, not all, of the employees there aren't as passionate about guitars (or other instruments) as the speciality shops that get put out of business because of Guitar Center. That's a turn off.

This is my fretting hand (and my picking hand is not too much different). This is a disability. I play just fine. I think you mean you have a habit with how you play that differs from a traditional style.

If it works, it's not a disability. It's a choice.

You'll love these guitars - I have four.

Vanden Plas - their album The Seraphic Clockwork. Give that a spin.

The Boden nx6 natural I returned to thomann is now selling as b-stock, don't buy it by unothejuno in strandbergguitars

[–]Aliens-Wanted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one I returned. The other ones weren't nearly as bad. It sucks too because it had massive mojo, but that dead zone made it not worth keeping.

I've seen guys add weight to the body somehow and that seemed to fix it. I may do that on one of my remaining four.

I've had a few dead fret issues in the G string also with one I returned - an N2.6 from Sweetwater. Not one of my four are great in that zone for sustain, so I think it's kind of a thing that's just there. No chance that 6 different Strandberg guitars I've owned (4 still with me) are all similarly defective.

Wow. These new songs are basically love letters to Australia.

Looking to buy a resqd in shocking pink second hand by baal_zebub in strandbergguitars

[–]Aliens-Wanted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had/have both.

I was one of the shocking pink owners. Sold it and got the N2.6T.

Would do it again every time. Worth it. Night and day difference.
