Love strandbergs. Their guitars cost about an arm and leg but if you can pull the trigger and get one they really are great Axes. Doesn’t feel like any other guitar.

[@marylewis73]

Congratulations on your new studio launch. The hard work has reaped great results.

[@flowryan5829]

I would watch a 10 hour version of you saying the word „Sassafras“ over and over again in that perfect white, mid aged, suburban soccer mom voice. It‘s so unbelievably on point.

[@kainagami]

I still find it weird how no one except for Music Man is using push-push pots... They're so much more faster and easier to engage even with sweaty hands since there's nothing to pull

[@straightedgeecw]

They're also more susceptible to breaking relative to push pulls, or so I've heard.

I generally don't like headless guitars, but damn, that guitar is sweet. I'd like that one me thinks.

[@kevinwhite6176]

you know how there are those guitars where the frets are squiggles? do they make fanned fret squiggle fret guitars? because a fanned fret squiggle fret guitar with slanted pickups would really be great for people who are allergic to right angles and straight lines.

[@Shlurrrppp]

they actually do make guitars with squiggly frets lol

Aren't those called True Temperament Frets or something? Lol.

[@alexdennison3136]

These guitars are phenomenal. Just got my first nx 7 2 weeks ago and I haven't put it down. So comfortable and plays like butter. It renders all my other guitars useless and now they all need replaced with more standbergs...

[@TommyGunzzz]

Awesome review. My question is how is this different than the Boden metal with seven strings that also has fishman?

[@bestboy897]

jeezuz thatt song is killer

[@fercontreras8]

How hard are the tuners to turn? I have a Boden OS, and the tuners are so hard that I need an allen key wrench to turn them. I added their teflon washers, and it helped a bit, but still way too hard

[@giorgitsintsadze9919]

Hi Trey, what tuning are you using in this video ?

[@SteinG]

damn bro that intro was cleeeeaaaaaan!

[@xx2]

Hii brother first of all amazing playing ♥. Might I Ask You? I wanna buy this one only a Charcoal Blue one NX. Shiiit that sounds soo massive and great. I was just reading some stuff about neck diving? Like because the body is chambered, the neck is going down? So dunno. I can't try it personally. But I love everything about that guitar. Specs, look. Could someone elaborate for me? For example regarding quality build, it's still made in Indonesia so.... About your own experiences with this particular model. Thank You

[@toneseeker6627]

At first I was excited because that top is beautiful. Then you find out its veneer. Then you find out its not roasted maple neck or fretboard anymore. Then you find out they changed the body wood. Improvements? An arm contour, which granted it needed, and improved pots. Oh and a new gig bag. Price? $100 more. Now, I’ve read their reasoning for making these changes, and if they want to make them, I think that’s fine. But if you are going to purposefully downgrade the components, then the price should reflect that. This is the opposite.

[@bmhyakiri]

Yeesh and the fact that their guitars are $2-3k and made in Indonesia... Something isn't right when you can spend $2k on a made in America PRS instead.

[@toneseeker6627]

I haven’t double checked, but I believe Core series and up are the USA made PRS and they start about 4K, almost twice as much. This is more inline price wise with the Japanese made E2 series. To be honest, if Strandberg had dropped a real QM top at that price point, I probably would have bought one, even if it was Indonesian made. The Strandbergs I’ve seen have been pretty decent quality. I’m willing to pay for American made to support jobs here, and for the quality, but it’s not a must. I don’t like that they are increasing the cost while decreasing the quality of their materials.

[@bmhyakiri]

@@toneseeker6627 the CE models are $2k and made in the US, I personally have the dustie waring model and that one is $2600ish. I've seen a lot of posts and videos of the strandbergs having poor QC, which is a shame because they're cool guitars.

[@shaysawyer9451]

What kind of desk are you using?

[@redacted2564]

awesome vid THANKS. I was wondering what you think this scale length might be able to drop tune ? I read its low side is 26.25. without going to a super thick string what would be a guess can it do DROP G or G# ???

