The minor fan in the frets helps intonation superbly, you can play higher on the bass strings and they sound completely in tune. Also string tension is more even especially in the lower strings, you get a snap on the E string but slinky feel up the treble strings.
Thanks for featuring my guitar Trogly! I love the weird Japan-exclusive stuff! I'll answer any questions people have about it. The fanned frets are for multi-scale string tension, not tuning. On a 6 string it's pretty gentle going from a 25.5" on the bass side to 25.0" on the treble side. 7+ string fanned fret guitars will have more extreme fanning. In about 45mins to an hour I got comfortable with it and am able to transition between it and straight fret guitars with no muscle memory issues, so don't be afraid of fanned frets! I do want to mention the 12th fret marker is the logo for LOCK's band, Raise a Suilen, not a personal logo.
Very interesting guitar you have there. I am definitely a fan of the sound of the pick ups, other then that. Not, my cup of tea, but enjoy that thing to the fullest 🤘🤘 congrats sincerely.
@@jairotena8281 I'm so impressed with this MII one that the MIJ one seems almost silly to consider unless the country of origin really means that much to you. Diminishing returns sort of deal. I'm sure they're amazing too, but idk about $4k nice with the weeb tax on it.
Fundamentally you're just missing out on the Fishmans and a gloss finish with the MIJ. Mine came used with an 81/85, so I dig it. But if you are doing a collection as he mentioned, tbh I have the "LTD" Sayo and was disappointed with it
Just so you know, the reason for the fan frets is because it is multi-scale. The high "E" is 25" while the low "E" is 25-1/2. Has really nothing to do with proper intonation. Having one myself I can tell you they are extremely comfortable to play and the fan frets aren't a problem at all.
Fan frets is to have different scale lenght from E to e to have more optimal string tension across the strings. True temperament frets on the other hand is for the intonation.
First off its really cool to see this one featured here. I'd love to have the 7 string version myself. This is the budget version of this guitar and the specs on the high end one are crazy but so is the price. When it comes to the bang dream stuff across the board the price difference between the two models is crazy. Then to clear up a few bang dream factoids the 12th fret inlay is actually part of Raise A Suilen's logo which is the band LOCK is the guitarist for. There's alot of bands now that stem from the game, some of which have become real and others that likely never will due to how they've gone about putting them together. Of the ones that do exist quite a few of the voice talents involved were already musicians and do record stuff but generally aren't too involved with writing and such. To anyone else interested in models from the brand please NGD them with Trogly so we can get more episodes showing them off!
I've already got the Kasumi Random Star, O-Tae Snapper, Rimi Viper bass, Sayo M-II, Lisa BTL, Toko Arrow, and Nanami Bottom Bump, so someone else is going to have to NGD those. Just need the Layer bass and maybe one day I'll consider the MyGO!!!!! guitars, but Rana and Soyo's axes look so ugly to me lol.
the inlay at the 12th fret is the symbol of the producer/dj of the band raise a suilen, Chu2, its essentially the logo of the band, not the symbol for asahi rokka, also known as "LOCK"
The fanned frets is actually more about string tension than intonation. Meaning, the higher bendy strings are a short scale, easier for sweeping, bending, shredding, while the lower strings maintain a longer scale to avoid any pitch drift for slamming drop tuned riffs.
7:49 I think the fanned frets' purpose isn't to make the guitar intonate better but to increase the string tension on the bass side and lower it on the treble side, which is very much needed on 7 or 8-string guitars as the string tension will just plainly feel bad if the scale length remains the same across the whole plethora of strings. The bass strings would feel floppy with a shorter scale length and the treble strings would feel hard to bend with a longer scale length, and here comes the fanned frets so each string would have its own appropriate scale length and string tension, which is why fanned frets are also called multi-scale. To help you understand the reasoning better, think about why basses and baritone guitars have a longer scale length than your typical 6-string guitars.
So I just thought very hard about how multi-scale can help improve intonation and came up with an idea: bass strings always require a higher action than treble strings, and think about how when fretting further up the fretboard on a normal parallel fret guitar, a bass string would be longer than a treble string since the bass string sits higher at the bridge(Pythagoras theorem), and it would be more tensioned as it has to be pressed deeper to make contact with the frets. By slightly adjusting the angle of each fanned fret, you may be able to compensate for that difference in tension and scale a little bit better on top of just optimizing string tension for playability.
While I do NOT own one...Strandberg Boden guitars have huge benefits in ergonomics. That is the main point of the Strandberg designs. I do own a headless, Multi Scale, Fan Fret, Agile Chiral Parallax guitar (8 string) that I never would have imagined me having the least interest in...... and I LOVE it! These guitars are designed to be played while "wearing it" higher than your typical "Rock Guitar".
i have a strandberg, and honestly i dont like the neck profile alot, but the cutaway for the leg which makes shredding in classical position way more easy and the extremely light weight still make it one of my favorite guitars. 9/10, would be a clear 10/10 with a more rounded edge from fretboard to neck and slightly cheaper replacement parts
The EndurNeck is the single most comfortable neck I have ever played. I now have two strandbergs* and they are among my favorite if not THE favorite guitars in my collection. Ergonomic by definition.
Hey trogly just wanted to mention that it wasnt some famous guitarist or cool song that got me into guitars, it was YOU You are my huge inspiration for guitars and i absolutely love your reviews, demos, and unboxings, seeing all these cool guitars is so awesome, so thank you!
The neck profile interests me, wouldn’t mind trying a neck like that out. I had a soft v profile neck on a clapton strat I had years back and really enjoyed it.
