About a year ago I became very curious about a friends guitar....an 8 string! Headless, Fan Fret Multi Scale. Something that I NEVER would have thought that I would be interested in, but I was getting more involved in Ambient Guitar and using Baritones for that lower register. I found one that was pretty affordable, bought it...and fell in LOVE! I recently found a Strandberg Boden Standard NX8 that someone was selling used and grabbed it. It's even BETTER! ...and I'm a little over 70 years old! Great interview. Great Guitars!

He's such an underrated player, he was excellent in your gear reviews and such a good laugh, but he's a phenomenal musician on guitar, bass, synths and backing vocals!! Especially after Life in the Wires, his performance is so great on it and I'd love to hear him talking more about that band, his involvement and input with it, as well as all the stories he must have to tell about his career and his playing in Level 42..

I love the ideas behind Strandberg and am saving up for one. But I think their marketing has one problem - it's all super-prog shredders playing twisty riffs and scales (I like prog though and Connor's playing is a great advert for that market). . Strandberg need to show that the guitars are just as good at AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, David Gilmour, the classic dad-rock crowd. Get those guys curious and you'll sell double the amount of guitars! They are really versatile instruments

So glad to hear him mention Steinberger and his appreciation for his guitars. He is one of the greatest guitar makers/innovators of all time and doesn't get his due respect/recognition. That Gibson has wasted his brand and that it is not a major player in the market and the genres/players of Strandberg is a travesty. I would love to see that brand reclaim it's former glory and place in the market.

There's nothing wrong using old stockpiles of noble woods, as there's nothing wrong using noble wood in a sustainable way (which is very difficult, because the trees take decades or centuries to grow). The problem is using them indiscriminately, what we already did, unfortunately. I like the idea of techwood/richlite for cheaper guitars.

I disagree on the True Temperament thing. I think it is objectively better. The argument that an equal temperament guitar is better, purely because ‘it’s the norm’ (and always has been) is a weak one. If the first electric guitars were built with TT frets, we wouldn’t accept an ET one nowadays. Just because something is the ‘norm’, doesn’t mean it’s correct; regardless of how many iconic records were made.
@thisguy2973Ай бұрын
Well…many many MANY metalheads love Dimebag and are perfectly accepting that his guitar’s relative pitch is overall out of tune, so it kinda shatters the argument of perfect intonation.
@jackflynn-oakley1937Ай бұрын
Dimebags guitar isn’t out of tune, he just tunes to a different tuning. Tuning and temperament are entirely seperate things.

@ no, I mean he actually tuned his guitar slightly flat to 425hz. Whichever tuning he was in, it wasn’t to 440.
@jackflynn-oakley1937Ай бұрын
@@thisguy2973 Yes, I know. That doesn't mean he's 'out of tune', he's very much in tune, just that he tunes to 425hz (like you say). This has nothing to do with temperament (other than the fact that he would sound off in his tuning on a TT guitar. In theory you could build a TT fretboard to match Dimebags tuning and it would work fine however). Tuning and temperament are entirely different things... I don't know what you're getting at sorry.
