"Excellent entry level Strandberg"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

For this being an “entry level” Strandberg, it’s really well built. The fit and finish are perfect. Mine arrived perfectly set up and ready to go right out of the box. My only complaints, albeit minor, are the pickups. They’re a little bit harsh/bright and lack a bit of clarity compared to other passive pickups. It’s definitely a lot of guitar for the price. Lightweight and perfectly balanced. The roasted maple neck feels great and the stainless steel frets feel nice and smooth. The EGS bridge system is smooth and super easy to adjust.
