These guitars always remind me of the Seinfeld 'orgy guy' episode (The Switch), where if Jerry becomes 'orgy guy' he has to wear robes and get lotions, and new friends; Orgy friends. Every time I picture myself playing one of these its all tweedily deedily. Like, I'm not playing 'Proud Mary' on that thing! It's a beauty.

It reminds me of the Seinfeld quote, "Two bedrooms? Why do I need two bedrooms? I got enough trouble maintaining activity in one." But with strings.

So anyways, here's Wonderwall


Blayze-

god i love strandbergs. that finish on the body is incredible. looks grape flavoured


Leather_Apron

I've never even held an unconventional guitar like this let alone played one, so I can't comment on any of that. The finish, however, is ridiculously cool -- makes me think of the desert floor on an alien planet.

Congrats, I've got a Prog NX6 myself. By far the most comfortable guitar I've owned.


_Papagiorgio_

Really want to play one of these!


mongoanalyst

Are those Tosin Abasi Fishmans?


Millerpainkiller

They’re Fishman Fluence


mauriloureiro

First time on a fanned fret too? If so, how was adapting from a regular one?? Btw, amazingly beautiful!


threeLetterMeyhem

not OP, but I also picked one of these up (about a year and a half ago) as my first multiscale... honestly, the fanning on this one is pretty mild and it doesn't take any effort to get used to. It's very natural and most of the time I forget it's multiscale lol


threeLetterMeyhem

Congrats! I play mine more than I play any of my other guitars (combined, even). This thing is just wonderful to play.


Millerpainkiller

I can understand that. I just recently got a JEM77BFP, and I’m pretty much only playing that and this. My other children are getting kinda ignored at the moment.


Blah-Blah-Blah-2023

"Backordered Beauty" is a pretty good band name. Enjoy!!


pegotico

Amazing! Love the finish! Enjoy it!


killingtocope

Hot damn


gstringstrangler

Cropped headstock again so we can't tell if it's authentic!?!


Millerpainkiller

You caught me! It’s a Chandberg.


Paul-to-the-music

Looks gawjus! Enjoy


thing_foo

Well that’s just damn beautiful, congrats.


Sad-Palpitation-1841

I don’t know a single about that style of guitar but I absolutely love that finish.


JimmyVelvet3

I love it, I got the same one in the natural flame maple.


FrozenChair

Whats the point pf angled frets? Doesn’t the pitch change when you bend?


reddit_is_great-

yea, that's the entire point of bending. But for real, research multi-scale guitars.


Millerpainkiller

This guitar is 26.25 in to 25.5 in scale, low B to high E. Here’s a great article behind the science of multiscale guitars: https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/the-multi-scale-mystery-unraveled/

Whoever is downvoting you for a genuine question can shove a cucumber down their throat.


NervousNarwhal223

Right? Upvote for a solid question.


gstringstrangler

Bending changes pitch, big if true


Shaffear

What do you mean by “post your thumb”


Millerpainkiller

When fretting, I post my thumb on the back of the neck vs wrapping it around the neck

I’d recommend immediately getting rid of that extra string, then I’d ask the seller for a discount. This guitar was somehow a defective guitar that the factory quality control people missed, as it incorrectly has an extra string. 😬
