when guitar players go HEADLESS

[@mikecole4489]

Tell me your thoughts headless or nah!?

[@reubenrozeyt5716]

For me..........eh?

[@troysmithfr]

Proud owner of a strandberg 8. Feels like the neck was made for me.

[@rickc2102]

Strandbergs are the perfect couch guitar And I really like my couch

[@neilomac]

I have a Jamstik Studio MIDI guitar - I bought it initally with a view to using it as a MIDI controller, but fell in love with it as a regular guitar. Small, light body, plays good, sounds decent, makes me want to get more headless things.

[@justinhale1886]

went headless with a strandberg for about a year, started to miss the weight of a headstock in my hand and it really bothered me to the point i sold it and honestly don’t regret it

[@TheToneArchive]

I'm told that some of these headless guitars ride around in the dead of night chopping the heads off of other guitars

[@joshuamartinez8216]

Been playing guitar 5 years... Still haven't gotten any head

[@thaabstrakt]

Did you say “shine up sheet?”

[@AstralBayo]

I was a Les Paul player. Then, I tried Strat and loved it. But, since I'm a Metal fan, who don't play Metal (I play Blues / Neo Soul / Lo-Fi), I always wanted to try a headless. Years after, I have 3 Strandberg, a Hils, an Ibanez Ichi10, an Ibanez Quest and a GOC. I still love my Strats. But my headless are the best.

[@alrangelal]

I love my Boden Standard 6. It's last gen, so it has the roasted maple neck and it plays beautifully. Tuner position is an acquired taste, but the ergonomics of the body and the neck make up for it and then some. It's light so you can play standing up longer, its cutaways allow you to adopt a standing position while sitting down... It's just heaven. I've retired my Strat and Les Paul and gig exclusively with my Boden and I haven't looked back.

[@wren23_bass-synths]

I’m mainly a bassist and part time guitarist who watches your channel regularly. I just got a Ibanez EHB headless bass. Smaller and lightweight and balanced with no head dive. I was looking at a Strandberg to add with my PRS CE custom. I’m more interested in the tone and weight of guitars/basses now. I’m hoping to try a Strandberg soon while I’m in Tokyo(I live in Kyoto).

[@IndieMerchantSam]

I absolutely want a strandberg. One of my friends has a boden 7 string and the first time I played the neck I knew that they’re for me. I don’t love the headless aesthetic but the ergonomics are godly for the extended voicings I play a lot as a math rock/ 5th wave emo player. I don’t have one yet but I’m actively saving for one rn

[@betweenthelines9973]

I use my 7-string Strandberg for worship at my church. Definitely surprised my band members initially, but now they love it haha. Sometimes I try sneak in some chugs. It's my favorite guitar I've played so far!

[@MilesOlsenMusic]

If you’re trying to step out of your comfort zone, consider an LTD, the Eclipse (depending on the model) has some similarities with a Les Paul but much more modernized and overall feels a lot different

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

The pinnacle of Swedish minimalism. Ola truly trimmed all the fat possible

[@rylyn_burne]

Welcome to the headless club! I’m not a strat/tele guy but I bought the Boden Classic and it’s incredible. My guitar teacher said it sounded more like a Strat than his Strat then bought the same pickups lol

[@apisdude]

I love my Strandbergs. My Strat and SG are back in their cases for a long nap

[@george.vasilev.reyner1916]

Aaaah yes! My arch nemesis - headless guitars! We meet again! If anyone is gonna convince me to give you a chance it's gonna be Mike.

[@prblackhawk]

My strandberg is my absolute favourite guitar. Sure they look a little funny. But theyre good enough that I own two of them now and have had a total of 4 over the years. The tuners get a little funky but the guitar is so stable its often in tune whenever I pick it up. Neck felt completely natural.

[@thesash7063]

I just bought a Boden Fusion NX6 and now I‘m going to Sell all my Order Guitars and I‘m going to buy another Strandberg. I simply ganz‘ go back to heavy and unconfortable Guitars.

[@ggar5416]

I’ve never liked headless guitars. Except for strandberg. I’ve had 3, and love them.

