That opening jam man!! Epic! Will try & get you on again soon 🤘

Man, Connor, I am getting that sig when it hits. Been seeing it on the webs for a bit and I really want it! Gonna make it my first modern headless guitar

[@drabbster]

thanks for the awesome vibes! and your shred at the end caught me off guard - that was insane!

[@kurukq]

Fantastic playin man! Wish you were a permanent part of the channel.

[@canadiancombatwombatthe3rd782]

You didn't have to flex like that in the intro......too good.

[@lnvfx]

It's really refreshing to see a comment section filled with open minded "old-heads." The strandberg guitars are truly revolutionary, and deserve their praise. The look isn't for everyone that's for sure, but I definitely recommend you give them a shot before dismissing based on appearance.

[@Superman-pn1rx]

The ergonomic guitars are dangerous, at the first sight they look strange, but once you start using them they are so comfortable that you find it difficult to go back

[@EdBender]

Old guy here. You're right. I couldn't play a heavy guitar after my headless. Simply makes no sense anymore.

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

Yep. I've had a disk problem in my back for a few years now and being able to tilt the strandberg into classical position (easily) has been a game changer.

[@arunkarthikma3121]

I may be in the minority, but I think the Boden classics and their Plini model look gorgeous

[@alrangelal]

Agree. I just don't feel my Strats anymore. Waiting for a well priced Classic Boden to appear in Reverb so I can have both an HH and an HSS (which I plan to convert to SSS whenever I get it) but for the moment I only play my Boden Standard and I'm in love with it.

[@peterdadswell7998]

I saw the guitars at the beginning and nearly skipped past this video, "nothing to see here" "not for me", and instead, stayed until the end. The more I saw the 3 of you with them the more normal it looked and I would consider myself a traditionalist at 65 but Id honestly and absolutely consider one of these. Great innovation.

[@jasonhuang6332]

I mean if you listen to that intro jam it sounds like classic instruments. Not quite PAFs and 60s single coils, but a Les Paul standard or Tele off the shelf today? Absolutely!

[@MrNeedlekiller]

I got one 2 weeks ago. They are excellent tools.

[@patchworkboy87]

I'm watching this and my heart sinks a little, because I can't help but wonder what would have happened with Parker Guitars along-side Strandberg Guitars as innovative instruments. Absolutely fantastic guitars.

[@nefdsnet]

Played Parker exclusively for 15 years, including a custom shop guitar. I often think about where they would be by now. Playing Strandberg now, since I naturally gravitated towards a company that isn't afraid to innovate and experiment.

[@darrylfoley9427]

Parker Fly Deluxe hardtail has been my main guitar since 93 ,just got a Strandberg classic 6 trem and play both equally now.

[@Piplodocus]

Played a Parker Mojo Flame pretty much exclusively for 10 years. Then I needed a more stratty neck sound too later. Couldn't beat a second hand Nitefly! Now another 10 years on I have a few Parkers. I mostly play my Nitefly with various mods and bareknuckles. Such an awesome guitar and the Niteflies are more easily mod-able than regular flies. Still love my Mojo, but the pickup config in the Nitefly does blues and funk as well as heavy riffing so great I'm not sure what I'd ever replace it with. I've looked too at other guitars out of curiosity, but they've just got such a nice feel, sound, nice features and so playable! The frets are 20 years old now on some, but still look new. Why spend money to get something with a less good trem or that's harder to restring or just doesn't sound as good or something else the Parker just does great?

I'm primarily a blues and jazz player. I like "classic" guitars with medium C necks and traditional shapes, but I was intrigued by Strandbergs and the Endure neck profile. I couldn't justify spending 2K on one, but I bought a Boden Essential and it's a really good guitar. The ergonomics are great, the neck is awesome (although it took me a good half hour of playing to get used to it) and I'm super impressed by the build quality. Everyone should try one, you can even play blues on it!

[@drabbster]

guys, the vibe in this room is absolutely unreal in this one!

