Probably the best and most honest Strandberg video on RUclips - well done Leo! I have wanted a Standberg for many years, mainly for the ease of travelling and because of the light weight. In fact, I had your exact model in my checkout basket on the Strandberg website for quite a few months because I believe that the titanium model looks wonderful and all the other Strandberg models/colours seem to me better suited to metal or fusion players. In the end I didn't buy the guitar because for me it's too expensive. If it was €1000 cheaper, I would buy it instantly.
Grazie per l'approfondimento Leo. Sempre super chiaro e dettagliato. Capitolo a parte la song di apertura...ti sei superato.... È qualcosa di meraviglioso! Ciao!
Grazie a te! Mi va piacere che ti sia piaciuta la musica ed il tuo è veramente un super complimento! ... ti confesso che anche a me piace molto la song che ne è uscita...ormai ce l'ho in testa da diversi giorni...😊...non vedevo l'ora di condividerla! Grazie ancora!
Superb playing Leo! The guitar seems very versatile and would actually work for just about any style music…vintage sounds as well as modern…finally, something really new in guitar design.
Thank you Leo, what a beautiful instrument! I hope you have many years for joy with it! It was really interesting to hear your thoughts on how you went with its voice rather than fighting it trying to make it something it is not. Thank you for sharing.
@@LeoGibsonGtr Mate, have you ever tries the strandberg fusion but the Korean version (2019 version) ? if the answer is yes, what do you think about it? is it too much difference in compare to this one?
Thank you Andre!!! When you like my music...I'm super happy! I also like the demo song...actually I'm trying to put together some songs of mine and remaster them ... I hope the holidays will be a good period to do it! Thank you so much, your feedback and support is super important for me!!!
Bravo Leo a insistere sui piccoli ma fondamentali particolari qiali l'usabilitá dei potenziometri. A volte questi liutai visionari si scordano che noi li dobbiamo suonare questi strumenti e devono essere ergonomicamente davvero studiati bene per permettere l'esecuzione di svariate tecniche.
Ciao, si concordo...e rimango sempre affascinato da quanto il vecchio Leo Fender abbia creato una strato così perfetta sin dall'inizio... Grazie del messaggio e per i complimenti, che mi fanno molto piacere!
Great demo song as usual. Your playing is always exciting and entertaining. Not a huge fan of the Strandberg design, but I admit the guitar is innovative and pushing the boundaries. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍
Thank you!! I have no word to say thank you for all you great support of the channel and I'm happy you like the song! Yes, this guitar is really innovative and strange...I like it!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Glad to support your channel! You are doing a fantastic job. A selfish request, could you maybe do another video or two showing some love to the POD Go? I bought one recently and love it! Would love to hear your follow up thoughts to compare it with the MG-30 and the other mid priced modellers. 🎸👍
Knob location is very important to me. I moved the volume knob a little on my Strat, as it was in the way when palm muting because it prevented me from being able to easily mute the first 2 strings. I think push/push knobs are a better solution over push/pull knobs. Did you notice any difficulties in getting harmonics across all the strings as we had discussed? It seems like an interesting guitar design with some playing advantages, and some compromises. I'd have to actually play one to determine if the design would work for me or not. It didn't sound all that different to me compared to a standard guitar. Thanks
Hi, yes, also for me knob location is pretty important. For me the harmonics are working pretty well, with no specific difficult...or at least not more difficult than on other guitars. Thank you!
I got a Standberg Classic about 1.5 years ago since it is so easy to travel with and for the ergonomics. I also had to fight with the tone. I changed out the bridge humbucker but still did not get into it that much and played my other guitars more often and the last few months it just sat there without being played. Your video made me pick it up again and to my surprise it sounds great now... strange how that goes, isn't it😄. I do have my Amp VSTs set up much better, so perhaps that made the difference. Besides that, I love the trapezoid Enduro neck though which actually helped me improve my fret-hand positioning. Scale length is really great for smaller hands as well. Really a great guitar, but definitely not everyone's cup-of-tea.
Yes, I totally agree...at the beginning also for me the sound was not right...but than I start understanding better the guitar...an actually now I really like it! Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience and I'm happy that the video makes you rediscover the guitar!!! 👍🏻
Hi Ben, thank you so much, I'm happy you like the video! In my opinion the volume is pretty consistent between the different PU, also if you switch between Single Coils and Humbuckers. Thank you once more!
I just ordered one! So excited! Your video convinced me, best review and fantastic playing, thanks again! Do you find that is stays in tune well with heavy tremelo use? Thanks!
Hi Ben, thank you, I'm really happy you liked the review! Yes, it stays in tune. In my experience the guitar required few days to adapt to the climate where I live, and the tuning adjustments (I tune my guitars half step down, in Eb). Tuning half step down I had to adjust the truss road and the action, and then it just stay in tune... Thank you once more!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks for the answer. And what about smooth bends and finger vibrato, are these possible the same as on regular ones? I'm always seem that smooth finger vibrato is not possible on fan frets...
Ciao Leo 😉! Ho preso la Salen Jazz e sono davvero soddisfatto del suono e della suonabilità. Un abbraccio! ruclips.net/channel/UCQXSvvItz51MKJCldRd9OmQ
Ciao Francesco!!! Eh si, la Salen ispira parecchio anche me...un caro saluto ed in bocca al lupo per il tuo canale! By the way, belle canzoni e nice playing nel tuo canale! Ciao
Doesn't really matter...Strandberg just abruptly DISCONTINUED this and the Neck-thru Fusion MF line...I'm PISSED! I've been waiting 5 F'n months on my Fusion Neck-thru order from Sweetwater with the new MF pickups... Strandberg just notified EVERYONE TODAY..."sorry...no mas...discontinuing a bunch of our super cool neck-thru and others!" Why the F didnt you let us all know earlier??? Spent the day scrambling to grab a lesser MF fusion...got one of the last ones! BAD STRANDBERG...NO COMMUNICATIONS with a bunch of folks who've been PATIENTLY waiting. I have 3 Strandies already...but kinda pissed at this oblique behaviour

