Okay, so since is being asked so often again and again, here's the answer to how I mounted these pickups without the pickup rings: I drilled holes into the pickup cavity and simply screwed the pickups onto the wood. Underneath the pickups I put some foam that pushes it upwards. Since the screws are pushing them downwards you're able to adjust the height.
I'm sure I could find this information elsewhere, but what's the scale length? I assume 25.5" as these manufacturers usually just go with standard measurements to keep costs low.
Awesome man, thanks for the reply! This video is killer and your tones kick ass. I wanted to try one of these guys out because I've always wanted a headless guitar. I figured put some good pickups on it, some good strings a bit of elbow grease and this thing should be good to go.
@@h0nza_ You're going to end up investing into this piece of crap as much as a quality guitar costs. And overall this isn't a performance guitar - if you plan to take this up on stage or on your local band tour, let alone in a plane, you're gonna have a bad time setting it up. Bottom of the line is, if someone is serious about playing, he/she ain't going to buy these models because they know the price is too high. But if you're a bedroom guitarist that's just jamming and is not interested in making music, than this instrument is gold.
Apart from all the critic and finding flaws just because the word Chinese is between, this guitar sounds and looks AMAZING. Of course it`s nice to know that somewhere in the guitar there is some carbon fiber but for 300$ not 3000Euro and few days delivery not one year i believe is totally worth it.
bishopoftroy I'm seriously tempted as I need a small, portable guitar but be prepared to throw out the electrics and most likely adjust the truss rod and level the frets. Some stores will supply without the electrics etc for a reduced price.
On guitars with steinberger type tuners, teflon gun oil goes a long way towards improving tuning responsiveness IMHO. You can also disassemble the bridge and replace the pot metal washers with teflon. Very nice guitar and mad props on your chops. U got skillz!
I recently acquired a Cort licensed Steinberger, its a rare one. "Cort Space Stat" is their name as advertised in 1983. Its a headless Stratocaster in essence. Three single coil, five way switch and volume and tone, all look like and perform like a Fender. The model I got is a fixed bridge, with no tremolo. It uses the Steinberger-spec string, GHS string calls it double ball end strings. I was really impressed by the pickups, I had assumed that Cort made cheap PU's. Boy was I wrong. They are like overwound fat strat pickups. I will not be replacing them. The neck has aged well, straight as an arrow and the frets are in good shape. The body on the Cort is sort of like yours. It is my new favorite guitar. As an older player, with bursitis of the shoulders, I need a light weight guitar. Also, most guitars are neck-heavy. My Cort is perfectly balanced on its strap mounting points and my body does not hurt as much playing it..
Very helpful vid , most reviews were saying that thees guitars are basicly wall items but , seems like with some upgrades you got something descent, nice djent by the way.
Not bad for a copy, looks like you got lucky. They do seem very tempting to buy just to have at home and jam. I still think one of the cheapest and best headless guitars are the Steinberger Spirit GU Series.
I was really considering buying this! But then i saw where they placed the jack input 👀 I kinda wanna be able to play i classical position, i thought that was one benefit on the ergonomically shapes body
I put my tone knob at like 7 and my volume at 8 and tune my settings to that. Then when I need more tone or just a big boost I can easily just max out the tone and volume.
For those wondering about the guitar's bridge (how it restrings), essentially the bridge works very similarly to a tuning peg, turning the string, except vertically (the goldish disk shapes in the middle of the bridge)as opposed to sideways, the strings are mounted into these small as heck holes that may pose a problem, the disks are a bit cramped and therefore the holes are really small, possibly not fitting anything over a 10 or 11 set of strings without modification (widening it), after securing the string, you tighten the screw using the magnetically attached hex key head tuner thingy, all in all these guitars truly are of a good build quality and with some sanding of the back of the neck, a truss rod adjustment, maybe a bridge modification, maybe even crowing the fret ends (they aren't sharp though) and a pickup swap you'll have a damn good guitar
I guess the sound you get out of a guitar doesn’t matter about how expensive or cheap it is, but instead it relies on how good the guitarists playing is
