Experienced
Today, the follow-up to my DR Titanium arrived … I’ll make this short for now, and try to be a little more articulate later, after I’ve slept.
First, I’ve never played a seven-string, so I’m working on wrapping my head around that …
Second, with the active Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and sassafras body, the range of tone from this guitar is completely different from the DR.
And that’s just what I was hoping for! Once again, this Strandberg is immaculate in fit and finish. I’m a little overwhelmed with my first moments with this puppy, so for now – I’ll just leave you with a couple pictures. I’m learning that depending on the light, this guitar is mercurial … its appearance is hard to pin down. It’s really just gorgeous in person, which I did not expect from what I had seen online.
I brought J. J. Abrams in for some flare … (this is before I removed the protective plastic on the pickups, and mounted the trem bar)
Note how completely different this shot looks … (plastic gone, trem bar on)
Like the DR, this guitar feels like a precision tool. A keeper. I am completely sold on the Strandbergs.
