Have you played a Ibanez QX54 or QX52 yet? They are headless with “slanted” frets which are at an 8 degree angle. They can help ergonomically for tappers as you don’t need to angle your taping wrist as much.
@@TorySlusher ya the body/neck are likely better. I would get one if they offered a maple or ebony fretboard. Rosewood is too dry and hard to clean for my tastes
The introduction was awesome; thanks for forcing me to do what I wanted to do anyway, now I can justify it as a way to avoid being lonely and also being executed! 😮
35 minutes improvising all kind of styles without any hesitation. Improvisation seems to be a second nature for you. So easy and smooth. Perfect timing and most clean playing all the time. Your musicality and skils are ridicilous. So high level. Just keep doing what you are doing, and it`s only matter of time when you will be top youtubers here. Oh, and Strandberg sounds great too😁👍
@@smilevrsac Agree! But Guthrie Govan and Matteo Mancuso were first "youtube stars". How many of us found them from TH-cam? And look where they are now. I hope that Rick Beato would find these vids. It would be breakthrough.
@@perttutarvainenp-tunes6924just for saying Guthrie wrotes tons of articles for Total Guitar plus two books and toured hard as sessionman before TH-cam and Matteo's father it's a session guitarist too. But I have to admit TH-cam is a very plus in career. Anyway we talking about peoples who has a great talent and practice a lot (Tory is in the party!). W Music and guitar!... And TH-cam.
First of all, I love your sense of humor and it keeps things interesting for those of us that just love to listen to music and watch videos, but aren't heavy into music theory or the technical aspect of guitars. But this review is great like how you didn't get into all the mind numbing specs but just played the guitar showing the different pickup sounds. Thank you for that and can't wait to see more videos with this guitar.
It’s so awesome how you play the guitar like it’s a piano. Really opens up the instrument with two hands playing notes. So much more you can do with it, the possibilities are almost endless.
This is one of the things that I find really inspiring and why I love this video and have subscribed. Even thinking of the guitar in a piano like dynamic as a non-tapper I am very inspired here.
This is by far in my opinion the best review/playing I’ve ever seen so far of this guitar. I tried this model a couple of months ago and couldn’t stop thinking about getting one, it really feels/sounds great. You’re such a killing guitarist, it inspires listening to you playing, congrats.
like, only a few dozen were squashed via tennis shoe but hey, that's what happens when you get famous! That low triad really did sound like a piano. lots of sustain but it had a midrange bark in there that made it sound really cool. 9:29 I have noticed in many ad lib jams of yours that sometimes... you go BEYOND the downbeat with your solo and then hit the chord on say 2 instead of 1. That's a pretty sneaky? way to keep your time going and your chord going in case you do go over the bar length and into the next bar. Or you will do 1.5 instead of 2. The and of 1, iow. I can comprehend MOST of what you are doing but I can't do it! hahha I know more than I can do on the fretboard but then I spent my time playing rock and metal and so on. It's cool to see you play jazzy stuff but otherwise I never get to moved by much of it. Very nice tones and very amazing playing as always!!
I was doubled up with laughter at the beginning of this video. I love your sense of humour. I'd better start saving $$$ before I'm executed. You are in a class all your own and the distinctive, extraordinary, and unique way in which you play along with your astounding facility, technique, and knowledge never fails to astonish me.
It seemed appropriate and more entertaining than my endless gushing... But in all seriousness, this is a great instrument for a variety of different applications. I know a lot of people tend to just play metal music with strandbergs, but that's kind of gauche....imo, and somewhat limited in scope, they're capable of so much more than just playing some low chugging or the typical noodlely lead stuff, do that one sweet picking lick and then add the tap at the top and come back down etc. Ugghhh.....
Yes TORY with a NEW STrandBerg!!! I see what they did to the Bridge, they offset the intonation ajustment allen, it used to be right under the string, now it is just to the side of it, much better, I had to move one of mine on the old style, it was not to bad but this new one would be better. Like you said they come set really Close from the Factory, I got mine used though of Reverb.
The reviews on this channel are real gems 👏 The guitar has an even volume along the entire length of the neck. It also has good sustain. However I think it takes about a month to get the best sound, time to get acquainted with all the nuances of the instrument :)
These new Essentials look pretty unbeatable for $1000. They're so light and ergonomic, and at least based on the youtube videos I've watched the pickups sound really good as well. In fact I think I would prefer a hardtail and straight frets over the fanned frets and possibly tremolos in Strandberg's more expensive guitars. Great playing as always.
Love the pedal steel technique! I got this same Strandberg but I can't stand the pickups. Not sure what it is about them, like focused too much on some frequency, sounds like a wah is on for me.
It's no problem because the biggest secret is spend enough time with your guitar working seriously to develop the kind of relationship Tory has with hers, and then you're not going to sound like her even if you want to anyway. It's like Jaco used to teach; "just look at it; it's all right there", because he couldn't relate to not being able to see the logic of the strings; so obvious to him that it made him a poor teacher, but the greatest bass player!
It just occurred to me how interesting and (?) it must be when you point your musicality at the acoustic (?) I imagine it'd be a whole 'nother woild...
I mean, I know people in the company... Including Ola, so I'm assuming they will see this, I'm sure it's been said before too.... I'll mention something as well.
