Thanks for considering the suggestion, Andre. I wonder where this leaves the rest of the Strandberg lineup. This comes at a ~40% discount to the next cheapest Strandberg models, and those models only have 1. brand-name pickups (pointless because the OEMs sound fine) 2. fancier wood (pointless because the audience for these guitars likely aren't cork-sniffers, and their prettier tops are just veneers anyway) 3. multiscale (some might care) 4. Trem option (probably will be added to this lineup later) If anything, I applaud these guys for putting their newest advancements at the lowest-end first. Nobody else does that.

I think the thing to note is that, even on the fanned fret guitars, the low strings only go up to 25.5" scale length. So if you plan to use this thing for metal, it should be perfectly fine with something like 10-52 gauge strings.

But it is another of the aspects, like the fanned frets, that are probably much less of an issue for a 6-string. Roasted maple and a truss rod, as well as the fact that the endurneck is a proper chunk of wood, should be very stable.

About the Strandberg multitool, I had recently asked Strandberg support about getting a new one and they did send it for free as they have been for others, but it was also an improved multitool. With the exception of the end that just fits into the tuners to turn them easier, every single end now made out of metal which alleviates the problem I encountered with my old one!

I have a Zeus 24.75, and that axe just sings. Plus, there's always the option to have one made with a 25.5 scale if needed along with a slew of other options - including color, wood type, finish, and trem bridge to mention a few. IMO, the Kiesel Hipshot headpiece is more ergonomic and esthetic than the Strandberg which I could never get used to. As if that's not enough, one can also custom order other body styles than the single-cut Zeus, like the double-cut Vader, Osiris, or Delos.

i used to own a strandberg and was stoked when the essential came out as it addressed the zero fret / nut and fan fret issues I had with it. However, I would prefer a premium option like with a wood top like the plini with similar specs over a budget one. Although, I have kind of soured on headless guitars in general as the hardware is prone to break and it would be difficult to replace years later. It just also has a very prog aesthetic.

Hey Andre! I have two strands, and I've had plinking sounds when I was bending. Sometimes, it can definitely be the zero fret, but both mine were new from the factory. What I had found was that the saddles themselves had little burrs in them that the string was getting caught on. Annoying, but I was able to fix it with a little elbow grease and an exacto (not the ideal tool for the job at all, but it worked.. eventually). I had isolated the string at the nut and at the bridge, and bent it, listening for what end was making pinging sounds. Just a heads up for others who might have this issue.

The key to zero fret maintenance is to start early. Plinkers can be sanded & polished away. Strandberg's zero fret is slightly taller and it will function so long as it is as least as high as the other frets. For stainless steel, that will take a while.

Soon after seeing model @NAMM 2024 I wrote to Strandberg asking if they’d release a trem’d version of this guitar. The reply was basically a friendly “no plans at this time but keep your eyes open”. I can’t be the only one who’s asked this of them. Got a used Boden Strandberg off Reverb and it was a GREAT guitar in every way except for the fanned frets which were a no-go so I sold it. If they made the above instrument with a trem I’d get it tomorrow.

Great review. I think these look great. How do we get you one of those Tim Miller Kiesels to review next? ;)

Great video as always. Have you had the chance to try a Mayones Hydra? I own 3 and they're just amazing. Recently sold a Strandberg Plini Sälen in order to finance the last Mayones. Although the endurneck felt great, the construction itself seemed of much lower quality compared to the Mayones. Plus their bridge just didn't sit well with me. Cheers and keep up the videos!

Finally... The Boden essential review 😭 Also I think the fretwire is the same as many cheap guitars like Harley benton (I think this fretwire comes from the 'blacksmith' line iirc)

How does “blacksmith line” stainless steel compare to normal nickel, and higher end stainless steel frets?

I'm very happy with my boden essential - curious if you will end up swapping the pickups over time on this one vs the other strandbergs you've had. It's not my favorite guitar but it's my most played guitar already, and I think if I could get some PRS 85/15's in there it might end up being my favorite.

I wanted a Strandberg to save space and weight and this new series might be the one. They are so expensive but this one might do the trick if I decide to sell the one im using now for one of those...

I'd be super interested to see your take on the Ibanez QX line. Mostly your take on the frets. The body shape is not as good as Strandberg, but I'm really curious as to the uniformly angled frets.

Great review. I know you've mentioned the Sälen NX Tremolo before, would you have visually preferred the Sälen shape?

hello, Nice video. I'm thinking about getting the new, lower price Strandberg for my Jazz studies. I would like to get out of the traditional style guitars (which I have several) and try something different. But, I was wondering what amp you're using and the tone settings. The tone you get on this video around 7:55 is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks

Great review. Have you ever considered changing your your picking/right hand approach?

I have, but I can do everything I want to do with the technique, and when I tried in the past it actually hurt my thumb. so I haven’t found a good reason to.

Things is if they ever make a Salen tele essential I will most likely preorder it. The essential were actually what click it for me from them.

you know your the only person to actually tell me it doesn't have a zero fret. I think I'm sold. there's 4 in stock at Andertons for delivery tomorrow. I think you pushed me over the edge.

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the Ibanez q52 series. Those played wonderfully for me, but I know it doesn't have all the cuts like a strandberg does.

Wtf I was binging your Strandberg videos this week because I was bored so when I saw this video I thought it was just another video from that playlist. I only went to the description to get the link to the guitar and saw this was posted today??

This seems like they watched the old review and fixed everything, then made the guitar more affordable while also making it less eye-crossingly niche. I appreciate the engineering and marketing thoughtfulness, and i suspect this is going to keep the manufacturer bankrolled for future innovations. Nice.