not exclusively true. it just depends on the quality of the guitar. this looks and sounds good, and by his account it plays well too. for the same price you could get an Ibanez Gio, which does not particularly sound good and doesn’t usually feel much better. a good setup and quality pickups in any guitar will make it a good guitar. ultimately
As another owner of a grote headless guitar, I am pretty content with my guitar. In the original order it was supposed to be a satin finish (ended up being gloss which is fine). I tossed the shite pickups the moment I got them, plays quite well (I sanded the neck slightly to get a very buttery, smooth neck but it was already pretty good) Pretty trash past the 12th fret for me (have to level down the frets I'm wagering) and the action is fucking high (which bothers the hell outta me) Not gonna lie, I do enjoy tuning with the built in Allen key, I find that it's a tad bit more precise and "faster to tune"
I’m about to pick up a neck thru version of this in a few days, second hand. So far, looks (and sounds) like a steal with replaced Pups and some truss tweaking. Good stuff🤘
Thanks for the nice review. A few questions. Which vendor did you buy it from? Also, did you had any problems setting the intonation? I bought the same guitar but had to return it. The bridge position was about 1/8 inch too far from the neck -- which made it impossible to set the intonation. Thanks again!
nice review! I'm going to buy the same nut/bridge system, I'm wondering if the head-nut piece could be used to convert a standard neck but i can't find decent images/drawings of it; could you please reveal some more detail about it ?
Just a note: if you look on the side of the bridge facing you, you will notice a little key that is magnetically attached. It is for turning the tuning peg. Also, could you post a video on restraining, intonating, setting string height,etc.?
I found out about this tuning tool after filming this video, however it wasn't included... also couldn't find it anywhere in the package. I don't own the guitar anymore unfortunately!
woooow, what a tone dude!! That Strandberg copy looks pretty nice, personally for that price its extremly worth. Could you share some links or info to purchase it? (Yeah i know you said Ebay but this is 2019 XDDD). And just for curiosity, did you get that tone from the POD HD PRO?
mine arrived today, nice guitar for the money, needs some setup and some frets are too high, mby ill do refret.ill upload video mby on my channel about it.
yes, everything is fine except frets, they definitely need leveling, some of them are just bad, neck does not move at all for now, which is very surprising, even the pickups are not that bad, but im gonna change them anyways, btw I was waiting mine more than 40 days i think...
This actually seems like a really nice guitar. Whoever is making these must have the mindset of "This is a treat for my fellow shredders out there that cant drop 3k on a Strandburg" haha. Honestly im gonna probly buy one of these and hot rod it to my desires. Thanks for this video! Did it come with a case at all?
There is another chinese brand named NK guitat, they are maken headless guitar too, without patents violatons, are original good design. Those are around 500 usd, are not the best guitar of the world, however, those are a not bad option. There are reviews on youtube.
MILIAN! IF YOU STILL HAVE THIS! TRY SWITCHING OUT THE BRIDGE FOR A HIPSHOT HEADLESS. YOU CAN TURN THIS GUITAR INTO A MEDIUM VALUE HEADLESS WITH THIS EASY MOD!
Still need to find the right string gauge and setup for it. After first having Kaliums on it, I put Ernie Balls on it (worst strings I've had in my life) and next I will try how my trusted NYXL will do.
Soulhenge actually just found your written review on it. That is yours yah? Appreciate it man. Ive bern googling and googling and finding nothing. Made me nervous about my purchase but im feelin ok now!
I'm used to buying day, an ibanez RG7 or 8 and customizing it and doing fretwork. Do you think the quality is about the same? Wouldn't mind buying one just to gut and customize the hell out of.
for my emg pickups it is impossible to play clean without dialing the tone knob back. I'm constantly changing my tone level when I play live.. you must not play a very diverse set of genres.. I'm not gonna run to my amp or adjust my pedal board that often when I can just reach down with my pinky finger?
that's because EMG's overall suck for clean tones. It's a reason why everyone is distancing themselves from active pickups nowadays (not counting Fishmans, but those work a bit differently)
Dude, a tone control knob is very important. Because you can add an additional coil splitter push-pull =) PS The "classical position" in case of a real Strandberg is not blocked with an output jack. To think about this at a design stage costs $2k per a guitar )
