#strandberg #guitarreview #review
Check the description box to pick up one of these BEAUTIFUL Strandberg! Thank you all so much!
Welcome back! I hope you found exactly the information you needed to buy (or not buy) one of the beautiful machines. 7 months later I can honestly say that I've played it EVERY DAY! let me know how you like them below and follow on insatgram and tiktok for more!! @JimmyRFranklin
i just got a hard tail version and holy cow, haven't been able to put the guitar down!!! Its basically fixed my bad fretting hand habits and aided in the vast amount of progress i've made in terms of speed. the only real learning curve is getting used to the fanned frets but that goes away after 10-20 minutes of play time. I highly suggest these guitars for everyone (they do sell refurbished/b-stock models every so often for a lower price)!!!!!
I "need" a few more to add to the collection now!!!!!! :)
@@isaiahgendron2332 DUDE!! ITS SO TRUE!.. I feel like I've fixed bad fretting hand habits and its now translated to my other guitars! its such an amazing model... the fanned frets does totally disappear in a matter of minutes! i started by not even looking at the neck haha! thank you!
@@jimmyfranklin i only really noticed myself messing up legato at first, so its definitely not as bad as people make it out to be! im gonna have to get my hands on some of the strandberg pickups though, mine came with the suhr set, which is absolutely fantastic! i def agree on the active pickups, but im also not a chugger haha.
hope youre still doing well and cheers from colorado!
@@isaiahgendron2332 yes sir!! the strandberg pickups are getting better and better! thanks man!!
Snapped up this exact model today and it's phenomenal. Trem is buttery, I fell in love with the Endurneck instantly (no messing with it for 15 minutes or an hour - I'm talking instantly), and it sounds great! Absolutely beautiful guitar.
yes!! congratulations! what kind of music you play??
@@jimmyfranklin Thanks! I'm a big prog metal guy so this guitar is incredibly well suited for that!
@@benharbak SO WELL SUITED FOR THAT! thanks man!!
It's funny, I expected to have to get used to the endurneck when I ordered my Boden. But I barely even noticed it. Best guitar I've ever owned.
@@bonusflaps1749 I picked up a Metal 7 not long after! I'm a convert, hahaha!
Got my Boden Standard 6 earlier this week and I'm very impressed. One thing that's a very pleasant surprise is how precise the eintonation is. Tune the guitar and the E, A, and D chords are in tune at position 1 and at the twelfth fret. I've never had a guitar that did this before.
yes! they are insanely precise... part of that is the bridge design and the amount of options you have to adjust it!
Mine is on the way bruv. I'm soooooo stoked.
did you get it yet???
pickups suck huh
Are the G strings more stable on these headless guitars as opposed to traditional guitars?
I love the multiscale on a six string guitar 24.75 to 25.5.
It feels easier to pull the treble strings and a little bit tighter on the bass side. It makes a lot more sense to me.
Nice review by the way. Thanks.
i totally agree on the playing aspect! i was saying that i wasn't sure how much it mattered for string tension and intonation... but surprisingly it matters a lot ive found out!
I'm wondering if you ever tried those Strandberg clones with Endureneck and fanned fret. I have one and made a review (not as good as your reviews of course) ua-cam.com/video/4awOCTamDLg/v-deo.html but I've never played a real Strandberg, so I have no idea how close or far they are.
I would love to hear you opinion if you ever come across one.
Thanks for your reply by the way and keep up the good work.
@@MariaBethaniaCabrera ive never tried one with the fake Endurneck! only the NK fanned fret WITHOUT the endurneck... that guitar was SUPER cool! i just checked out your video! thats awesome!!
@@jimmyfranklin Thanks
Very nice vid man. Which is better in your honest opinion? The Strandberg Standard 6 or the Ibanez AZ? Or even better if you would do a video comparison on those two. Definitely subscribed. Cheers.
WOAH!!! you read my mind... im working on that video right now! lol coming very soon!
I KNOW YOU SAW IT BUT HERE IS THE LINK TO THAT VIDEO! ua-cam.com/video/0bjPY_fybEs/v-deo.html
@@jimmyfranklin yess i have! loved the strandberg knockoff video as well :) keep in touch!