Thank you George, I'm really happy that you like the playing! Yes, it's pretty versatile, with a pretty unique voice!

You are welcome! Yes, it has been an interesting journey so far...😊 and yes, it's a very nice instrument!
Thank you for your message!
Thank you very much mate !! it was a very handy video
You are welcome, I'm happy you found the video useful!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Mate, have you ever tries the strandberg fusion but the Korean version (2019 version) ? if the answer is yes, what do you think about it? is it too much difference in compare to this one?
You should absolutely post the intro song on Spotify! This video was so good too!

Hi, yes, I want to do another comparison with Pod Go and other modelers...I mean the 400 to 600 modelers...I think I need 3 to 4 weeks...Thank you!

Rally great demo song!!!
thank you, really appreciated!!!
Good review! Thanks!
thank you Antonio, I’m happy you like it!!’
Great song ala Allman Brothers, superb playing !!! guitar seems to sustain more for legato playing :)
Thank you! Yes, the bridge humbucker is pretty rich and accomplish you legato very well!
Great review.
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the video!
Leo Pleaseeeee make a video with the Mooer Ge300, and its features specially the tone Capture (That will be great)
😊...you are right...I should do it...

just for the algorithm :) great vid!
algorithm support
😊👍🏻 Thank you!!!
Sempre ottimo il pezzo iniziale. 👍
Grazie Fabio, mi fa piacere che ti piaccia!!!
Eccellente lavoro, Leo. (intendo la tua composizione).... sulla chitarra, invece, non nascondo di avere non poche perplessità
Grazie Antonio, mi fa piacere che la musica ti sia piaciuta! Si, capisco...è parecchio strana...
Wow fantastic, great playing! I'm thinking of getting this exact model! Is there much volume difference between the pickup positions? Thanks!
Hi Ben, thank you so much, I'm happy you like the video! In my opinion the volume is pretty consistent between the different PU, also if you switch between Single Coils and Humbuckers.
Thank you once more!
@@LeoGibsonGtr awesome thanks so much! Keep up the great work!
I just ordered one! So excited! Your video convinced me, best review and fantastic playing, thanks again! Do you find that is stays in tune well with heavy tremelo use? Thanks!
Hi Ben, thank you, I'm really happy you liked the review! Yes, it stays in tune.
In my experience the guitar required few days to adapt to the climate where I live, and the tuning adjustments (I tune my guitars half step down, in Eb). Tuning half step down I had to adjust the truss road and the action, and then it just stay in tune...

@@LeoGibsonGtr brilliant thank you so much!
Very nice solo...
Can I ask you a question if you don't mind? Are these fan frets feels well?
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the solo. Yes, they feel well, no problem at all to adapt to the fan frets.
Thank you once more!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks for the answer. And what about smooth bends and finger vibrato, are these possible the same as on regular ones? I'm always seem that smooth finger vibrato is not possible on fan frets...
Hi, I have no problem at all even with vibrato. After few minutes you literally forget that these are fan frets.
In English you can and a sentence with a consonant. Hahahaha I love Italian accents. Just messing with you. A great demo
😀
Ciao Leo , ce l'hai un discord ?
Ciao, purtroppo non ancora...RUclips assorbe già tutto il mio tempo...
Posso chiedere che contenuti vorresti su Discord?
Grazie del messaggio!!!
Was the guitar manufactured in Sweden or Indonesia?
Hi, Indonesia.
Thank you for your question!

Best playing, and worst sounding, electric guitars.
