Strandberg 1 year later / / Was it a WASTE?

About a year ago, I picked up the Strandberg Metal NX 7. While Strandberg is renowned for their quality and playability, does it hold up a year later?

My Ibanez Universe from 1991 gets dings and dents super easily as well. The body material is basswood, which I noticed was softer than that of other guitars I'd had. If you see _my_ frets, they are also dented throughout the fretboard, and right from the early days. However, these are not stainless steel. I think your fret will be easily fixed with a little crowning.

While I do know it can be fixed, even if I need to take it in and have it fixed, my point was more that if I’m paying such money, I wouldn’t expect there to be fret issues 😅

[@Zareh_Abrahamian]

@@BlakeLW I understand! As in the case of my own Ibanez, it was the top of the line, next to the swirl model from 1991 and they use cheap basswood for these expensive guitars. I don't know why.

[@Upsetkiller456]

On the plus side, those things are probably super lightweight, I’m used to basses LOL.
Idk why I noticed this but is there a reason why you move your index up to the 3rd fret on the initial riff?

[@BlakeLW]

It really almost feels like I’m playing with a toy when I use other guitars for a while! I love it though. It’s very easy to just carry around.
It’s just a bad playing habit I have though. I mute a lot better if I do that with my first finger

When signature guitar Blake? You will make the best one just like you are

[@dingoguitar]

[@BlakeLW]