Your playing is awesome!!!
Thank you so much!!! 🤘🏽 You play???
@@jimmyfranklin Yeah, I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years! This video makes me want a strandberg, but it's pretty expensive loool
I'm also in to light guitars man coz of my shoulder proble. Thanks for this. Im just curious how is it compared to the weight of the boden classic? I saw some video they say its a little heavy? Got any idea?
I have a boden classic 7.. this is probably 20% lighter! which is a lot when they are already so light
Just got the Boden 8 from SweetWater yesterday I didn't even take it out the box yet :) But I am going to in a few mins LOL
WHAT!!! is it out yet?? which model?? standard? classic??
Are u selling it yet
I have this exact guitar for the last year and a half and my others have taken a backseat since. Light, resonant, powerful, and uh Light!
is it light???
@@jimmyfranklin yup! Lol
i have a question, is the neck really that dark in person or is it because of the lighting? i really like dark roasted maple necks so i’m considering getting it!
the neck IS TOTALLY this dark in person. its beautiful! it may even be darker in person! haha!
Awesome guitar. Re: does multiscale matter on a 6 string, Ola suggests in his Sweetwater interview that it makes bending a little easier on the higher frets.
ive noticed ALOT of positive aspecrts of having multiscale guitars...none of which were the intention...but the strings each have proper tention for their own gauge so i believe bending would be easier... the floating bridge could also have something to do with it!
I've been considering buying one for like a year now but there's one thing that puzzles me.
I have quite small hands as Im only 1,67m tall and I don't have any local store that has Strandbergs.
Since the neck is pretty unique, I've my doubts if the neck actually feel thicker because of the whole "enduroneck" thing.
Any thoughts?
yes! they designed the neck with that in mind! they made it still "fill the hand" very well... the point was to make it feel bigger in the places where it is supposed to feel bigger... I think you will be surprised! where are you from??
Hi there, about the multi-scale on a six, i think it's more for us who tend to drop tune. On a good multi-scale you can drop and have regular string gauge, on all of my standard scale guitars i use hybrid set to have the right tension on the dropped string.
Don't know if it makes more sense, but i think that's where it comes in handy.
Great vid btw, subbed ofc
hey! that is a great piece of info! its funny that you mentioned that!.. I have a new video coming out about 7 strings and I drop tuned my e to d and my b to a and I was shocked at how the tension stayed so perfect! I had no idea that would be the case! thank you so much for the sub!
what multi scale guitars do you have??
@@jimmyfranklin no problem chief, I don't have any multiscaled guitars but I'm saving up for a Strandberg HSH (waiting for their new HSX concept with Michael Frank) takes a long time tho as I have two little kids 😂
Hahahaha oh my gosh, the thumbnail song. I'm dying.
im gonna bring it back! lol
I found the trem bumps my rigjt hand picking . I can use the boden prog comfortably. There is a bump with the trem bridge that you wont get with fixed bridge. When i play it keeps getting agitated. Such a shame.
My Boden Prog 7 is the best thing to happen this year, got it a month or so ago
Now I want a fixed bridge 6 string Boden standard too haha
Cheers and more power
Justin from the Philippines
HEY JUSTIN FROM THE PHILIPPINES! prog 7 is sick right?!?! you have the fish mans in it?? I got the 6 because it was kind of more practical but I have a classic 7 that I play every day!
@@jimmyfranklin I'm grabbing the black standard 6 hopefully late 2021. Just so I can be involved in other projects beyond metal (from time to time I am getting invites from other musicians in our area. I don't want to take those for granted; might have a breakthrough moment 😁)
Your channel deserves more subscribers
Do you have any examples of what makes the 2020 supreme over the 2019. I'm trying to decide if I should go new or used but you got me all freaked out that 2019 is trash or...lackluster compared to 2020.
I am literally working on this video right now to talk about the differences and im not entirely sure if they are all the same but I have a 2019 and 2020 and there are some extreme differences! what model are you looking at??
