The EndurNeck™

The EndurNeck™ is a patented neck profile that provides many benefits:

    • By utilizing flat surfaces rather than a round profile, it provides a more restful grip for the thumb
    • Your hand is much stronger when gripping something thick than when gripping something thin, and the EndurNeck™ uses this fact in its design.
    • Due to the way that it is designed, it is experienced as comfortable whether you are used to a thick or thin neck
    • Chord playing at the far end of the neck is made easier
    • Soloing and fret access in general at the near end of the neck is made easier
    • The curved rear section and the angles of the surfaces interact to encourage a more correct playing position and a straighter wrist

– The result is less stress on muscles, joints and tendons, which lets you play more relaxed, with less fatigue, which results in less risk of injury and better playing

The EndurNeck was invented by Ola Strandberg and is featured exclusively on .strandberg* instruments.