Hey man! Great video this was really informative. I'm setting up a Grote a friend of mine who just purchased one and I had a few questions. I'm trying to adjust the truss rod and for some reason it will only move about 1/2 turn either way. As of now the action is far too high so I figured I would start with adjusting the truss rod. Also, I'm having a little trouble understanding how to re-string the guitar, as you know the ball end is at the front of the guitar rather than the bridge. Thanks in advance, great playing too!
Hi! Well, to be honest, this could be a faulty trussrod you got there... I mean it's a cheap chinese guitar, I would not be surprised by anything but it being actually good. I can't quite remember how to change the strings as I did it only once when I had it and that was many months ago!
did you ever figure this out joseph? I plan to order a guitar with the same bridge. Looks like you clip the ball off, and just put it in the bridge and wind it up but i havent found any videos of someone restringing with this bridge
zak hudson Hey man, yeah I was able to figure it out. Yep you've got it, winding it through is tricky definitely made sure you have an extra string or two just in case!
Joseph Badalamente why do you say that? Do you put it through the bridge then cut it right after? Also did you manage to snag a video of it? How was the guitar? I asked a few sellers, I play in drop b with a set of 12/60 and they all said I would be fine but I’m not so sure yet
Hey man, just wondering, how did you lower the action on yours? I recieved mine just today and it was almost perfect. I just wanted to know how you adjust the action.
Lowering the action is reeeeally weird, I don't even know how to explain it properly. Like the string is resting on that slot, and this slotpiece is attached to a "wheel". You turn that wheel and the position of the slot will change... Let me know if you got it.
You can get headless guitars at Bargain musicians.com. They sell "guitar kits" that you finish up yourself. Also, I believe the prices are even cheaper than that of the mentioned prices through eBay. Just helping out starving musicians out there!!! Guitar Kits start out around $150 U.S. dollars and go up a little from there.
Lol that's nice you get a nice sound from a pod thing :D I've used a skervesen, schecter, music man, Mexican fender, bc rich and an axe fx. I can never get a good sound lol :D looks cool, but I wouldn't buy it tho ;~; I didn't like the stranburg, I returned it after 2 days of having it. It cost me 2200 USD I wouldn't recommend buying it, for its price, just buy something else ;~;
nice, really , but could you please give us the string sizes? drop b and c# right? just trying to figure out how to stringup my pgm mikro ibanez just like that..metal travel poket..thanks
Looking on Eghey I saw several buy it now auctions that pictured the same picture at many different prices -it seemed like a coin toss on what you might get.
I love that guitar, would you recommend me to "upgrade" my Schechter Hellraiser C 1 FR with that Grote? The hellraiser has emg's 81-85 but if I bought the Grote I can easily replace the pickups with a better ones, but I need to sell my Schechter to do so... what dp you think it's better please help! And sorry for my fucked up english.
Okay, so since is being asked so often again and again, here's the answer to how I mounted these pickups without the pickup rings: I drilled holes into the pickup cavity and simply screwed the pickups onto the wood. Underneath the pickups I put some foam that pushes it upwards. Since the screws are pushing them downwards you're able to adjust the height.
I'm sure I could find this information elsewhere, but what's the scale length? I assume 25.5" as these manufacturers usually just go with standard measurements to keep costs low.
Yep 25,5"!
Awesome man, thanks for the reply! This video is killer and your tones kick ass. I wanted to try one of these guys out because I've always wanted a headless guitar. I figured put some good pickups on it, some good strings a bit of elbow grease and this thing should be good to go.
I could sound better even, I've used a really bad preset with way to much lowend, but yeah. Thanks a lot man :)
is spanish your first language?
Such amazing playing man. Great sound too. Impressive video all round.
Thank you!
Thanks for a smashing demo. Ive been drooling over this guitar on Ali Express for a while now and this demo didnt make it any better 😛
sound good? play good? who cares where it was built! cool video, thanks.
It's the truth.Why there are too many people just care about where they are made or how much about it?
@@zhengchen9422 same, mostly gibson cry babies
The wood is cheap, hardware is even worse and there's non existent custom service and quality control. I can go on.