@@jimmyfranklin damn good timing. Looking forward to checking it out when it's done. You're def one of the best reviewers out there for these guitars. Much appreciated for great stuff you upload. I'm looking at the boden prog 6. I would consider neck-thru but I feel at that price range it should probably be something I should play before buy so bolt-on it is. Now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to shell out the extra cash for new or get a 2019 a few hundred cheaper. I just didn't to skimp out after watching your demo/impression of your standard and how it rules compared to your classic 7 I believe. Maybe the Boden model was good in 2019...hard to know.
what color finish is that? it looks too dark to be the teal?
this is the "flame blue"... im gonna put a link to it in the description right now!
I am still waiting for a Boden with sustainer! Then, I would immediately buy one. Sustainer is the only way to play less louder and despite it keep the whole continually overdrive that a rock guitarist needs!
FYI, the title of this video says Classic instead of Standard. Might want to fix that.
fixed thank you!
I have a 7 and 8 boden standard and I'm actually thinking of trading my lepage az for this but is trem worth it?
bro... the term is totally worth it... smooth and noiseless
Did you do it? Ive been wanting an AZ/thbb10/slm10 for like a year now and they are still backordered.
@@Surrey_01 I ended up trading the SLM10 for a Strandberg before OP replied, didn't regret the decision at all, its my main axe now. I had a 6,7, and 8 string boden for a hot second but definitely recommend this guitar over the SLM10
Man... I’m so torn between getting this or the standard 7. I love Floyds but I feel like the multiscale would just be too great on a 7 string.
So first thing... this ISNT a Floyd. But it is a locking system. But not the way we are used to. Second of all, I have a classic seven, have you seen the review of that in here??
@@jimmyfranklin I have n I’m still not entirely sure 🤔 leaning slightly more towards the 7
@@101shred i get that!! I ONLY have the 6 cuz i need it to teach or else id have ALL strandberg 7s lol!!
Any update on the video comparing 2019 vs 2020?
I have been trying to get my hands on the same model from 2019 to compare but its looking more and more like it will have to be my Classic verses my Standard... what do you think?? that fair?
@@jimmyfranklin Sure. Whatever works best. I love Strandbergs 😹
Since you teach, I was wondering if you had any tips on how to find and choose a good guitar teacher.
oh... I may have to do a video about this... well what are your goals?? Fame? Rockstardom?? Attract a mate??
I'm actually looking for a teacher for my 15yo son who has shown promise. He has been playing for 3 years and is self taught. I feel he could benefit from some instruction. His goals for now is just to be the best he can and play at church and starting a church band. I think this would be a great topic for a video. I've watched hundreds of hours of videos on guitar but have never seen a video on this topic. Thanks for the reply.
@@BigChuck525 I am 100 percent going to do a video talking about this! my opinion would be to try a few and get a feel for the local teachers and explain what the goals are to the teacher! if they resonate with your sons goals then it should be a good fit. a big name like school of rock would always be good but its really about the quality of the relationship and the communication between the teacher and the student! try a few because a good teacher is worth looking around for!
@@jimmyfranklin
Thanks again for the reply. I'm looking forward to your video
That's one gorgeous guitar.
Thanks man!! I play it EVERY DAY! Literally!
@@jimmyfranklin That's what I'd do if I had one.
@@humanbeing2420 should go for it!!
@@jimmyfranklin I bought two guitars in the last month, so I need to hang tight for a bit....But a Strandberg could be what I need - I get back pain when I play standing up for any length of time.
@@humanbeing2420 i had alot of hand pain and shoulder pain! on this I can play 10 gauge strings again!
Anyone here know if you can put a headstock tuner on these guitars?
good question..yes you can! I do all the time
@@jimmyfranklin Thanks!
I’m very interested in these guitars. Subscribed BTW.
Thank you for the Sub!! what kind of guitars are you playing??
@@jimmyfranklin Currently I play a Fender John Mayer Signature Stratocaster and a Brad Paisley Telecaster. I'm looking for a good guitar to do '80s covers.
@@wolfnstrings Oh yea?!?! where you from?? did you buy one yet??
@@jimmyfranklin Not yet. Still looking at all options. Located in Bethlehem Pa
@@wolfnstrings Nice! What others are you looking at??
thanks but how does it sound?
check out the channel and some of my newer videos!
