I recently got my hands on what I like to call the "Guitar 2.0"—truly the most ergonomic instrument ever made. It's so lightweight that I barely feel it, and there's absolutely no strain on my back or neck, which is a game changer for someone like me who has a herniated disc. The craftsmanship is impeccable—it's a production model, but it feels like a custom build. I asked them to set up the action to my exact specifications, and they nailed it perfectly. The neck profile is unique and patented, and after about 30 minutes of playing, you really start to appreciate how comfortable it is. Huge thanks to Strandberg for honoring the previous sale price even though the sale had ended by the time I purchased it. I highly recommend this guitar to everyone!

Got my hands on my second Strandberg guitar, and It's absolutely excellent!

Firstly, The customer service was amazing, I e-mailed to enquire if they where still producing a certain model I was interested in, as none where in stock in the UK and not on the website to, They responded saying they had one in Sweden that I was welcome to in there HQ! also went the extra mile explaining how import tax would work, how much it would be and gave a 10% discount, amazing customer service.

The Guitar it's self plays at the highest level of instruments I own, I see a lot of challenge from people with Strandberg as there guitars are produced in Indonesia and at a high price bracket however make no mistake the build quality is right up to the level of a USA or even custom shop quality. The item plays so well, Was so up perfectly and has a brilliant sound.

I have owned 4 Strandberg guitars now, the Boden Essential being the 4th. After playing them for a year, I decided to give some other brands a try. I tried the similarly priced competition from Ibanez, and the half the price made-to-order NK guitars. None of which did what my Strandberg guitars did, which is help me feel better.

After trying the higher end models, I will say they fit and finish on the Boden Essential isn’t exactly what I expected. There are several rough spots in the finish, that for me, are uncomfortable to touch. However they are all on the body of the guitar, and in places I don’t touch often.

That is my only complaint. The guitar’s setup was excellent out of the box (which is more than what I can say from the Ibanez Quest). The body shape, and Endur neck design are so unbeatably comfortable for me.

I messed up my back, neck, and shoulder when I was 17, and while I could still play, it was always difficult. Especially for periods longer than 20-30 minutes. With each Strandberg, I was easily able to do my long 10-12 hour days teaching music to my students without any excess discomfort and pain. This was no different with the Boden Essential.

While I’ll admit, the neck takes getting used to, and not to play, but just to be okay with the more aggressive shape, there is nothing like it that helps me feel better as I play. This goes for the more expensive models with multi-scale frets, and the Boden Essential with a 25.5” scale length.

I’m very happy with my instrument, and knowing no one else can do it better, I will be a customer for life.

Thank you, Ola.

The bass was delivered properly, secured and fast. My main reason for getting this bass was the overall weight, ergonomical design and the tone of Fishman fluence humbucker. This was also my first multi scale bass. The neck is stunning, perfect and never get out of tuned even right out of the box or after a long gig put it on a strandberg bass gig bag and played it on next day. Intonation is all spot on! I sold my basses and having this as my main and workhorse bass! This is definitely not my last strandberg, hope they make a different configurations and pick up options.

Had the Strandberg 6str classic for about 5 years now. Nothing compares to the Strandberg experience. It is comfortable in ways that you appreciate both immediately and over time. The sound... It is said that the devil led the choir of heaven before the fall; if that is so, then this surely was the instrument whose beauty suaded those legions defect, for the æther itself rings and trembles when e'er's silver struck.

I've always wanted a Strandberg for traveling since it's a real guitar and the ergonomics make it perfect for my train commute. I've tried a few others, a knockoff, a Traveler Guitar, but they were always a disappointment. The B-stock sale made this feel like the right opportunity and it was. The guitar arrived today and I love it. I'm not cut out to play a Strandberg as my full-time guitar, but now I can make my long round trip commute a productive one. Fantastic instrument!

It was my first time playing a .strandberg guitar. I was skeptical about ordering a guitar online that I’ve never played before, but a friend of mine told me with .strandberg I didn’t have to worry. He was right. Right of out the box the guitar plays like a dream. The design of it is so incredibly elegant, yet the instrument feels very sturdy and durable. I would describe the instrument itself as a work of art akin to a Van Gogh painting or something similar. The tone is a whole new world for me as well. The option of be able to use humbuckers as well as single coils makes for a wide range of tone versatility. For someone like me who plays many different styles of music, this is perfect for the work that I do. I am very proud to finally own my own .strandberg and am excited to be part of the .strandberg family!

The quality of their work genuinely blows me away. This guitar is perfectly setup, right out of the box. It is easily the most comfortable guitar I have ever played. The craftsmanship is excellent. The design is industry breaking. The sound is superb.