[@flowryan5829]

The string set that comes with it is the NYXL095-64 set. That set is balanced out for Standard B tuning. So the low string is already not too thin to begin with. For Drop A you‘d probably get away with a .70 gauge string on the low a. For G you‘d already need a .80 gauge string according to the string tension calculator. So, that‘d be a pretty thicc boy. Just go completely nuts and get the NX8. That should do you the biggest favor.

[@CorpseChords]

@@flowryan5829 Wtf? your using a .70 for drop a? I use .72 for Drop F Same scale length.. You can get a way with soo much less on Drop A than a .70..

[@flowryan5829]

@@CorpseChords Yeah but then you‘ll be playing in flopp city. I like it when the guitar remains a certain amount of tension. If I take lighter gauges, I‘d have to face things like pitch drift, fret buzz and pushing chords out of tune. And I‘m not talking loads of tension. Just the usual 9-46 -in-E-Standard-feeling. Nothing too fancy. Right now I‘m playing an Ormsby Goliath 6 String in Drop B with 12-62 Mammoth Ernie Balls. Perfection.

Has the pick-up been grounded already? I remember some of the previous models you will need to do it yourself.

[@Double_0_7_Strings]

I’ve moved away from Strandberg for a while, but boy is this pulling me back. Also, nice Scorched Earth Policy solo! Gotta say, though, I don’t like that they got rid of the 5 way pickup switch on the Originals. I do not enjoy 3 ways and push pulls. When I play clean I wanna be John Mayer and only play in positions 2 and 4 haha.

Yeah that would be bloody awesome. I have an Ormsby Goliath 6 String with 25.5‘‘-27.5‘‘. The 7 string version goes from 25.5‘‘-27.8‘‘ and the 8 string version goes even up to 28.3‘‘. The Multiscale by Ormsby is insanely good for downtuning. I play my six strings usually in Drop B and that scale length allows stupidly thin string gauges for that tuning. It‘s just a dream to play.

[@niko9338]

great review! the neck heel still is a deal breaker to me, it's still too big

[@JuanEsquivel-ex8nv]

I don't like the lack of roasted maple, I understand it reduces waste but it was a major selling point for strandberg.

[@karabinerstudios]

In one of Ola Strandberg’s videos on the new NX lines, he mentions that they were having a lot of issues with the roasted maple getting brittle in the warehouse and causing a lot of quality issues.

[@armyofchris]

Roughly how much does a guitar like that weigh? I have a disability and weight is one of the most important factors for me.

[@JuanEsquivel-ex8nv]

Strandbergs (atleast 6 strings) weight about 5 pounds at most. They're very light

[@Guitarest17]

I have one of them and they are very light. Being chambered and headless makes it lighter than some of the lightest regular guitars. My 7 is definitely the lightest guitar in my collection.

[@nj1255]

Isn't Sassafras endangered and red listed because they've been harvesting them to the brink of extinction to produce MDMA? I guess it's a good thing that they use the wood for something good, but if it's really endangered I don't see why they choose this particular wood.

[@dustinwheeler4265]

Not sure if it’s endangered or not, but Ola did comment that only the first run of NX guitars will have sassafras bodies. The official Strandberg page says that it’s due to it not being consistently obtainable for production. Once the first run is done they’ll be switching back to swamp ash

Looks like they changed the nice pearl pick up guard to a solid white... oh and for 600 dollars more.. on what looks to be the original Malta blue that I had my eye on. /: hope these things play really well cause they are arm and leg guitars coming out the gate now at 2k. I still want to play and hopefully own one , one day.

[@o.phillips2522]

Why on Earth they decided to move away from roasted maple necks is beyond me.

[@BossDrSample]

They make the necks and fingerboards out of a synthetic material that is much more sustainable than wood

[@flowryan5829]

Because they had some problems with the roasted maple becoming brittle over time.

[@redacted2564]

[@Beyond-Antares]

Just because it's made in Indonesia doesn't mean it should be cheap, the features are excellent, stainless steel frets (that are levelled and dressed extremely well) high end fishman pickups, the endurneck profile and excellent tuning stability, plus strandberg has very good QC, that's what you're paying for
