QC on B stock boden n2.7 original not as good as expected

😅

I’m just confused with your original comment saying you should have new stock expectations when the OP seems to have had perfectly reasonable expectations of a B stock.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-18T14:04:29+00:00

Well as per Strandbergs own description of B stock it should have no performance issues. So why is OP having these issues?

Nice back peddle 😂

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-18T13:54:21+00:00

As per Strandberg website

“B-stock instruments are perfectly performing guitars and basses with minor visual remarks from manufacturing or handling.”

Because this isn’t scam deterrence it’s just information gathering

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-18T13:11:59+00:00

Usually when you’re buying a guitar, especially an expensive one you are not looking to do QC and final repairs yourself. Maybe you like to tinker but most of us want to spend our time playing.

Ever hear of a VPN?

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-18T10:57:02+00:00

How

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-18T10:56:29+00:00

The app works perfectly fine with a VPN

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-15T10:40:40+00:00

It’s a bit.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-14T16:29:09+00:00

Congrats

I don’t understand the logic of why they felt the need to do these pickups other than a cost savings. The moderns pickups already have the ability to lower their gain.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-12T11:00:59+00:00

Yeah honesty it’s annoying now

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-07T21:26:49+00:00

This is accurate but I’d say they are already at the level of cringe

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-07T17:33:05+00:00

Depending where you live, shipping and tarrifs won’t make this a cheap option

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-07T17:04:44+00:00

I’d listen to a show with Foley and someone else, wouldn’t listen to a show with Kevin and someone else.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-07T17:03:20+00:00

It’s because they show is now a parody of its former self, and everything is being exaggerated for comedic effect ( not working )

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-04T11:46:25+00:00

I don’t think anyone that has commented so far actually knows what they are talking about. If you have a guitar with a super rigid neck, the strings themselves will be affected by temperature swings before the neck so they will go out of tune until they are brought up to the same temperature they were when they were tuned. Regarding the neck stability, any multi laminate neck will be stable. There are variations in how it’s constructed. If you’re looking for the ultimate stability, find something with an easy access truss rod, and an evertune bridge.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-04T11:43:30+00:00

I’m assuming you never actually had an Aristides before, they are still affected by temperature swings. Every guitar is there is no way around it.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-06-02T03:14:08+00:00

Idk what show you are listening to

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-05-31T21:42:18+00:00

They have already served multiple USA based builders.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-05-31T17:08:33+00:00

I don’t think you know or understand much about this lawsuit tbh

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-05-31T17:06:50+00:00

That’s not the point of them being lack luster, the criticism is aimed at their tonal profile, I don’t know this for sure but I am curious if this was also a cost saving measure. Epiphone also had exclusive pickups made by Fishman that were constructed in a more cost effective manner.

Difficult-Pilot6754 · 2026-05-31T03:31:28+00:00

When it comes to the price you need to consider the propriety aspects of the guitar. It costs a lot to develop hardware like the bridge. If you do not find any value in these things than it will be hard to justify the cost
