Strandberg Guitars

I love my Kiesel Vader headless guitars, so much I got rid of the rest. It took a bit to get used to not seeing a head stock but man they feel and play wonderful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Just a marvelous guitar. Really beautiful. Definitely worth whatever you paid for it.

I love the Carvin neck joint. Their necks in general are good, but I imagine the 5-piece ones help tremendously with stability, particularly with tung oil finish as opposed to gloss.

(The only issues I had with my DC127 were the neck stability and the Wilky trem. I could never get it set up right, no matter what I did, and changes in temp and humidity affected that guitar more than any other I've owned.)

It's wonderful that they offer gold EVO frets now, too.

Now they need to offer a trem version of the Vader.
 
Next guitar I get will probably be a Boden OS 6 but I figure I'll wait until after NAMM when I should be able to get some hands-on with one.
 
I was this close to buying one yesterday: ||

I decided to wait until I can try one at NAMM because of concern over the enduraneck design.
