It should be noted that this text is an individual user’s view of the Strandberg (.strandberg *) guitar and is not final.

======

For a long time I didn’t use off-the-shelf guitars and relied entirely on homemade guitars.

This is because off-the-shelf guitars
don’t have 100% of the features I wanted, despite the wide selection of guitars produced for general users, custom-made guitars, and low-priced guitars, including enthusiast contracts. Because there was no individual that could exert it.

Exploring the categories in guitar, it’s hard to tell , overnight…lol

There was a discovery of .strandberg * by Ola Strandberg of Sweden 🇸🇪 who is also good at evolving functions, structure, design and business.

In Japan🇯🇵, 400,000 guitars are sold annually, and the number of peripherals, home performances by COVID pandemics, recording equipment, etc. is increasing, and now amateurs and professional musicians who actually perform performances are next. We have entered an era of connecting to a new generation, and it is closely related to the development of the Internet and SNS.

99.99% of guitar players around the world are amateurs, however The guitar is closely related to fashion, establishing a genre and advancing the era while hybridizing. For example, a fusion of Metal and Jazz sounds.

Among the various ways to use the guitar, many manufacturers have emerged that actually catch the hearts of the performers.

The Strandberg guitar, which outputs the sound of the guitar performance in a well-balanced manner, has been devised in terms of more performance, and has a rich lineup of designs that follow it, is ergonomic such as “holding” the guitar and “grasping the neck”. I also paid attention to.

I pursued all kinds of guitar sounds such as acoustic guitar, nylon guitar, rock guitar, jazz guitar, finger style, pick style, MIDI guitar and so on. I enjoyed self-taught techniques in crafts such as disassembling not only the guitar but also the piano, strings, material deterioration, wood, metal, chemicals, tools, etc.

The first point is the ” strings “. The sound quality differs depending on the body, magnetic microphone, air microphone, piezo microphone, etc., but the first theme is the “strings”.

What kind of strings do you use when playing the guitar? This is the most important point.

Next is the pitch.
Guitar voicing continues to evolve with playing methods such as irregular tuning, multi-string guitar, and tapping.

The rest of the three major elements of music are the “duration” of notes.

I have been sponsored by a Swedish 🇸🇪 fishing tackle maker (Abu Galcia, a purveyor to the Swedish royal family), but recently I also chose the Swedish 🇸🇪 product (FX airgun) for airguns in hunting guns. It just happened that Sweden 🇸🇪 existed in my life, but I chose Sweden 🇸🇪 (.strandberg * guitar) as an instrument.

Apologies 🙏. I intended to shorten the introduction (lol)

I realized that it wasn’t a coincidence that I arrived at .strandberg *, but the organization I envisioned.

The structure of 8strings must destroy the structure of the established 6strings guitar. We have to solve the problem of “strings” from all directions.

.strandberg * has added a lineup of Strandberg 8-string guitar strings to D’Addario🇺🇸 to use strings available anywhere in the world.

This meaning is enormous.

The gauge for the .strandberg * 8strings guitar is thinner than that for the 7-string guitar, and only the low-pitched F # string is thickened to “.084”, and the manufacturing structure of this F # string is changed to alloy. Ibanez 8-string model etc. are set up to “.080” etc. In order to keep the pitch and tension balance uniform even with this half drop, we have selected a gauge that is completely different from the 6strings and 7strings guitars, and have evolved to a strength that far exceeds the conventional tensile strength.

The tensile strength of a guitar string is 40 kg, a bass guitar tension 70 kg, and a grand piano tension 2 tons.

Unless this intensity is scientifically dispersed, a uniform pitch cannot be maintained.
