    Plini made me get my Strandberg. And I will get another one soon. Once I was a headless guitar hater but this one changed my view. I saved for a Gibson LP and ebede up with Strandberg boden prog 6. Never regretted my choice.

    I own 35 various electric guitars. I've been playing a collecting for 45 years. I bought the Strandberg boden plini about a month ago. What a back saver. Nice guitar. Very good quality, lots of tone. No, it's not a Charvel or an ESP, but a very versatile machine. Nice work Plini.

    Headless guitar: lightweight, super easy to travel with, ergonomic as all fuck so your back doesn’t get all fucked up. Super low action possible with tuners on body, dope.
    I like me a les Paul, sure, but headless guitars just make playing so much easier. My back certainly appreciates it.

    • @zeppelinmexicano

      @@Dr.Connectome maybe EnduroNeck is not for you, but I had no trouble with it. I love the radius, the neck, the frets, the tuners, everything except the lack of large fret inlays. I cannot imagine somebody who can shred on a C neck not getting along with the EnduroNeck. If you are that worried you need to sit down with one in a shop. I found it surprisingly easy to adapt to. There was no real adaptation. That's how easy it was. I've never heard of anybody having difficulty with it that lasted more than a few minutes or an hour. It's too natural especially above the 12th fret. Good luck, maybe just test drive it for a while.

      I think they are great... I played mainly PRS USA models... I bought my first strandberg about 1.5 years ago because I was looking for something light and small to make traveling easier. I have sense bought a second strandberg and sold all but one of my PRS. Fit and finish are great. Super light, great sustain. You can play any style music on them (I play mostly classic rock). Not sure why they really push towards the nu wave/djent folks... probably due to the traditionalists being too obsessed with looks and not the usability... you wont regret buying one!

      @mariuseggertsson5065 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      My guess is because Misha and Tosin got big name brands like Ibanez and Jackson to sponsor them which have more appeal to the casual player than something so boutique such as Strandberg. Also Aaron from Intervals has switched a couple of times since Strandberg so he's just going where the best deal for him, personally, is.

    I never like headless guitars . Love the shape. Just the head makes them look like a kid guitar. They should place a rotating head with the logo in carbon fiber just for the looks and to hold into a wall. And 1 cm bigger in the body.

    • @robadobflob3405
      @robadobflob3405 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      the whole point of a headless guitar is to make it a better instrument by keeping the guitar in tune. It does this by basically having a locking nut, but with a zero fret instead of an actual slotted nut.
