I love those colors, hopefully Strandberg releases more like this. I don't really like flame maple but these looks absolutely fantastic

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

I do like a good solid color as well. But if they did a teal green flame or curly maple top, I would be a sucker for it.

[@spongesurf]

What a gorgeous color. Enjoy!! I adore my two Strandbergs: A NX Fusion with buttery smooth Suhr pickups and a NX Metal 7 with amazing Fishmans. So many different sounds. In love with both.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Dude yes, Strandberg is so good right now :]

[@bartvansliedregt5482]

I loved that track you played! Such a unique sound

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Thank you much! I'm hoping to explore that little ditty a bit more because I also liked it. It's simple, but the low string adds a lot of depth. :] Thanks for the comment.

[@chrissasin]

Love it! What a cool series…might have rethink my next purchase 🤔

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Do iiiiiiit. These are sick

[@chrissasin]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs I just read they released a new model, the Boden essential...$999!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@chrissasin yeah! take the body and send it to the Guitar Paint Guys and have them refinish it in an orange sparkle to satiate your orange desires that you KNOW you have now. haha

[@ayoh4864]

Man, you deserve more subs. You're super cool and relaxed with a great sense of humor. Not like everyone else screaming in my face when I start the video lol

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

hahaha well thank you very much. I do pride myself on not screaming in people’s faces. 🫨

Came for the five way, stayed for the orange. 👏🦖

great editing nice lofi vibes

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

thank you! that tune will turn out to be very much NOT lofi eventually haha. But it’s a fun soft intro :)

[@richardjones2811]

Congratulations, she's a beauty.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Thank you much! Very much enjoying this spot of orange in the collection 🌟💥

[@antonsidelnikov]

Watching this video right after training in: Orange hoodie Orange watchband Orange sneakers drinking water from Orange sport bottle. VERY ORANGE! TM

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Honestly, the drip sounds like it’s on point. 👌🏼👌🏼 I’m going through an orange phase right now as well. But this is not the start of it, more like the peak of it. hahaha. I had already bought orange phone case, orange office chair, orange wallet, orange playing cards haha

[@antonsidelnikov]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs Nothing wrong with it. If it feels right for the moment go for it. But to think about - I have Hollister tshirt and shorts Orange set too. And winter jacket. Guess it's sunny and warm for me :)

[@justingrant1799]

This video just made me buy one. There’s one more left for anyone wanting one.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Yooooo haha. Love that for you. Gotta get ‘em while they’re hot!

[@jordanliubenov]

its weird how common the dent on the zero fret is, they even have a guide on their website about how to sand it down its so common, I had it on my strandberg as well, awesome vid by the way!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

I didnt know about that guide, I'm gonna go check that out. Thanks for the tip! I still haven't fixed this yet haha. Been busy playing it and not bending xD

[@Bendalf]

Yeah that's crazy, I own 3 Strandbergs and 2 of them came with dents on either the G, B or high E string. I hope they figure out the source of the issue and fix it for future productions.

[@ediththeband]

sounds incredible!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

thank you much! 🧡🍊

[@dropthesun]

Great review man! I really like your style making these videos. 👍🏻 You are right! The video doesn’t show how orange this thing is! 😂 I got the Chambered Swamp Ash 8-string version of this and it is 100% perfect. I really like the OEM pickups. They are in there to stay. Mine had that same odd black dirt on it as well. Cleaning gets it away luckily. Congrats for your new Headless!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Ayyy orange gang gang. Glad you like yours! It doesn’t have the dents in the zero fret? That’s great!

[@dropthesun]

No dents in the zero fret. I checked after watching your video. I think, that few strokes with 0000 Steel Wool on that zero fret should fix the problem. But I know, that it is little irritating, that you have to do it on a new guitar...@@Plant_Based_Riffs

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@dropthesun Yeah, I agree. BUT it’s not the worst problem to have. even a new fret wouldn’t be so bad if it’s done well. Fixable problems are just part of the deal sometimes.

[@dropthesun]

I agree! That is a minor issue and easily fixable.

