Singularity 8 True Temperament Blue Blast
Singularity True Temperament takes Per Nilsson’s Singularity model concept to a whole new universe with the revolutionary True Temperament fretting system that has been custom calibrated to our multi-scale lengths, a modified EndurNeck™ shape that is slightly smoother and rounder for an exceptionally fast feel, a striking and singular etched finish in Red Blast for the 7-string and Blue Blast for the 8-string with matching color hardware, and the pulverizing yet musical Lundgren Modern Vintage and M8 angled humbuckers.
Featuring virtually perfect tuning across the entire fretboard, the Singularity True Temperament looks, plays, feels and sounds like no other guitar in the world. Due to the complexities involved in the manufacturing process of the True Temperament models, availability will be limited.
With the revolutionary True Temperament fretting system
The singularity
SINGULARITY DESIGN WITH REVOLUTIONARY FRETTING
All the ergonomic design benefits and the unique sonic characteristics of the Singularity take a giant leap forward with the revolutionary True Temperament fretting system which offers virtually perfect tuning anywhere on the fretboard. Solid American Basswood body with time-tested tone woods, aircraft-grade aluminum hardware, patented EndurNeck™ modified to Per’s specs, and best of class electronics featuring Lundgren pickups meld together with the groundbreaking fretting system into an instrument that has to be heard and felt to be believed.
IMPROVED TUNING THAT MAXIMIZES RESONANCE
The True Temperament fretting system was certainly not designed with visual aesthetics in mind. This is all about getting the best tuning and intonation possible on a guitar. Every note you play on the fretboard sounds more in tune than you’ve heard before but it’s especially noticeable on the chords you play. The “beating” of notes that are not in tune with each other is eliminated, improving the perceived loudness as well as the overall sustain. When you strum a chord, the notes within the chord all seem to bloom together in perfect harmony. Not only will you hear the tuning sweetness in your ears, but you will also feel the instrument resonating in a way you have not experienced before.
CUSTOM CALIBRATED FOR THE SINGULARITY SCALE LENGTHS
The True Temperament fretting system on each of these Singularity models is custom calibrated to the multi-scale lengths of the 7-string (26.25” to 25.5”) and 8-string (28.0” to 26.5”) so you can simultaneously experience the full benefits of both cutting-edge concepts in modern guitar technology. Balanced tension from the lowest to the highest strings and a more ergonomic spread of the scale lengths are coupled with the most advanced tuning system to offer a truly exceptional and unmatched playing experience – both physically and aurally. See, feel and hear how far you can take your playing and music with all the benefits that the Singularity True Temperament offers.

The Singularity True Temperament Concept
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.
Artist Profiles
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.
