Most welcome! Thanks for checking it out! That annoys me as well. You don’t get to hear how the actual guitar sounds when you turn all the distortion on. Most I saw at the time have so much gain on them that they are hard to listen to. Hope the video helped!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! It’s been a great instrument for me. Just took it on an international tour and it was amazing to travel with as well. The case kinda looks like a tennis racket case, so you might be able to get away with it! 🤣🤣

Thanks for checking the video out! Hope it helped!

I’m not quite sure what you mean by that. I’m fairly tall and am still fairly young. It’s a good instrument for many body sizes and any age. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

It’s a joke for funny people only

I disagree that they are garbage, or at least speaking from my guitar’s perspective. I think they are a little on the pricy side, but it’s also hardware that isn’t as regularly accessible and more complex construction methods. The electronics are very good, just not the sound I was after. The endurneck once you get used to it really will help your technique. I still prefer the feel of my normal neck guitars, however it isn’t uncomfortable after sitting with it for a while. My main complaint with my instrument was the sharp edges on the string locks at the nut and the right arm location. The only other thing that really bugs me is the zero fret ping that continually comes back on the higher strings regardless of sanding and doing what Strandberg says to fix it. I’ve rigorously road tested it and recently took it on an international tour and it did fantastically. It’s not a “perfect” instrument by any means, however I completely trust it to be there for me when I need it.

@@JoshParker-Music Garbage was a bad choice of words. The pot are cheap, the output jack is beyond silly, but the pickups are not 'bad' just not for me. The sharp edges all over the nut & locker, the bad edge ending of the neck, bridge saddles that are sharp and stick, the zero fret thing you mention that combines with that to make it ALWAYS a cent or two different after every note...lol. Smack it around and it comes back nicely though. Then tuners that stick and are way inaccurate and hard to turn because of that (check out good ones by NOVA, through 'ploutone'), the wavy back of the neck and fingerboard edge...not finish sanded. The body finish that gets instantly messed if you touch it...almost 'polishing' everywhere you do. Sloppy, bad construction, bad quality control. I LOVE the richlite fingerboard and TT fanned frets. It is nice and light, but the resonance is silly for any 'volume' or 'gain' playing. Makes excellent sustain for desktop playing, but an ES-335 is 'tighter'. The thumb access on top is silly...why? geez! Bulky neck joint too. Then there is the Endure neck. I give. I assume it works for some. A short test was obviously not enough. And then WAY OVERPRICED...even if none of the above issues existed. I could afford it just for chording work with the TT's...most people cannot toss money away like that.

Thanks for the kind words and for checking the videos out. I think the balance from the stock pickups comes from how compressed they are. It’s hard to gauge after all the processing from UA-cam and recording. It’s very noticeable when you are there with the guitar. A side note, I finally found the right height for the Seth Lovers and they sound fantastic. The stock pickups were just way too bright for what I was personally looking for. They are great pickups for rock and fusion though. Tone is very subjective between everyone’s ears though. I used the same amp sim on HX Native between those two video, so hopefully it was a faithful representation of the differences between them. More lessons coming soon, just crazy busy times right now and no time to record/edit things.

I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. I don’t know what you mean by lack of quality of wood. The wood on mine is great all around. I can’t say anything about any other models since mine is the only one I’ve played.

Glad I was able to be of help! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! That is awesome to hear, I’m sure you will love the instrument once you get used to it. It feels a little different than a normal guitar, but it feels so natural to me now. The stock pickups sound really good, they just weren’t the sound I was looking for. I think they will be great for whatever you want to play. Main reason I went with the 3 way is the Seth Lovers are not splittable, they are oldschool single braided wire. The other reasons are I kept knocking the pickup selector down from 5th position to 4th position unintentionally. I also have a Strat that can do all the single coil stuff if I need it. Maybe one day I’ll get the single coil Strandberg as well 😆. I’m glad I could be of help for you! Thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. Have a good one!

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, you can sit with it in the classical position without a strap. The cable does not dig into my leg that way, it loops over the top. It does pose a couple issues for my own style though. In that position, the neck angle is too extreme, and it pushes the whole guitar too far left so I feel like I have to lean my whole body over to it. That makes it very uncomfortable for my body. For me, the most comfortable I am with any instrument is when I can bring the instrument to me and have it square with my body. I don’t like when I have to go to the instrument, it adds extra strain and tension that doesn’t need to be there. Strandberg has made it very comfortable in that way with the lower leg cutout.