I want to buy a Boden true temperament 8. Do you think the guitar worth the 3.4 usd??
UGH!!! I want the true temperament so bad but im not sure about the price point... and you can't get one used any cheaper.. my advice would be to try a cheaper true temperament to find out if you like it first... have you looked at other ones??
@@jimmyfranklin i just pull the trigger in a purple true temperament 8, found the best deal for a new one in 3.0 shipping included, LOL and if I could not make it work I think that you can have it for a better price ;)
@@bokercontinuo TRUE TEMPERMENT 8?!?!? id love to! let me know!!
I think the best use for the Indonesian Strandbergs is as project guitars. I think the OEM electronics are good but unremarkable. I think they beg to have Dimarzios in them. Strandbergs remind me more of Ibanez than ESP. Growing up those two brands as a kid were insane and a big theme in the Ibanez is their relationship with Dimarzio. Whereas ESP has more of a portfolio with Seymour Duncan, ESP and now Fishman. If I get an HSH Strandberg the Utopia pickups would be dope. Where as the HSS Strandbergs are begging for some Rails, Area or Injector pickups with something fun like a 36th Anniversary in the bridge if you want HSS with no hum and better than vintage sounds, improved upon.
I just bought the NX6 HSS in Natural finish. Waiting for a tech to get back in touch as I've already got what I want to be an intensely versatile guitar. But I plan on heavily customising mine in a bunch of ways from the electronics to hopefully one day some laser artwork. But the only piece of electrics that's stock still is the tone pot.... But my project is particularly mad.
I've found the lumin inlays are very hard to charge. I've got a PRS SE I had luminlays put on it and it was amazing playing in a pit orchestra. But I struggle to charge these...
I want to try one of these, I'm just nervous about the frets.
about the fanned frets?? honestly strandbergs fanned frets are not very harsh... its subtle compared to other brands. i was super concerned about this at first and i realized that the less i thought about it the easier it was!
Don't be. I picked a strandy up for the first time and could practically close my eyes and go for it with only minor over/under reach for that first couple minutes. It's already very subtle and getting properly used to is not at all a problem.
The frets are not an issue. If anything it's the neck that people will either love or hate. I think they offer a certain time period when you can return with no questions.
@@johnnewton1830 This is the truth.. fanned frets feel natural pretty quick... the neck feels wrong at first though... but once you get it... you get it hahah!
Do you know how long the fretboard is
I don't... but its a multi scale. 25 inch on the high e side and 25.5 on the low E side
Strandbergs are so good
dude, i love mine!
12:45 That’s what she said. ☹️
HAHAHAH!!!
Omg thats Rokka’s guitar!!
We need a sound!
Is the trem drop only?
Oh. Like is it floating???
@@jimmyfranklin yeah, I was wondering if it's a floating so I can pull back for reverse dive bombs and flutters
It floats! You can flutter and pull!
these pickups are actuallt designed by suhr, but thtese are fantastic pickups
I think stanberg is sponsoring this video
You talk, you talk, you talk and you talk
You think you're witty but you're boring
15 minutes of listening to your stories will put you to sleep
One minute of listening to the instrument alone is definitely not enough
Me with my squier.....
Do you love your squier?? And do you have a dream guitar besides that??
@@jimmyfranklin yes and a strandberg plini... One day
@@BigBrandoGAMES AHHH YES!! youll get there! your playing is really good dude!
@@jimmyfranklin brooo thanks I really appreciate it!! :)
It is in the shape of the United States Map. LOL haha
Yikes. A guitar review where you don’t actually play the guitar and show the dynamics and pickup sounds is not really a review. If folks wanted to just read about the materials and hardware, they can do so by looking at the spec sheet and dealer photos.
Yea honestly. I don’t know what I was thinking. This was so long ago I forgot I didn’t play in it. I think I was planning on doing an exclusive tone video and never did. Cuz this is my only review like this.
nah bro. the pickups SUCK. they're so bassy they make everything i play through sound like an orange amp. its so frustrating since i paid 2k for the guitar.
Can I have that 😍 for Christmas gift..watching here in Philippines 🇵🇭
HAHA!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
