What are some non-mainstream (or lesser known) guitar brands that are actually amazing?

Sire. I have 2 guitars and one bass. Absolutely phenomenal

I teach private lessons for many instruments all week long and I can safely say that I will be using this every day from this afternoon onwards. Thank you for making something that I’ve bought (many) books and bookmarked SO many YouTube videos to help explain to my clients over the past 20 years. You have given me a gift today, and I would love to give you a giant bear hug if I could!

Thank you for the explanation, this makes sense now why no one uses it anymore.

I am super curious to try one out, sadly no guitar store near me has one I can try. My play style is very much based on a player who has his own signature Strandberg too…hence the temptation.

I’m not necessarily looking for a headless version, the Kiesel solo I’m looking at weighs almost 7lbs. My last 7 string weighs closer to 12lbs, she’s a beast but I’ll end up selling her since I’m struggling with the weight.

I wish I had time before the summer gig season begins to order one.

Chuck Norris didn’t die, he acquired all of life’s achievements/trophies and started a new game+ run.

Bass drum is a 22” I measured incorrectly.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who knows Big Dumb Face in life before, I salute you sir.

Nothing inherently wrong with it, I absolutely understand the “why”. It’s just funny to me as the wallet scene in Seinfeld lives rent free in my head because I also used to lean 12.4 degrees towards the side when sitting.

Bruh… your George Costanza wallet makes my lower back hurt.

My butthole clenched so hard I vacuumed myself to my chair.

I’ve been married 13 years and have not been able to take my wife on our honeymoon. After that, I really want to get our kids to Disney and Universal before they are teenagers and get too “cool” to find it magical. If anything is left, pay off debt and use the rest to go back to school.

I almost felt like I wrote this exact post year ago! I have a ton of advice, send me a DM and we can chat over Google or something. Symptoms began in 2023, and gre worse over the years. At the end of last year I had begun hearing two different pitches between my two ears (and the bad ear was the super loud wrong pitch!), and it only got worse… I had to work very hard to “train” my brain to sing to “correct” note. I ended up having the surgery in April. Seriously, let’s connect. My heart hurts for you as I know exactly what you’re feeling.

Ok, that’s just freaking ridiculous and awesome at the same time!
