A musical instrument of the highest caliber for the true tone connoisseurs and collectors alike

The J Artisan Series

What makes it special?

The ‘J Artisan’ instruments are the results of a long collaboration between Ola Strandberg and legendary Japanese master builder Nick “Sugi” Sugimoto. From the same hands as the sought-after ‘J Custom’ and ‘Master Artist’ .strandberg* guitars, the ‘J Artisan’ series is an exclusive one-year run of the finest .strandberg* guitars featuring the highest-grade woods, premium hardware, premium electronics, and the epitome of craftsmanship to represent the pinnacle of the .strandberg* design.

What does it do?

The goal of the ‘J Artisan’ was to push the limits in the realm of the ultra-high-end instruments for the tone connoisseurs and collectors who seek the very best in materials and workmanship. Exquisite and exotic woods provide not only alluring visual beauty, but also complex acoustic characteristics not typically found in mass production instruments. The result is an instrument that imparts a sophisticated and more woody feel, natural acoustic tonal character, and fast and smooth playability. The Suhr™ SSH+/SSV pickups perfectly complement the organic tonal character and represent some of the best pickups in the industry.

Who is it for?

The J Artisan instruments are for the forward-thinking musicians, tone connoisseurs, and collectors of fine instruments who seek the very best in materials, workmanship, playability, and sound. These guitars are for those who want to experience what a .strandberg* can be without limits. Simply put, the J Artisan guitars are for those who want to own and play the highest-quality .strandberg* guitars possible and experience their sublime aesthetic beauty, exceptional playability, and unique sonic character.

The neck is constructed of Wenge with Purple Heart fillets for beauty and rock-solid stability and has an oil finish for a fast and smooth feel as well as improved playability. There are three options for the fretboard: Flame Maple, Wenge, and Ebony – each providing a unique visual and sonic match to the body. The EGS Rev7 6-string fixed bridge with the NX saddles and combined string lock delivers improved tone, tuning stability, and easier maintenance. The complex and rich acoustic characteristics of these instruments are faithfully and musically conveyed to your amplification systems by a set of Suhr™ SSH+ Bridge and SSV Neck Humbucker pickups with push-pull volume pot for coil-tap and superb tonal versatility. All J Artisan guitars are packed and delivered in the heavily padded Deluxe Gig Bag for protection as well as lightweight portability.

Unique Qualities

Anatomy of a Strandberg

There are many design elements and factors that comprise a .strandberg* guitar. Each aspect - from the materials and components used to the ergonomic design features - has been carefully thought out and implemented to produce a guitar that is light weight, easy to play and has a big woody organic sound. Explore these different aspects that set a .strandberg* guitar apart from the rest.

Headless

By removing weight from the headstock, your guitar can be made very light and yet balanced. You can play with greater comfort for longer.

Versatile Body Shape

The body shape provides multiple seated playing positions for maximum comfort and versatility.

Scale Lengths Adapted to You

A multi-scale design allows your wrist to remain relaxed throughout the range of play. A longer scale length for the heavier strings provide better tone, and shorter in the thinner strings better playability.

Patented Neck Profile

Our patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a more correct playing position. The result: you can play longer, faster, better and avoid injury.

Space Age Materials

Our hunt for great tone and low weight led us to using aircraft grade aluminium and carbon fiber for maximum performance.

Proprietary Hardware

The custom .strandberg* hardware is a vital contributor to the tone of the instrument. Lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and tight coupling of components ensure that nothing prevents the strings' vibrations from entering the body.

What our artists say

The extremely talented artists who play .strandberg* guitars have a clear vision of where they want to take their art and how to get there with the instruments they play. The guitar they choose to play is a statement of who they are as an artist and a reflection of the music they create. Find out why some of the most cutting-edge players in the world today choose a .strandberg*.
