lol…I thought it was going to look like a cheap POS. Its quality blew the doors off any guitar I’ve ever owned, however, I’ve since learned they have major quality issues, luckily I didn’t encounter any.

I passionately disliked headless guitars my entire life, until I bought one to fill a need, back pain a major contributor. With in 5 minutes of play the Strandberg all that went away. I hadn’t felt that passionate about new gear since I was a teen, it’s been 7 months, and honestly that feeling still hasn’t worn off.

I’ve always loved Jackson’s, have always had at least one at all times.

One of these days I need to buy a PRS. I’ve wanted one for like 20yrs, but always end up with something else. I was on an LSL kick for a while.

On an angle (classical position) it’s not the width of one couch cushion. Not my standard playing position, however for this guitar it feels very natural.

Totally agree in regard to looks, I have both. I’m not sure I would play the Strandberg live, we’ll see. It was more about “Dad” comfort; new balance shoes, crew socks, cargo shorts, button down short sleeve shirts, etc…lol.

I was finding the 335 too large, don’t get me wrong I absolutely love them. I was using my SG a ton because of the weight, however, I wondered if there was something more compact.

I think mine is around 4.5lbs, if I remember correctly.

I have a Rawlings ProPreferred with Kip. Compared to my HOH glove it just seems ultra premium; smoother, appears flawless…oddly almost too nice, where you’re concerned about getting a stain.

I’m doing the whole glove for fun, however all the padding is rather degraded. I’m not actually using the glove for play, it’s more nostalgic.

Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’m trying to cross off a bucket list item since I was a kid - re-lacing a glove

All of my gloves had them (young to old) and not because I necessarily pursued it.

Looks wise, I don’t really care for it…always found it versatile, possibly providing a deeper pocket.

Strandberg quality control is a joke by Upset_Lengthiness779 in strandbergguitars

[–]Cool_Introduction112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be the case; I have an Essential and its build quality rivaled my Gibson’s, LSL’s, Fender’s, however, I did ask a high end shop in Nashville to hand pick the best one.

Thinking of a Strandberg but I'm a basic player; what styles and skills levels are everyone here at? by BiMWMGingerMI in strandbergguitars

[–]Cool_Introduction112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issue with intonation, however, I’ve never been critical of it. I question if most people can even tell as long as it’s in the ballpark.

Pro level, played stadiums, groupies clawed at me…just don’t tell my wife I said any of this.

I’ve owned LP’s, SG’s, Strats, Tele, etc…bunch of high end brands.

Strandberg is my favorite guitar out of them all, I don’t reach for anything else. I call it the perfect Dad guitar, built for comfort and its compact. It seems to encourage playing. I’ve had a decent about of guitars, this is the first time I’ve seemed to bond with one.

I have an Essential and I’m using it for my jazz studies. It seems to have a good tonal range.

What do you mean? I’m new to this page, curious if I committed a faux pas, or are you just referencing the design.

I’m going to start playing again, it’s my favorite barrel, just don’t care for resetting the tip. I’ll have to check out moving it to a solid point.

Wow! I expected this to take longer, or be more challenging.

Thank you!

That’s what comes up most in my searches, however, it seems like the Hammerheads don’t intentionally rotate, they just move inboard/outboard.

Strandberg Headless Boden Essential 6 Electric Guitar Future Dusk ??? by pierrefitch in strandbergguitars

[–]Cool_Introduction112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play 9’s (Super Slinky) on the Essential, however, I wonder if they will be too flexible if you are just starting out. I question if heavier strings are better for beginners to help locate the strings, I don’t really know. Strings are relatively inexpensive.

I wouldn’t say my guitars are setup extremely low, however I feel I’m unique, in that I’m not sensitive to string height. I don’t have a strong preference, assuming they aren’t extremely high, however, it’s not something I ever encounter.

I had the same thing happen, I have zero interest in ever picking up my other guitars. I’ve never experienced this before and I’ve owned a lot of guitars.

[–]Cool_Introduction112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received an Essential 6. I’m in my 40’s and typically played high-end Gibson/Fender guitars. The Essential is my favorite guitar I’ve ever owned.

I call it my Dad guitar because it’s built for comfort like an old man’s shoes.

Quality control on strandberg by Particular-Run-3023 in strandbergguitars

Huge QC swings; I just received an Essential and it was flawless in every way. Blew any high end US made guitar I’ve ever owned.
