NGD - Strandberg Masvidalien

[Econ]

I got this guitar last week and wanted to give it a try for a few days before posting a review. It is funny how guitar tastes change over time, since I have been a Super Strat user for over 30 years (Kramer, Ibanez, ESP, Jackson, TAG, Suhr) and never thought that I would like this type of guitar. In a nutshell, this guitar ROCKS!!!!!! I cannot believe how effortless it plays. The EndurNeck is addictive. I was a little worried about the upper fret access, but all worries went away after I got the guitar. I spent a lot of time this past weekend playing guitar without feeling tired and the fact that the guitar is so light (5.5lbs) makes this a dream axe to play for my troubled back. The guitar comes with the EMG 57/66 set and I can get all types of tones with these pickups.

I'm seriously thinking about selling some of my other guitars to get another Strandberg. Here is a pic of the guitar in question.

I wanted to get a Boden, but need the tremolo, so the Varberg is my only choice.
