ORIGINAL SERIES

The original design, refined and perfected

Chambered Swamp Ash body with Maple top 

This combination of wood and construction creates a notably resonant instrument with fast attack and a great deal of energy in the high midrange/lower treble frequencies. A character that lends itself well to all situations that benefit from absolute note clarity and a direct, unobstructed responsiveness between fingers and instrument. 

Birdseye Maple Fretboard 

The fretboard is a part of a guitar that influences not only its tone, but also its feel and visual character in no small way, as Maple is a classic tonewood known for rugged stability, fast tonal response, and classic beauty all at once. The Birdseye Maple fretboards of the Original series guitars contribute to their striking natural appearance, and their smooth playing feel and fast note tracking as well. 

Multiscale design 

Each Original series guitar features a multiscale configuration perfectly adapted to its respective string count, string gauges, and tonal range. Multiscale instruments provide a more even string-to-string tension and tone compared to conventional scale arrangements while also enhancing playability and feel.

Origin 

The Original series instruments represent the founding design as it was first realized, even before the first serial produced .strandberg* guitars. These guitars have since gone through several stages of refinement to perfect their ergonomics and tone but have steadily remained the backbone of the .strandberg* arsenal. Their character is pure with an appearance that displays the natural beauty of the materials from which they are made, and their tone is light, clear, and very defined. These are the guitars of choice for players desiring the signature benefits of the original .strandberg* design combined with refined looks and signature clarity of tone.

Sound 

The core of the Original series guitars is their chambered Swamp Ash bodies with Maple tops combined with Maple necks and fretboards that produce a tone that is naturally lively with pronounced note clarity and fast response. The proprietary .strandberg* EGS hardware then firmly transfers the strings’ vibrations to the body for robust sustain and strong fundamentals, while the American-made Suhr or Fishman pickups with diverse switching options provide a wide variety of amplified sounds suited for contemporary performers.

Design 

The heart of all .strandberg* instruments lie in their ergonomically designed bodies that ensure low weight, perfect balance, and support for multiple playing positions, combined with the patented trapezoidal EndurNeck neck profile that guides the fretting hand into a more relaxed and efficient playing position. The Original series is the embodiment of these features and also an ambassador for refined natural looks and the signature light and clear sound that all our other instruments derive from.