Its not nearly as alien as it looks, I have a Strandberg and some 'normal' neck guitars and can go from one to other without issue but I think this neck profile is maybe the most comfortable I've tried.
Thanks. This is pretty much the only video I’ve seen that has some form of teardown. I’m building my own cheaper clone and it’s good to see some close up specifics, like the grounding route. Would love to see Strandberg do a factory tour sometime. One day I’ll own one, but I’ve still yet to see any local music shops stock any for a test drive tbh
Trogly…thanks for this one…I really, really like that guitar…I’d consider picking one up, but I’d like to have it in my hands first…excellent stuff my man👍
I love the Endurneck, I kinda wish they'd do a straight fret model though. Sure on the 7 and 8 string models, fanned frets are great (somewhat necessary on the 8 string because those low strings are low and fat) but on a 6 string I find them more annoying than helpful.
Honestly, I was surprised with this one. I'm not a big fan of headless guitars (this didn't really change that), but the finish colour and the tone of this guitar really stood out to me. Not bad at all. Not sure how well I would get on with that neck shape though.
S...I've had a Prog model for three or four years and mine has an Ebony fingerboard and a baked maple neck with carbon stringers and a tremolo system, and the only thing that I don't like really is the fact that it's so lightweight ,which I love, that when I move the tremolo I hafta really hang onto the guitar because the whole guitar will move with the tremolo bar because it's so lightweight ...but I love the endure neck ...and the multi scale frets I can take or leave but I don't really have a problem with them unless I'm trying to play weird chords up high but it's a great guitar for people that are having problems with their shoulders, neck, wrists, and what have you..
If you have never tried a headless, I would recommend you give one a try. They are not for everyone, but I got a headless Ibanez 5 string bass and all of my other basses have been getting lonely ever since.
I would actually be really curious to find out what a neck like that feels like and see what a more high neck of the same design one would behave like long term. I also really like the functional aspect of the way the output jack is mounted to the back plate. If a guy took that concept to the extreme and mounted the entire circuit to the back plate, you could have entirely different swappable point to point circuits for your guitar that you just plug into the pickups and ground and screw that plate down. There used to be a Randall head back in the day where you could swap out the preamp circuits. They were mounted in a sort of cassette that you slid in the front of the cabinet. I think there were 3 different preamp “cassettes “ that you could get for it. They ranged from mildly overdrivey to classic Randall chainsaw distortion in nature. But then; I digress… There are some good ideas in this guitar’s design. The downside is that they’re expressed with cheap materials and components.
If you have to rotate the tuner knob with the ball end trapped in there, won't the string be twisted in the direction of the tuner rotation? It seems like that might effect the string windings pretty radically.
I doubt I would like that neck based on how I use my thumb and change my hand position for playing different things. The flat part means it work better for than a V neck, as I would often have my thumb there. I would have to try it myself to see how it works for me. But for others I can see how they might like it. And if you do, cool.
Great work as always Trogly! Cool to see bang dream showing up on the show! Fun fact for you Trogly that Goryo Yuto Les Paul is actually from Argonavis which is in the Bang Dream Franchise.
nice guitars that have a sound you can only get from a Strand but i hate veneers especially on higher end guitars, i would only rock one of these if it was in a solid color.
I never expected seeing this one on the channel. I’m a big fan of the franchise and own a Japanese made Strandberg Lock model(the model actually used in the series, the one in the video is the more accessible scale down version), which has quite a few upgrades such as woods and hardwares, loaded with a set of Fishman Fluence Modern PUs. Tbh these specs are not for me, I actually hate its sound, even with the “vintage” setting it sounds too modern and lifeless to me, and it’s crazy expensive. But I absolutely love the look, the weight and flashiness when played in a dark environment(Fret inlays and the logo are glowing). The feel of Endurneck is quite unique, not my favorite but for the style it intended to play I can get used to it, and it’s really comfortable to play it sitting down.
I got an opportunity to play one of these at guitar center. I always these were ugly stupid guitars, but when I played it, I knew it was special. I probably won’t ever forgive myself for not buying it.
Can't say i wouldn't like it since i haven't tried it. Its interesting to sayvthe least. Im cutios how string changes and other adjustments like setup would work with this one. Not sure if its just the fact that there is fanned frets or if the pickups are also slightly angled like a stratocaster or Telecaster on one of theirs.
Actually fanned frets have nothing to do about intonation. Its mostly used to down tune the low strings (drop D, etc) or down a whole tune on all strings, and the low strings wont feel too loose, they would mantain it tightness.
I’ve heard Keith via Five Watt World talk about these a few times on his show and when I saw it I just kinda shook my head. After seeing a bit more of a deep dive here I can’t say I wasn’t interested hah! Would I buy one? Most probably not but I’d definitely try one if I saw one hanging on a wall @ a GC or something… It does look comfortable if you’re usually sitting down to play and that neck profile is what really made me curious about it.
I just played my first one today, but I don't have enough money to buy one yet. I'm so annoyed I played one because now my current guitar feels terrible relatively
Funny enough if you're into String Swing wall mounts, the ukulele version fits the knob at the top of the Strandberg neck perfectly. This is what I use.
Despite the cringe name, it’s surprisingly wholesome (as are other shows in the same genre). There aren’t any gender relationships - in fact there aren’t any male characters featured lol. Hope that clarifies things!
That's just what it's called in Japanese. It's a Japan-exclusive model so it doesn't need to make sense in English. People who enjoy the show often joke about how it seems like there's no men in its universe lol.

