Says he's always late...never misses a beat
Fails to mention it was the beat from last nights show ;)
Plini made me get my Strandberg. And I will get another one soon. Once I was a headless guitar hater but this one changed my view. I saved for a Gibson LP and ebede up with Strandberg boden prog 6. Never regretted my choice.
How's the fretboard? Does it support super-low action? How's the pitch up and down the neck from position to position? :)
Why would you get two? Lmao try something else
@@stuartmoore3857 You have no idea about the phenomenon called GAS associated with Guitarist it seems. ROFL
@@naiyalexic Just play one. You will get addicted to the size and ease of play.
Really he really can't go wrong with a Gibson Les Paul any Gibson Les Paul standard all rock and roll music was made with Gibson's and vendors all so I will never deny a Gibson Les Paul never ever
I love how he stripped his feature set down to exactly what he needs, it's a true live gigging guitar.
All Plini's interviews are great!!!
Too bad is guitar is hideous
@@fendertremolo9793 I think it looks sexy
@@stuartmoore3857same
2:57 thats a good point ...salute
I own 35 various electric guitars. I've been playing a collecting for 45 years. I bought the Strandberg boden plini about a month ago. What a back saver. Nice guitar. Very good quality, lots of tone. No, it's not a Charvel or an ESP, but a very versatile machine. Nice work Plini.
I recently acquired a headless guitar having never before owned one...and I love it
Headless guitar: lightweight, super easy to travel with, ergonomic as all fuck so your back doesn’t get all fucked up. Super low action possible with tuners on body, dope.
I like me a les Paul, sure, but headless guitars just make playing so much easier. My back certainly appreciates it.
I see you wearing that TesseracT jacket ❤
I'm gonna try that tone knob trick
I got the (older) Paul Masvidal Signature, bought it used. Seems to be spec'ed very similarly to this one.
EDIT: Ok, Plini is talking about it ^^
Ola makes great guitars. It's that simple. I never played a more playable or comfortable instrument.
Hey,I want buy one but I don't feel very good by the endurneck. I love C shape but my actual guitar radius is 9.5 and I want something more shreddy. Do you think I gonna be okey ?
@@debussy1553 maybe EnduroNeck is not for you, but I had no trouble with it. I love the radius, the neck, the frets, the tuners, everything except the lack of large fret inlays. I cannot imagine somebody who can shred on a C neck not getting along with the EnduroNeck. If you are that worried you need to sit down with one in a shop. I found it surprisingly easy to adapt to. There was no real adaptation. That's how easy it was. I've never heard of anybody having difficulty with it that lasted more than a few minutes or an hour. It's too natural especially above the 12th fret. Good luck, maybe just test drive it for a while.
Mexican Zeppelin so you don't recommend me that all ?
Do you have any recommendations of shreddy guitars for me ?
@@debussy1553 I do not recommend guitars to anybody Ezekiel. Everybody is different. I love the guitar, but that's all I can talk about. For me it's playable and comfortable, the best instrument I have owned.
2:45 One year later those poor kids don’t have any forests 🌳 😢 😭 😞.
A stupid question maybe but how do you put it on a stand? Or even put it down anywhere other than the case?
They wont work on any kind of stand that hangs the guitar by the head stock (obviously). I have mine in stands by “on stage.” The base swivels so it is on a slight angle and the guitar is straight up.
Strandberg makes stands for just their guitars
@@chadbouterse8617 You can hang them on mandolin wall hangers. The string swing works perfectly.
Wrap the strap around one of neck cradles then put it in like normal.
👍
The question is : why Tosin, Misha, Intervals etc. don't play Strandberg anymore????
Do Strandberg guitars age well?
i bought one becos of them, now they stopped playing it and it bumps me out
@@hafizhaji8836 Is it a good guitar man?
I hesitate to buy one (Original 7)
Oilid its good, but not super duper good for the price.
You basically spend 2k just for the endurneck and the ergonomic/ultra light body which is amazing, dont get me wrong, but, it doesnt improve your playstyle like a mile away, just a tad bit. I can say i shred even slightly less sloppier than normal neck guitars.