@@TorySlusher Cool, thanks. The ergonomics and light weight are very attractive, at my age. That bridge looks really good for muting. They do make some left handed models, but I believe that they all have tremolos and fanned frets.
I thought maybe that I would, but now after playing it.... No way.... They're actually pretty great, not at all a cheap solution... They have a very versatile kind of response and sound. It's not heavy-handed or anything, it seems like it's right in the middle between vintage kind of response and output and a more modern thing....
Don’t even care about the Strandberg. (Please, don’t execute me) It’s so nice to just see you play. I laughed halfway through watching you say, “I just want to play faster stuff.” It’s nice to be able to split or phase humbuckers. Even Dirty as you get is just edge and also super clean. Full Jerry Donahue approval on getting thinner strings. Thank you for the music Mistress Tory
First Tory "Rick Rolls" me... And now I have a strong subconscious urge to go buy a Strandberg!... You're a bad influence on me! 🤣 (just kidding !... Keep doing what you do!)
also I was thinking... if you were in a band kind of like the Cramps you would be a millionaire ... you could turn it into something like weather report/ cramps... anyway just a passing thought... !
Neck is Roasted Maple with Rosewood fingerboard. Mine is roasted maple with pau Ferro Salen older model. Yeah the price on these new ones is GREAT!!! And has Straight frets.
Nice playing and a great sounding guitar. I have started slanting the pickups on my guitars like you do... I agree it settles the bottom end out a little. Now if I could just start playing like you do...
I've come to like it, also it's a lot easier to handle physically... You can stand up and play it for a long time, unlike heavier instruments. ... I was just joking of course, I don't really think that you're dumb if you don't like it... This is TH-cam, the negativity is expected. 🤗
@@TorySlusher I know ur dumbing is not literally meant;) its weight is impressive, I admit. When I played it, I could not feel that resonation that comes from an old strat/tele body, that has a kind of motivating impact on d player. But sure, other features of the Strandy motivate players. I obseeved anyways that you tend to use ur tele in your newer vids, Ichika the Japanese 'shorts-player' put down his signature headless (Ibanez) , and none of my followed and liked, loved guitarists use Strandberg. It s not a coincidence..
@@ymelfilm That's because the artists you follow are paid by big companies like Ibanez/ESP to not play Strandberg. Guitar industry is brainwashing musicians not to pick up actually ergonomic instruments.
I have no idea about the options, I got mine from the company. I guess it depends on whether or not you really want to play it sooner or later. I imagine the black sort of goes with everything, fashion wise, so there's that....
With your fire-breathing plunking, the Strandberg commercial is so CUTE it makes me wanna pet you and give you a saucer of cream... ...oh, and thanx Teach (!)
Just got a real look at the back of the neck. Yep my first awareness of it. Im going to put all mine in a vice and twist them in the name of guitar hubris. Excuse my new found WTF.
I like how you put dots on your strandberg... and another strandberg ... but Blue.... yak.... I like the Butterschoch blond single coil....maybe if you put fish on it... little fish.... and lighter strings too... I recently bought a bass ( jack Casady 4 string Epiphone ) and it is so nice, rich deep bass. I have a roland GK 3 pickup and play bass on some tracks of my stuff... anyway one really needs a real bass to record with. also I met this jazz guy who told me about a guy who has his own brand bass and anyway Robert Conti is his name... I want to get into trying to work on jazz style playing... I got a lot to learn... might even get a Conti. ok then nice video you have... I like the Buttersch single coil better than your new one.... but you alway look great with what ever guitar you got...
All those switch positions are so different and it seems to be perfectly intonated. I have a cheap Chinese Strandberg knock-off 7 string guitar. I like it but it’s not in the same league.
Great video. How balanced is it? I know it is an ergonomic guitar and the other models are perfect but this is a newer less expensive model. Also is there space to put the synth pickup behind the bridge pickup. Thanks so much for the review.
It's perfectly balanced. I usually just put the synth pick up on the extended upper back bout area. You kind of have to put a piece of tape over the volume and switch so that you don't accidentally hit it with your arm, but aside from that there's space
I came to learn something and did! Plus this, in many ways, is the best video I have seen on youtube. Easily up there with the finest cat videos! Seriously though, this is a gem of a video. Great playing and review. Many thanks.
They should give you commission, since they are temporarily out of stock in all 3 colors at the moment! You provide so many ideas in short little clips. If someone wanted to study and learn everything you've done just to this early stage of your life they'd have to spend decades and would never get to your level. To me polytonal shredding has a limited application, but it's the thought process behind it, the theory, the nuts and bolts of what to play, that are fascinating and applicable to other instruments. I can't understand why your channel hasn't gotten huge. I guess it's over many people's heads.
Thanks! If they eventually make a left handed version, I will certainly not be able to resist. I have yet to find split coils that I like as much as real singles, though.
Strandberg needs to make a Tory Slusher signature model...!
I Heard That One ☺☺😎👊💯
Agree!
for sure
With aliens on it! I think that would be groovy!
Add my vote for that.
Incredible intro!!! Superb musicality with effortless technique. BRAVO!!!!
Have you played a Ibanez QX54 or QX52 yet? They are headless with “slanted” frets which are at an 8 degree angle. They can help ergonomically for tappers as you don’t need to angle your taping wrist as much.
After playing both, I prefer this guitar to be honest.