[@MonkeyDolphin]

I'm an old guy (55) who started out shredding on Ibanez RGs, and over the years have acquired and still own Strats, Les Pauls, PRS' etc. I was always intrigued by Strandbergs and bought a Boden Original 6 with the Suhr humbuckers a few years ago. I love the thing. It's so light and comfortable, with nothing in your way. It lives on my couch, and the fact that I can comfortably noodle with it while reclined means it gets played a lot!

[@Sitiben]

I bought a Strandberg Boden last year. It has become my #1 guitar ever since and I even started selling other more traditional guitars as I don't use them anymore. It plays and sounds great, it's comfortable and very light so you can easily play for hours standing and sitting. I was wondering about the perception of folks when I play gig, but if anything, what I get is compliments on the guitar. Only other guitarists tend to think it looks odd, but then they try and like it. Everyone else think it looks great from the get-go!

[@nefdsnet]

Don't worry, Pete... played two Strandberg models, a Custom Shop Parker and an Ovation acoustic for my last gig. Once you're used to them, you don't even think about headstock or no headstock, you just enjoy great guitars.

truthfully I always thought they were weird, now all i think about is having one, I see it as what I would call guitar version 2, someone who genuinely saw what the guitar was and made substantial changes to progress the instrument, love strandbergs now

[@tjesson92]

Great video. Connor is an absolute BEAST. His riffs are ridiculous

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

Welcome Connor! I bought myself an Eart headless from Amazon just for ***** and giggles to see what headless was all about and I can't wait to get my hands on a Boden! I don't care who you are or what sort of a player you are, everyone needs to spend some time with a headless guitar!

[@kaeruemkui2654]

Guitar nerd hu?

[@LunatiqueRob]

I did exactly the same thing years ago. I wasn't sure if I would like the design, so when I saw the Eart W series and how cheap they were, I got a W1 and liked it, so I went ahead and splurged on a Strandberg. The Eart was great for a cheap guitar, but Strandbergs are in a whole different tier overall. I eventually ended up owning eight Strandberg models. I currently only have one left since I discovered there are characteristics I prefer in other guitars I own, but I will always have at least one Strandberg in my studio.

[@whompompomp]

Been eagerly awaiting this one... Awesome. My Boden is dream guitar status. That Salen sounds incredible.

[@sourav2328]

very interesting, analytical and informative video!

[@GuitarDad76]

Love the intro jam ❤

[@nobodybutusinhere]

I splurged and I have a 6, 7, and an 8. I love the form factor, it's so light. I also had a Steinberger copy years ago so I love the headless. I'm ambivalent on the neck, it seems to be fine, though it's a little uncomfortable to play in first position on the 8 string. What really gets me about these guitars is the fingerboard. Maybe it's the frets, but the fingerboard is so incredibly smooth the guitars are just a joy to play.

[@chrisvandenbos9764]

Proud owner of 7 Strandberg guitars. Great day to day instruments and they're fantastic for when I'm sitting for 8 hours teaching lessons. They definitely get the most attention, but I do have a Les Paul, a 335 and a few other instruments that do very different things that the Strandbergs can't. Goes without saying that I'm a lucky guy to have so many wonderful instruments.

[@ricknelson347]

I bought a Boden because I was having lots of elbow and back problems from playing. After about two weeks of playing the Strandberg, all those issues went away and I could play for as long as I used to. I'm almost 50. I've never been too attached to aesthetics with guitars, but I do love how it feels to play these. I'll probably add another one to my collection.

[@rowbags3017]

Crikey! That opening jam! 😎

[@Ivan_Ku.]

Thank you guys! Tried the strandberg in Japan for the first time. It was so easy and natural! The pickups configuration are really useful. It's a little pricey, yes, but it's so comfortable. Cheers

Bought a 7 string boden original last year. Amazing guitar, easily my favourite to play. So lightweight and comfortable.

[@radfury23g32]

I LOVEEEE the new Salen shape they released...instantly wanted one

[@scottnorem]

It’s intriguing that Pete mentioned brands and settings they are played in. A really good friend and I both have strandberg guitars and we play in a P&W setting pretty regularly. There are times that we hesitate taking them, but man, they are soooo good and capable of doing so much that we feel like we may be missing something if we don’t have them. A lot of the time we record parts with them at home and then end up playing something else live. Maybe we should push the envelope a little and make them more common place in different situations!