[@joedelossantos6556]

Never skip a Mike Cole vid 🙌🏽

[@marcocruz6210]

this guy gets it

[@lonnieezell]

I had a Strandberg Fusion for a while. Loved it. One of the best playing and sounding guitars I've ever played. The only thing that messed with me a bit was the fan on the upper 12 frets. They occasionally threw me off. That hooked me on headless, though. I only sold it because I decided to give in to me need for a "prettier" guitar and get a Kiesel headless. I still miss it some days, though. I think I'd like the fan on the 7 strings better.

[@BeatleJWOL]

Still not sure how I feel about the tuners being on the other end but my understanding is that that's also how Floyd Rose setups work.

[@marcocruz6210]

you’re not a tutorial youtuber but you really inspire me to play more so i’ll never skip a vid much love

[@katzensprung7449]

Hello Mike, love your channel! I have the NX6 (Amber) and absolutely love it.

[@memo888]

soooo.... where is the input ?

[@handanarts]

Awesome video! Can we get a updated guitar collection video

[@CR0SSJ]

mike's B shots have been on point. Super impressed on the videos. I've been wanting to try the strandberg for a while now, but in NZ I don't think we have any big chains that have these and to get one is super expensive :(

[@nicholasaragon4126]

7:22 For some reason that riff makes me want to leave the guitar I'm with and start a new relationship with a headless one...not sure why... can't put my finger on it. 🤔

[@JosephLSSimpson]

I ADORE my Strandberg Boden 8 RESQ

[@impossivel2006]

You can convert a Les Paul into a headless real easy

[@saswatahalder8693]

I am waiting for this video the moment I learned about Ichika Nito and his guitar Ichi10

[@jessebarrera159]

Love the guitar

[@CuduCane]

Ever since buying an Nx6 Classic its hard for me to go back to a traditional body shape. Really just the weight .

[@DREKOWICK69]

i'd take one but Ican't bring anymore home

[@shadowminister4090]

I mainly play an acoustic, and I'm not that good either. 😂. I have a Squier strat, but have always liked Teles. That said, I think I'd prefer something with less string tension; maybe 24.75 scale. I'm going to try 9s on my Squier. All of that said, I'm getting drawn to offsets and things that are a bit different and love the concept of a headless. Probably overthinking it all. I need to be able to play more than cowboy chords before worrying about GAS. 😅.

[@robertmueller2023]

Johnny Winter (one of my favorites) on the Serious Business CD cover?

[@SuperD3v1N]

I used shit on headless and then I played one and it's all I can think about

[@icyendo]

Early!!! Also I’ve always been inspired by the Dire Straits live aid show with the headless guitar on rhythm

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

Hello 👋

[@andrewjeffrey7549]

Literally receiving my delivery for my NX6 within an hour #destiny

[@davisbrothersband9990]

Dang I’m early on this one

[@ServingMyJesus]

Hi, I am a songwriter from the UK. As well as watching your videos, I watch an awesome bass player called Travis Dykes. I do not know if you are aware of him. Anyway, I would really like to write a gospel tune for you both. Is this something that you would be interested in collaborating in?

[@hunterofthemystic]

Never played one, don't really care if you play one. I just do not like way they look, it looks unbalanced and "off". They sound decent enough just not for me

[@SGVB22]

I can't follow this guy anymore, feel terrible after every video, and he's always sounding like he just started playing but buys a 3k guitar? yeah I'm done

[@malakaimartin543]

L hater 😂

[@southernpanda33]

You do realize that’s a $1,600 guitar, right? I mean, all you have to do is click the link before commenting. Seems easy enough.

[@nicholasaragon4126]

Good, get some fresh air and touch some grass lil bro. We're all on our own journeys together but separate. We're all fans of the instrument in our own way. But nobody on the planet is making videos for YOU specifically.

[@Al6ert6]

Yeah, same feeling. Talking>playing

[@nicholasaragon4126]

​@@Al6ert6what about you? Where's your playing? Doesn't exist does it? Quit talking then.
