I sold mine less than a year owning. Poorest tuning stability on a trem, cheapest finish I've seen, at this price no roasted neck (?!), most flat stock pickups on the market. Most comfortable body though..

@@deejay7339 After having bougt one and having played it for a year, I sold my PRS and my Dick Dykman guitars, because I didn`t play them anymore. Its not perfect, but a great, easy to play, comfortably light and good sounding guitar (H-S-S). Btw. best tuning stability, I ever had. Better than PRS and Floyd Rose.

no you can not, if you could someone would have done it and dont say they have because every one of those guitars sounds laughable or worse, no one would ever ever record with something that sounds like that.

@@elevenAD I mean, Strandberg has a guitar that's basically the neck and the pickups. Look it up, it's called Boden Meloria

@@elevenAD "no one would ever ever record with something that sounds like that" you talk about what strandberg guitars ?

@@elevenAD Watch Jim Lill's video: 'Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In An Electric Guitar?'

@@elevenAD Hate to break it to you but the whole body and tone wood debate was debunked by a man on KZbin in 2017 if I remember correctly, he made a blind test that conclusively sounded exactly the same as a famous Strat model and he made that sound by tightening strings between two tables, aka literally air. He also made hundreds of tests to conclude that body absolutely has no influence on the matter. Pickups and speaker matter, the rest are variables that are not made by the wood or body but rather by tiny uncontrollable variables as not even two of the same guitar sound the same. Some manufacturers even came out and straight up said that any attachment of players to the wood or shape of guitars are purely sentimental and serve no other purpose beyond looks and feel. Lastly to add a personal anecdote, I've recorded countless metal tracks without people even noticing a single bit that it was recorded on a jazz guitar, so the guitar seems to have no influence on the sound. No hate though, just informing. I personally prefer old cool guitars though, I love the innovation of Strandberg but it looks so goofy to me sadly, but I still want one. xD EDIT: Found another video concluding that not even the pickups nor the amp matter, you can make anything sound like anything, the only genuine part that matters seems to be the mic recording the sound and the speaker inside the cab. When it comes to amp sims they are made to sound different to make you feel justified with your purchase to ease the buyer in their choice, but IRL it was concluded that even those factors don't matter. This was found by an audio engineer called Glenn Fricker on his SMG Studio channel I believe it's called, and if you want I can even add the other guy that did the table test if you are curious. Ok acoustic detail messanger out for now. xD

I just noticed! I grow food in that backyard and I'm constantly in the dirt!

Ehrm! I own several ESP J:s with outstanding quality. Still I prefer my Masvidalien Cosmo over any of them. The quality of my Cosmo is easily on par with all my ESP's. I have owned several Strandys including the Modern Guitarist limited run Boden and noone was poorly built. However I sold my PRS, Fender custom strat, Gibson Flying V x 2 to buy Strandys instead (kept my ESP's). Happy customer here.

congratulations on the Swiss team winning the Not-a-Boring-competition recently for making a 4 foot tunnel.