Yes… It’s like they exactly missed the point of that ergonomic cut right there. It’s kind of silly.
New Neck through version of this guitar now on ebay.
Sounds great
nice chops amigo!
I'm looking at their LPs and man are they tempting.
I put my tone knob at like 7 and my volume at 8 and tune my settings to that. Then when I need more tone or just a big boost I can easily just max out the tone and volume.

Cashew Walnut you didn’t mention whether uses double ball and strings or regular strings.
@@Greenmantislives oop sorry, it uses regular strings, although I've had some trouble fitting thicker gauge strings like 12s and up (I believe) on it
Cashew Walnut, Thank you so much. Planning on putting nine’s on it so it should not be a problem.
As a Chinese,I have to say that I can't even find one in China.Sounds not that bad.Hmmmmmm............
Jun Chi 确实没发现有这类copy的琴，往往山寨的都很差了，这把确是很好！
That is most likely ordered from aliexpress.

as a danish person myself i went onto ebay and found soooooo many from 300 - 350 bucks

this music style sounds like dance gavin dance tbh. this is awesome

4 years ago this video planted the strandberg seed in my mind, now I have four of them.
basswood body.,maple,neck rosewood fretboard......and has veeery verryy nice sound,
Would be great to know how you made your patch in the pod for this demo, sounds really great
wow looks pretty sweet
for information, you also need tools to tune the original strandberg guitars, so do not make that a only china copy problem, thas a plus really :)
Not in the newer models. They adjusted the tension and you can easily turn it by hand. Even on my 8th string there's no uncomfortable tension.
I’m about to pick up a neck thru version of this in a few days, second hand. So far, looks (and sounds) like a steal with replaced Pups and some truss tweaking. Good stuff🤘
CannabisBlastBeat How does the neck thru version turn out?
i love the rhythm tone, what amp do you use??? or is it just a Pod pro preset??
nice soounding guitar tho :)

..ok i just had to say that ?:

Hey,super cool review ! by the way have you heard about a brand "Corona" they have some awesome looking guitars on ebay....headless multiscale ones...
Jan Laurenz: yeah I've heard of them and really would like to have one!
they look great...and seem quiet affordable...but of course you can never know in that price range and without get hands on one...
Can I have the tabs for the playing at the beginning?
Come to check more details of this headless guitar here: www.grandmusicals.com
I played a Grote in my local used shop the other day. For 265 I would def have ot just to have it lol
Anyway,the Ibanez PU really amazing.I have those PUs which makes me fell fxxking cool.

I've listened to a lot of Scale the Summit and seen them like 3 times and it sounds so much like a Strandberg for much less...
Can you show us how it plays in a classical position? Resting on the left thigh? Thanks

Well dang! Thats a long time! Did you get any sort of refund for the wait??
Can you tell me if the fretboard radius is actually 20"?
And how's the action like after refretting?

between this one and the eart headless guitar,which one would you say is better? thx in advance! great video!
Could you please sent your POD patches? :) Sounds really good! :)
great review, what ibanez pickups did you put in there, V8 & V7?
Correct!
Soulhenge, I like this lead patch a lot and I don’t think it’s uploaded to your line6 customtone page. Do you still have it?
I'm used to buying day, an ibanez RG7 or 8 and customizing it and doing fretwork. Do you think the quality is about the same? Wouldn't mind buying one just to gut and customize the hell out of.
Not sure, I think that Ibanez does a better job tho and has better woods.
Used Ibanez for 300$ vs fake strandberg.
What is better (sound, playability etc) ?
What song is that when you were playing the bridge pickup with gain
You should do a follow-up video on this
What effects did you use with your clean tone?
What pickups are you using for this guitar? I may have missed it
for my emg pickups it is impossible to play clean without dialing the tone knob back. I'm constantly changing my tone level when I play live.. you must not play a very diverse set of genres.. I'm not gonna run to my amp or adjust my pedal board that often when I can just reach down with my pinky finger?

PS The "classical position" in case of a real Strandberg is not blocked with an output jack. To think about this at a design stage costs $2k per a guitar )
How long did it take to ship if you don't mind me asking?
Nice amp. Tony iommi also used a laney amp, but he couldn’t remember the exact setting he used. Lol.
What are the exact measurements? I mean the exact scale length on the high e string right down to the bridge.
it is sold less than 200 us dollors in China

Would you genuinely recommend one? I've been looking for a while, and I have the money now, and I was gonna order one from aliexpress
Jkelly451: I wouldn't do it again. It was a fun experience but only recommendable if you're more easy on money.
Looking on Eghey I saw several buy it now auctions that pictured the same picture at many different prices -it seemed like a coin toss on what you might get.
What store or apps to buy ?
I love that guitar, would you recommend me to "upgrade" my Schechter Hellraiser C 1 FR with that Grote? The hellraiser has emg's 81-85 but if I bought the Grote I can easily replace the pickups with a better ones, but I need to sell my Schechter to do so... what dp you think it's better please help! And sorry for my fucked up english.
Fernando Salazar keep the schecter
Guys I can't really tune this guitar, there is a tutorial?
