I love the rant on the aesthetics...and then "I played it and it is really great!" It just proves the point that guitar players listen and think with their eyes more than their brains, fingers and ears. I get that it needs to look appealing, but many people like headless guitars (looks and ergonomics) and they aren't something new (Steinberger did it long ago). The funny thing is that other brands saw the impact Strandberg was having and started making headless models (Ibanez, Kiesel, etc.). That is the point - innovation moves the product and the market forward. No one wants to buy new cars with giant fins on the back and gigantic chrome bumpers any longer. If you want to see even more innovation, look at the Abasi Concepts guitars - very cool, forward-thinking stuff. You have to shed the Luddite attitude!

I've got this same model guitar in the same color. Love the pickups and really love the roasted maple neck. Also bought the LE Player Tele with the CS Nocaster pickups and a roasted maple neck, which is my profile pic.

Doing this to my LP Jr DC. Just the gut cut. Gonna paint colourful stripes on the cut and clear over it.

Very interesting process. But I don’t see how this is easier than starting with a block of wood Edit: really phenomenal build. Inspires me to continue on my acoustasonic build

try a Jericho explorer

Great video thanks for the quick learning tips

Is finally someone said it!!! The Swedish are great engineers but one thing they are NOT is artists, Strandberg Guitars are designed entirely around functionality Their guitar bodies look like some trash modern art exhibit that's going for millions of dollars

Tone wise I didn't find a significant difference. I've actually been using D'Addario NYXLs lately because they last so much longer. Maybe the paradigms last longer too?

What is the volume pot value 250 or 500?

Chapberg!

Wow are you still going to see this comment? Brass or tusks, the high E string is the place needed for loudness and sustain, and what about a stainless zero nut or brass? Brass bridge? Makes me think of the telecaster bright tone, what about a fixed tusk’s bridge? I know but what the hell we have our whole life to do this once done it last forever here right, you could give future guitarist the best knowledge ever needed tone is the shizz of the og’s so many combinations, endless

Try not playing the epiphone sloppy.

Get a Strat!

When you die the top next time, watch some PRS factory videos. They soak the top with colorless solvent first. This way the top does not absorb so much die and is not so dark. Second thing - the color is more consistent. It also helps much when you do some gradient stuff, because it allows the colors to blend in a stable way. In short words - the top must be wet enough when you work on it. If you die the top dry, the paint will just stop where it was. The problem with dying the wood is that is have some areas that takes a lot of the paint and when you firstly fill it with solvent, it will still allow the paint to soak but just not as much. You will clearly see the difference.

Would be a no brainer if they had not decided to ruin the top, especially near the pickup. If that would look relic, I could accept, but it doesn't, at all. It looks like a really bad paint job ir. Too bad.

Both bloody good! Ok you could probably match them via changing height of the pickup themselves

There is spray graphite available which might help you. Sometimes to trace I like to do a light spray like a stencil on the corners and just wipe it off whatever im tracing since its dry, but it would be pretty easy to just spray it on tissue paper.

Beautiful paint job and color. Beautimous

I have the opposite desire. I want a Strat without a belly or forearm contour.

Preferred Guitar 2 (Nocaster) with drive, more midrange bite.

Ripping off others hard work and years of innovations..... dooooooooooshy

That’s my guitar !!!

Use Alodyne to prepare the back of an aluminium bridge. Just file off the oxyde with sandpaper and treat it. It keeps it conductive. Aerospace stuff.

Yeah, buzz problem here too. Be aware of it when buying. Hopefully the PLEK machine will fix it.

My squier strat affinity has good tuners, no need for any upgrade. I changed the nut to a bone nut. Mine is from 99 made in Yuka (taiwan) and its neck is just right for my hands (compared to some much more expensive guitars. Cheap guitars can be quite nice!

Squirrel!

Who else was baited into thinking the guy on the bottom was gonna play guitar on it and it just was talking and a muted video😅❤

The problem with "Gibson" switches is that the massive knob stands so high up off the body. A guitar that would otherwise fit in a lot of cases won't if it has that one problem. Blade switches are a nightmare to route for, though. One option would be using a plate of some sort. Life from an Ibanez S or a Jaguar.

Quality mate, just quality. You've done a fantastic job there!

Is this better than the Line 6 POD GO? There is a huge Line 6 community that we share/ buy presets. I wonder if Valeton has that huge fan base. I kinda like the XLR so I don't need to go to a DI Box during our Worship / Church live band.

Yes, covers soften and mute tone.

Really nice-looking Affinity...

i love the enthusiasm you have ,any tweeks or mods to find a more versatile instrument is worth the effort, iv`e just fitted a four way toggle and treble bleed on my own and a convention defying bridge pan with SIX saddles because its essential to intonate ANY guitar accurately..........😇👍

Bullshit, had to replace the turners , truss rod didnt work and not worth the money. Just shut up and get a real one ! Losers !

Is he gearing up to make good on the Chappers Challenge finally?

I'm not a metal guy but that's a pretty dope build 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I noticed you are wasting my time.

Can you put an IR on the XLR output and still send no cab sound to 1/4 output for power amp/cab?

How do you rate the Irongear pickups?

17:12 "Aluminum isn't that conductive" Bloody good thing you're not an electrician......

Full blend is the bees knees on an HSH, & perhaps switch that treble bleed so you can still use a classic fuzz face

what’s next try making a humbucker look like a single coil in disguise 😂

Brilliant review this. None of the usual spiel! Thank you mate. Subscribed!

At 17:13 you say that Aluminium is not a good conductor. Nonsense. Aluminium is an excellent conductor of electricity, and heat !!! Copper, and Aluminium are the two most common materials used for wires, and cables.

This wasn't a comparison, just a " I prefer roasted " with not much explanation. You don't seem too familiar with it to be honest. It's like an intro. Also it's a cheaper method, that's important to know when buying a product, it's not THE feature one should focus on...it's the overall finish. Roasted wood is a method used to speed up the natural process of the wood drying. Which takes years and years. A manufacturer could use the cheapest young wood and bake it. It also makes it more brittle. I wouldn't trust Harley Benton that much for the long term, while others may use decent wood to begin with. My point is : it is not "superior" all by itself.

If you want a headstock get an Abasi concepts emi 6.

Brave men! Congratulations!!!

That’s sick bruh. Better than the original

nice finish i think it would look better fully gloss

Are the presets available..great vid
