Strandberg Standard N2.6T in Electric Fuchsia Metallic
name: Pink Panther
This is my most recent guitar, and my first ARCtilt-equipped Strandberg. I play this one more than any of the other ones now, and that's ok. Stable, clear, crisp, fantastic. I don't think it has gone out of tune since I got it.
I use this mainly on all tracks, as it really is the best one I own.
It is featured on Are You Feeling Good, and Only Time Will Tell.
Strandberg Standard NX6 in Present Green
name: Alien
This was my first Strandberg, and the one that started it all. From the very first note, I knew I had a winner on my hands. I wrote Evergreen on this guitar within 48 hours of getting it. It has been my main recording guitar up until I got the N2 models. It still has my favorite tone out of all of my Strandbergs.
Songs recorded with this guitar are Three, Evergreen, The Void, Echo, and Born To Rise Again.
Strandberg Standard N2.6 in Blue Aura Metallic
name: Iceman
This is my second N2.6 (I had purchased and returned a teal model, and regret returning it). I love this blue aura color, it is so subtle. This is the guitar I go to when I want a hardtail feel for songs performed with the N2.6 tonal characteristics. I do plan on upgrading the pickups and changing out the wiring diagram. I will be installing Tom Anderson H2+ and H1- pickups in it soon.
This guitar is featured on several unfinished tracks you can find on my YouTube channel, such as Vessel, This Is The End, and Only Time Will Tell.
Strandberg Prog NX6 in Black Denim Sunburst
name: Smoky
There's a story behind this one. I did not buy it new. I was one of the first people to get a Shocking Pink RESQ:D models, but I just didn't gel with it (loved the color, tried to get used to HSS, but couldn't). I listed it on Marketplace and within MINUTES I got a message from a guy who had this guitar and wanted to straight trade for the RESQ:D model. I did that right away.
When it arrived, it smelled of cigartte smoke (he was a smoker) so I have named it Smoky. Luckily the smoky smell is gone. Killer tone, and I LOVE the ebonol fretboard.
I recorded Summer Rain with this guitar.
Strandberg Standard N2.6 in Transformative Teal Metallic
name: Greenie
-- no longer have --
This is my first N2.6 I purchased. This specific one had insane mojo, and tone like you would not believe. I loved this guitar more than any other guitar I ever had.....yet it went back to Sweetwater. This had the dreaded 'wolf note' that hit on the g string between frets 8 and 12.....and nothing fixed it. I tried desparately to correct it, but I had no luck. I called back months later to see if it was still available, but it was gone. I was bummed. Whoever got this, minus the wolf note, you got a killer one.
This guitar is featured on The Wonder and the Majesty - Pt II and This Is The End.
