I'm deciding now between adversary and strandberg, but I don't understand Japanese unfortunately (translate seems to be meaningless), can you write some crucial points ?pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls :)
I'm poor Japanese speaker too, so I'll excuse first if there're bad translations. First, Specs of two guitars Strandberg J8 custom(Japan-made guitar with special specs which Strandberg doesn't make usually on their productions like their Korean and Indonesia- made gutiars.) -Ash body -Poplar burl Top -Ebony FB -5-pc Mahogany neck w/ 2 Purpleheart stripes *Lundgren M8C Humbuckers -3-way Selector and two knobs(1V, 1T, Volume is push-pull pot for coil-splitting) -Strandberg hardwares Adversary Keto -1pc Alder body -Quilted Maple top -Roasted Flamed Maple neck and FB -Ebony(he's not sure about this) veneer between neck and FB *Fishman Fluence (altough he didn't mention what exact models, -it seems Fluence Moderns- They are Fluence Tosin Abasi signature sets if his Keto is same with Keto #5 and Keto #6) -5-way Selector and One Volume knob(also push-pull pot, but it's for Fluence's voice changing) -Mera guitar Submarine 3 mod 2 hardwares Both guitars have Fanned 24 stainless frets, but Strandberg also has zero-fret. Second, about pickups. Lundgrens on Strandberg, he thinks they are low-noise/high-output, not quite wide-range pickups, and sounds like for Metal. He prefers EMG 808X than these Lundgrens. He says If he chooses pickup now he thinks he'll not go to Lundgrens. Third, about Bridge(in this case they're tuner too). Strandberg's are not as smooth as the Adversary's submarines.(but he thinks It's not big drawback to strandberg.) He likes more how the submarines work, so is recomendding to try these out. ============================ These are contents up to 7:08. It takes more times I thought(because both English and Japanese are not my native language lol), so I stop here for now, sorry.x`
@@CACA-fn4qx Wow, I'm glad someone has answered, thanks :) I was more interested in features comparison (where the difference matters, like Bridge, as you mentioned) and personal opinion, so that I could make the reasonable decision which one to buy, $3k is not a small amount of money for me yet. But I have ordered Keto a couple of weeks ago, now I have to wait for 5-6 months :)