@@JoshParker-Music alright, thanks man, i guess i gotta try it myself to know for shure then, already ordered it. I really hope it works for me cuz the design is just astonishing Keep jazzin!

Just upgraded my whole recording/studio setup, so I’m glad it transfers well! Thanks for the kind words!

@@JoshParker-Music thank you!!

I actually liked the stock bridge pickup. It almost put me in the realm of a beefy tele pickup. The neck pickup however, I felt was way too bright and compressed for what I was looking for.

Thanks for the info! All I can really say is that the intonation is definitely different between the fanned frets and straight frets. It’s not the my other guitars are bad, they are also fantastic instruments, but the strandberg across the entire fretboard is more even and in tune. I really enjoy the fanned frets and the tension balance the compound scale lengths give you.

@JoshParker-Music It makes the bigger strings tighter which keeps them more stable, but of course, that makes them harder to bend But you said you didn't ben very much. It's definitely interesting.

@@JoshParker-Music Not to beat this intonation topic to death but if your other guitars use a "nut" only instead of fret 0, there IS a slight possibility that the placement of the nut is wrong and if it is even a micrometer off, that will throw the scale off and your low notes and highest notes will be out of tune with respect to the open strings. So, that could be a problem with some guitars. Using a fret 0 is the best solution (imo) as it can be accurately placed just like all the other frets. All my guitars use some kind of nut only so I have personally experienced the problem of not being able to intonate completely due to the nut being either too close to fret 1 or too far from fret 1. Keep rockin!!!!!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m glad you’re here as well! Thanks for checking it out. Hope my content can be of help for you!

It is an Eastman Ar580ce. It’s a fantastic instrument!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@peteroaasd Sure, that's why he had to change the pickups and put 11's on it just to try and make it sound less thin and weak. You know anyone else who plays with 11's just because their electric guitar sounds so thin and tinny with normal strings on it? It's the worst guitar for jazz played with a clean signal on the entire market, which is a difficult task to accomplish considering how simple electric guitars are and how they should effectively all sound the same if you use the same strings and pick-ups.

Thank you for the kind words and for checking out the video! I did end up modifying mine, I posted an update video about the pickups and electronics swap. I just thought the stock stuff was too bright and compressed. The other modifications I did was to move the strap button down between the neck screws. This allowed the guitar to sit better for me and be more straight with my body which is way more comfortable for me. Then lastly, I actually rounded off a couple of the sharp spots I mentioned in the video and it’s a lot more comfortable overall. Still love the guitar and think Strandberg are definitely on to something with them!

Thanks for checking out the video! I can agree with you. I usually don’t prefer 24 frets because of the pickup placement. On the strandberg there is a definite high frequency that is not present in any of my other guitars and I believe it’s the placement of those pickups. I usually prefer 22 fret necks, or on archtops have gotten accustomed to 20 frets. I wish they would make a 22 fret version and also a 7 string version!

Thanks for checking out the video! I love both the Seth Lovers and and the capacitor choice. I have other guitars with .022 caps and they stay really bright until you turn the knob all the way down and it’s instantly underwater. The .047 cap seems to have a more usable range, especially in a jazz context. I usually keep the tone knob down to around 4-5 and it’s a good blend of dark, but not muddy. I I also usually run the volume back to about 7-8 which helps darken it a little bit and make it more dynamic without making the amp breakup. I highly recommend the combo for jazz. The pickups are definitely really sensitive with the height that you place them. They get really thin if you put them too low, but really full at the right height.

@@JoshParker-Music awesome, thanks for the response!

Thank you for the kind words and for checking out the video! I get so upset at guitar “review” videos because they are usually “here’s the guitar with a ton of distortion on it” and you can’t hear the actual guitar tone. Especially coming from a jazz background, I felt it was needed. The guitar itself is pretty sweet! It’s definitely got s vibe if it’s own. Have a good one!

I apologize, I do not know what this says. Hope I could help. Regardless, thanks for checking out the video! Have a great day!

@@JoshParker-Music Oh Sorry. It sounds great. Is it because the pitch is so good? "The harmonies of the chords are so beautiful!"

It's a wonderful sound when an advanced player plays it.　The pitch is accurate, and the cho tone is wonderful and beautiful.