[@rtroupe7580]

I bought a Boden Prog NX6 for travel along with my WAZA Air headset - it’ll fit in an overhead bin and isn’t much bigger than a tennis racket in the case. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do and I now play it more than any of my other guitars - even those twice the price. I find it amazingly versatile and super comfortable to play. I also get a lot of compliments on it from ppl who have seen it.

[@steppingrazor5520]

I got interested when the arthritis in my neck got out of hand. It was the weight that first attracted me. All three of mine are under 6 pounds, one of them under 5. The Salen which is his tribute to a thinline Tele sounds amazing. I know a lot of people are put of by the variable scale, but it is extremely well done on the strandbergs and improved my bending technique on my guitars with traditional fretting. For older guitarists beginning to struggle with joint pain, etc very highly recommended. For others, also very highly recommended.

[@jemsophia]

I was super skeptical but I bought a resq:d earlier this year and it's immediately my favorite guitar. it just feels insane to play guitars that hurt my shoulders/back/wrists when a more ergonomic alternative is available. I only play my other guitars as backups or when I need a different pickup sound to record - but I'd love to have a stable exclusively of bodens

[@pinkfluffeeunicorns]

as a strandberg owner who has had a few friends try it out, the ones who find it difficult to use the fanned frets are those who had muscle memory of playing and stretching at certain points of the neck, where the spacing throws them off a bit. that said the fan angle isnt quite as aggressive as some other brands.

[@ensoniq2k]

For me the Strandberg immediately took over. I have a Gibson LP I've been playing for 15 years und that Strandberg is just incredible. Ordered another one with a through neck and even a cheap Chinese clone just because of the shape so I'm not worried about damaging it when practicing on the balcony.

[@pinkfluffeeunicorns]

from the point that i got really into guitar, i really wanted a strandberg because i loved playing in a classical position and for the ergonomics. and i got a 2nd hand stranberg nx classic earlier this year and i have no regrets. if anyone is considering getting one, id say its really worth it if you are into some combination of these things 1. you travel with your guitar a lot 2. if you play in classical position majority of the time 3. if you like ergonomics also it plays any genre, the pickups are great especially if you get the models with the suhr pickups (i mostly play jazz, soul and RnB)

[@thesmellycatjazz]

Just got my Strandberg Boden Standard a few days ago. I didn't like the thickness at first, but it's growing on me. The Endura-neck feels more like an asymmetrical V to me, and the fact that you don't need to follow the line makes it less spooky to approach. I'm getting used to the frets, and there a few things that are simply easier to play (like chords higher up on the neck), but I'll keep at it. It makes my Ibanez RG feel too heavy and the neck too slim at times. It's interesting.

I held one about 3 years ago in a guitar store and knew right away that I always wanted one. Still on my dream guitar, someday list. Way out of my budget but I fell in love with the comfort and easy playability. Some day, maybe I get lucky and find a cheap second hand one. I really wish they had a poor mans line for this brand. Strandberg if you are listening, Please make like a squire or epiphone style line that is more accessible. Even PRS has done this with the standards. Awesome video and Connor was perfect for show casing and speaking to this product.

[@paleopasha]

Seems like the EART GW2 is the closest budget option with the headless and the Strandberg shape but it won’t have the fanned frets or endura neck. But for under $400 and seemingly very good fretwork, those omissions are hard to complain about and of course no other brand will have that neck profile.

[@tranqbee6543]

It’s not an age thing these guitars finally advance the design of the instrument. We have 30+ guitars in our studio and I play the Strandberg Boden Original NX7 more than any . other. The comfort and Fishman’s sound so clean. It makes me a better player

[@TVsBen]

The most interesting one to me is the Essential. I get why the company pushes the more expensive models, but the lack of multi scale is a bonus IMO. The Endure Neck is definitely interesting as a shape, though.

[@JoeHeisler]

Personally I found the fanned frets don’t affect the playing experience much. I prefer the string tension especially on an extended range instrument.

[@davidfaustino4476]

It's all about that string tension and honestly that's probably the bigger selling point than having an endurneck on a 6 string.