Since i’m into headless, might consider a kiesel since u can custom shop it. What i’m hoping for in a strandberg are xtra jumbo frets, thinner neck profile and neck through. Hopefully for namm 2019.
Thank you very much for your detailed answer bro!
Don't hesitate to check my channel, it's a guitar nerd channel. ;)
I think they are great... I played mainly PRS USA models... I bought my first strandberg about 1.5 years ago because I was looking for something light and small to make traveling easier. I have sense bought a second strandberg and sold all but one of my PRS. Fit and finish are great. Super light, great sustain. You can play any style music on them (I play mostly classic rock). Not sure why they really push towards the nu wave/djent folks... probably due to the traditionalists being too obsessed with looks and not the usability... you wont regret buying one!
Is Plini really tall or are Strandberg guitars small? He makes them look tiny.
Irl, Plini is very tall. Almost 2 meters high!
he is about average height, but the guitar is small. strandbergs are barely bigger than the scale length, whereas gibson, fender, etc. guitars have a lot of extra wood sticking out past the ends of the strings.
What tuning is it?
I think he's usually a half step down.
... and dropped
Drop C# I think
Yeah he’s usually in drop c# which is just drop d but a half step down :)
normal guitar, (EADGBe), but Plini usually plays in drop C#
Funny.
Plini so handsome 🔥😂
Literally crushing on him rn lol
Why do people dis the guy with talent, when most other guys do this with a laptop and are called musicians?
I never like headless guitars . Love the shape. Just the head makes them look like a kid guitar. They should place a rotating head with the logo in carbon fiber just for the looks and to hold into a wall. And 1 cm bigger in the body.
the whole point of a headless guitar is to make it a better instrument by keeping the guitar in tune. It does this by basically having a locking nut, but with a zero fret instead of an actual slotted nut.
@@robadobflob3405 still having a fake head without strings looks much better. I will build one myself. Killer seller
@@pauloalexandre-dd4nl I disagree, but the headless guitar is *_definitely_* an acquired taste, so I get it. I used to think they were ugly as well, until I saw a strandberg. I think strandberg is one of the few companies that pulls it off. Also, if you like headstocks, do you like the Abasi guitar? Same deal but with a headstock.
@@robadobflob3405 dont get me wrong. Everything looks great. Just the head missing make it look terrible. I dont understand why not make a fake head that clips in or out. I guess they would sell more
@@pauloalexandre-dd4nl the main reason not to have a fake headstock is weight reduction; it's a main selling point of these kinds of guitars
Can I be the first to state that that guitar would look much better if it had a headstock?
Looks and playability are vastly different things... your eyes might not like it, but try one and you might be supprised how much your wrists, back, and ears love it
@@chadbouterse8617 does the headless design bring any benefit though?? I heard they help with the balance when strapped but that doesn't sound like it outweighs the aesthetics
Balance and weight.....
But you could also ask the inverse... what does a headstock do for you? If you have a locking nut, nothing :)
@@jaegye Tuning, tuning stability, and restringing are fucking ace. I only own one, but the utility of it is above and beyond conventional headstocks.
When I hear an expletive, I stop the video and then search for something else.
2:57 That didn't aged well
@Lincoln Onion I refered to the recent forest fires in Australia (He's australian)
I mean.... I do respect the opinions of a nybody to like those guitars.... But ... Man i think they are ugly as hell.
i agree
That's why there are some different options in the market. For me, they are the best design I've ever seen on a guitar. And the ergonomics of the guitar are fantastic.
Anything without a headstock is the devils work, to this day I have never forgiven Lou Reed for playing one-once!

You're super kewl bro.
Imagine liking Lou Reed lol
One of the ugliest guitars I've ever seen. I guess I'm more of a traditional shape and headstock guy..
you're ugly.
oOVanHalenOo Thankfully we’ve got options.
that guitar makes me want to puke. what a poor guitar, got his head chopped off.
That guitar is dumd
Nah, it's not a Gibson