[@dropthesun]

Update: Mine is actually 95% perfect. I noticed, that the painting on the body has minor uneven areas, that can be seen in a certain angle (glossy vs matte differences). Also the feel on that matte area is little rugged. Well, it is a ”B-stock body”, so something like this is to be expected. Not a dealbreaker for me. It is actually hard to notice, but it is there.

[@danifellh2817]

MAN!!! amazing!!!!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

It’s a fun ol machine. I’m gonna enjoy having a spot of orange in the rig 🍊 😁🧡

[@joabarzua312]

missed these and they sold out so sad 💔 color looks great

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

I’m sorry for that. More of them are on the way surely! And I’m sure they’ll bring back popular colors :)

[@Ameller48]

I bought a Strandberg Plini Edition 3 times with the problems with the freets, and that problem also comes with the tremolo. exactly where the rope rests, on the 3rd purchase I solved it with sandpaper and a little polishing cream to perfect exactly those parts, but my question is how long will this last? I don't know if it's the beginning of my love and hate for the freet zero

[@JungYT]

How would it get those defects in the 0fret unless it was used? Those are from wear right?

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@JungYT If the guitar suffers any kind of impact on the string, even while in the case, it can dent the fret.

[@stiman1]

No over tone - likely because it's headless? I was actually curious if you were going to end up getting the USA Aaron Marshall guitar(s). This this is amazing looking, I love the Very Orange(tm) in combination with the maple fretboard. So good!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Could be because of having no headstock, but I also have numerous guitars with headstocks that don’t have any crazy overtone on palm muted strings. I may get a USA AM model, but we’ll have to peep that price point. I reckon they’ll be $2800-3200, which is pretty pricey for a painted body, but the jury will be out until I have played one.

[@themearkat]

First? Also, love that orange.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

FIRST. Haha thanks man. It’s a whacky machine. Loving it so far

[@illiathiele3733]

How did you solve the dent-problem?

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

I haven’t actually solved it yet, but I can imagine that using some steel wool and some Care will take care of it. There is an article on the Strandberg website about how to take care of the same issue. As of right now, it hasn’t really bothered me.

[@reghunt2487]

strandberg - cat optimized

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

indeed! It's my main teaching guitar because of the perfect cat slot hahaha

[@pjcohen9240]

Is that first riff when u plug in an existing song??

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

It’s something I wrote for this film, but I’m going to flesh it out and make something sick out of it 🚑

[@pjcohen9240]

Good to hear, its beautiful!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@pjcohen9240 Thank you! Looking forward to getting something tracked for it! If you like that style, check out my originals on this channel! I hope you enjoy :)

[@WailingRaven]

Congrats on the new guitar, that Orange is really beautiful. Bummer that there's a slight flaw on your new purchase. As an owner of an Orange RG, I always be on the lookout for orange coloured guitars that I might buy in the future. Though, as much as I love orange coloured guitars, I doubt I'll be ever be able to get one of these, if they're truly limited. Heck, I've been trying to save up for the Ibanez Q54, ever since it was announced and released, I don't even have half the needed funds for the Q54, let alone being anywhere near the funds for a RESQ:D model. 🥲 Guess I'll just keep playing my RG for the meantime. 😀

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Ayyy Orange gang. 🍊👌🏼 I bet that RG is dope. I love the feel of a good RG. Best of luck on your path to the Q54!

[@WailingRaven]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs 🟠 Thanks! Yeah, it's a great RG, it was a NOS guitar from 2013, and for almost 7 years, no one attempted to buy it, until I put down a deposit for it in late 2019, have been playing it for 3 years now. Even the maple fretboard is stained, due to the amount of time I've put in on it (no to mention it is in a dire need of professional setup, haven't done it due financial constraint 😂). I use it for all sorts of genre, thanks to the very versatile SD P-Rails that I decided to put in, in fact, I uploaded a short-ish video of me attempting Sentient Glow of Periphery few days ago. *_Shameless Plug!_* 😉😆

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@WailingRaven nice man! keep at it 😁🫶🏼

[@WailingRaven]

​@@Plant_Based_Riffs Guitars too fun to stop playing. I've stopped once (for 5 years), I ain't going to stop for the 2nd time! 🤘🤘
