- I wanted a new 8-string guitar, but couldn’t make up my mind, so I decided to get creative. 😊
The Reverb listing mentioned in the video is here: reverb.com/ite...
Excellent video my friend! You've got me curious to try this on some of mine now :D
Holy moly, Connor Kaminski himself! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊
Excellent video! And the “song” you played as a demo, is Amazing!! Beautiful!!
And now you have the most exciting Strandberg 8 strings guitar so far ! M8 pickups are amazing :)
Ahhh I play Boden original 8 string. I love them
Great video subbed😊
But I also love fishman😅
Huge Rich Henshall fan, and i very much like the contrast in the original Signature guitar, but i see your points! Definitely the first time i see a mod like this! Great idea
Thank you so much! 😊
Love this video, Steven! In your position, I would have done the same thing. I have played a few Strandys but have never bought one because they haven't designed one that checks all the boxes. Glad you took matters into your own hands. You make interesting music, too!
This turned out so damn well. Love the end result!
Great video and the end result looks awesome! Wished strandberg had a guitar builder option, they feel great guitars to play on but somehow their aesthetic are always a few points short. If I had the cash I would have grabbed the updated Metal
Absolutely dope guitar dude. The Lamphear edition is outstanding! Awesome playing too, loved that demo track 🤘
I love this video for so many reasons. Imagine a future full of Partstrandbergs!
Really cool. This is something I would do. I’m thinking of getting a Strandberg. I just got to try one. Might start with essential
Dude! Phenomenal work! Sick playing and a fantastic idea! The editing is really great and the video flows well. I’m kinda hoping that Strandberg starts to use those Lundgren pups on more lines. I really want one with the chambering but passive pickups. Hope the channel does well!
Edit: Oh, and I forgot my TH-cam etiquette… First!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m hoping we’ll start seeing Lundgrens more often; they’re the best! The fact that the Futur line will be using them is promising.
Really cool idea, those passive pickups sounds fantastic!
This is great! Both look better after your changes! I've always been disappointed at most strandy 8's being stuck with soapbar routes.
great idea, great execution.
Thanks for sharing your experiment! Your ‘Franken-strand berg’ sounds great.
looks like you're having fun!
enjoy~
Those rhythm tones are awesome man
Nice playing I really liked the clean part at the beginning
Love strandbergs. Looking for an 8 now but waiting to see what gets announced for the new year. Love your custom! Lol cheers
that solo was nuts
really cool posters. i'd be interested in new music from you
I was also thinking of doing this!
Agreed, that was a great match. End result stunning. I also want a 8 string Strandberg NX with richlite, but there arent many alternatives. I am also not , like you, sold on the Fishmans. The Henshall's pups sounds great. But on the expensive side to get to this end result because you need to buy two.....;-)
Amazing video. Hope I can have only one guitar to practice.
That turned out incredible even if i would have kept the color offset knobs (i thought they looked amazing).
Iam just wondering: can't the fishman PU be switched to passive mode via one of the Push - Pull pods?
Love the Cynic posters!
Im jealous of the Rich Henshall model.
Nice! I would never buy a guitar with bright fretboard. I always had the idea that cheap guitars had bright fretboards. Also I get lost playing it.
Whoah. How are you hanging them on the wall on those hangers without a headstock?
That was way easier than I thought. Great video 😃
Thank you so much! Yeah, I was pretty surprised when it just worked. 😂 I had to do saddle adjustments on both guitars, but that was really the only wrinkle.
I'm interested on your lead tone, it sounds as if the tone knob was at zero, I like it but I just wonder if it is the pickup or just the way you like it
The tone knob was actually all the way up! I was using the neck pickup though, which is much warmer than the bridge. The tone was just the Electric Sunrise Lead preset from Archetype Plini. 😊
Cynic posters in the background are sick. Thats my 2nd fav band
Perfect, if only you worked for strandberg. I don't understand why the guitar that would sell most, doesn't exist. Natural finish, passive pickups with HH config and a richlite fretboard. Dude no one wants active pickups or HSS, disposable batteries are not good for the environment and no one wants a battery to go flat while performing.
imagine bein so rich you can made "frankenberg"
Like Fishmans are cool and all but like with all the tones they offer it doesn't seem like they nail any. Jack of all trades master of none kinda thing
Since for you and 99% of us the guitars stay in the same air conditioned room year round, potential temperature/humidity changes and fret sprout are a non-issue.
Well....since you show it one cannot help but wondering,...as you willing to invest that much...why not get someone to built you an headless 8 just as you want it, with your name and smell on it...? Rather than mess about with those production line, and I think way overpriced, ready made stuff...
Cool play, love the visual overlay!
🤘👽
Do you use a 9 as the 1st string? Is the sound not too light?
With the 26.5" scale length on the high side, you'd pretty much have to use a .009
how hard is to change a 9v battery every 3 months🤷🏽
Chicken head inlay is the lamest thing about this guitar. The only thing that comes close is the ugly wooden knobs 😂 well done.