I just discovered Tory last week oh my oh my!!
Her playing and tonality make the guitar sounds so fluid and Rich.
And only a $1,000 instrument!!

Holy s***, I'm just learning about that....

If I were stranded on an iceberg.... and had to pick one guitar.... I suppose STRAND-BERG would be the best! no? Okay... Les Paul then. ?
Yes, The branding on that is very unfortunate for those who know G- speak
@@TorySlusher I don't know what G- speak is. I just thought the name sounded like I was stranded on a cold iceberg! hahah
Hello. Your playing is amazing. I’ve never played a strandberg. How does such a neck improve your playing?
Sound, feel, etc

Do you use standard tuning, or another tuning ?
Standard
It just occurred to me how interesting and (?) it must be when
you point your musicality at the acoustic (?)
I imagine it'd be a whole 'nother woild...
I would have to find a really good instrument....
@@TorySlusher Seems like it'd be a whole nother woild...
Maybe an accoustic Bass VI or a baritone (?) ...I ain't seen neither of them I ain't
If someone from Strandberg sees this, I will buy one if you make a left handed version. I really want a fixed bridge and prefer non-fanned frets. 🎸

You sound amazing as usual. Love Strandbergs and it’s the only git I play these days. Weight and ergonomics make it so easy to play for hours.
Right
Where will you be playing live? I’ll pay to see the sets. The flow is amazing.
In the short-term, probably somewhere here in Albuquerque
Are you quoting "just the way you are" at the end of that it could happen to you? 😂😂😂
Not intentionally
I don't understand who you are, how can you play so many styles so well and all with great tones?