The strings are isolated in the housing and doesn't twist with the adjustment knob.

@@Thornbeard Cool. Makes sense that they would see that might be a problem. The rest of the design is pretty well considered for functionality.

Can anyone tell me the wiring diagram in minute 10:27
The wiring Its different from my guitar custom, i bought from local shop,
That trapezoid cross-section should make for a very stiff & stable neck.
The fanned frets are for a compound scale length, not to help with intonation.
Our lead guitarist has one of these. It plays nice.
Tbh it’s cool, but definitely not $1200 cool.
I think the Bang Dream guitar has been around for about 6 years now.
I like it a lot. I looks modern and fresh. I would add a Sustaniac System and shred with it. Maybe I buy one soon.
I have a Strandberg Leda Cygnus 8. It’s truly an amazing guitar.

How does that stay on a neck stand? Thanks.
I've had no issues getting it to sit comfortably in a typical guitar stand. SOL if you're trying to hang it on a wall though.

Cool guitar, but I've tried a few Strandbergs and the neck is not for me. It feels too unsubstantial and not ergonomic for me. This one sounded nice.

You should check out the Donner Hush Guitar that is headless and compare it to the headless Gibson Corvus. Just for fun.

Despite the cringe name, it’s surprisingly wholesome (as are other shows in the same genre). There aren’t any gender relationships - in fact there aren’t any male characters featured lol. Hope that clarifies things!
That's just what it's called in Japanese. It's a Japan-exclusive model so it doesn't need to make sense in English. People who enjoy the show often joke about how it seems like there's no men in its universe lol.
I tried to get a luthier to do something like this neck for me years ago...he laughed at me.
time signature 10:16 is hilarious
I'm just here for the background music.
Metal Gear Solid 🖤
I would call the neck profile trapezius shape.
You want to see a weird neck check out Torzal basses.
Hi
But does it neck dive?
Nope. It weighs hardly anything and balances pretty much flawlessly.
I am gonna say, Eric Clapton ain't gonna be playing one soon!!!...........✌🏼🎸✍🏼
Something like this would have been played by Allan Holdsworth.....except for the neck maybe.🤔🎸
Totally…but he was a Carvin guy.
@@johnnyxmusic Yes....I also thought that Allan would need a trem.
@@ckelly5141strandie bodens with trems do exist, but this just happens to be a hard tail only model.

Trogly… do you think you could one day check out the actual Gibson Les Paul Alex Lifeson signature?
