Strandberg Guitars Model Rundown

Time to take a look at the full product line offered by Strandberg guitars! It's been a few years since I made my last product rundown and there's been many changes to the Strandberg line, definitely overdue for an updated video. I'll walk you through the similarities and differences within the Strandberg line and hopefully that will help clarify the model that might fit your needs best. Along the way I will share some of my opinions on the overall quality of the different models and if I think you should buy them new or shop on the used market too.

Good to see some more content from you!

Very true about the attack being different on the solid body vs chambered. I couldn't get into the various chambered body models, they just felt and sounded off.

The classic that Kmac had a few years ago., white on white one is still the classiest spec Strandberg iv’e seen since..

[LunatiqueRob]

At this point Strandberg should release an Essential model without the Endurneck so people who dislike the Endurneck and multiscale can still benefit from the ergonomic body shape.

[TommyGunzzz]

Hope you can get your hands on the new Essentials budget model. It is literally impossible to find a non-biased review of it. It is the best guitar ever made apparently according to like every review channel these days lol. Which is funny because the higher end models have reviews all over the spectrum

[TommyGunzzz]

I just don't know who buys a Strandberg for the straty sound like the Classic. Everything about these just screams metal or prog. For the same price you can buy a really nice strat.

strandberg pickups were designed by the suhr pickup guy before he died. They are supposed to be good

[BrunodeSouzaLino]

If Strandberg keeps racking up the prices, they're gonna lose market to Aristides very soon. Sure, Aristides guitars are more expensive but they are custom instruments made to your specs. And they can claim the sustainability flag since their guitars are not made of wood. The neck and body are a single piece of their proprietary composite material and Richlite fingerboards.
