Pea Turgh Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 They are cool looking instruments. You’d have to be an awesome player to have something so striking. Which rules me out! 1 Quote
Muzz Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I'm sure they're very well made (which puts them in company with a lot of luthiers out there - 'the finest'? Hmmmm...), but personally I wouldn't be seen dead with one. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 It looks to me as if several design decisions were made not for practical or aestheic reasons, but to be different. Nothing wrong with that if it floats your boat, but not for me. Quote
ead Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Some cool stuff, as well as some things I'm less keen on. But in a world of endless Fender clones shouldn't we celebrate diversity just a little bit? 2 Quote
Cato Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I like it. I've liked versions they've done with plainer wood more, but it's still a thing of beauty. Edited March 21, 2020 by Cato Quote

Hellzero Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I had a Stradi Symphony 5 fretless. Nice sounding, but awfully way too round neck. Some youth flaws in the design like neck diving and an E tuner not aligned. The bass was not really ergonomical. The piezo was certainly not the best one too. And the brand name is a bit ... ambitious. Quote
Maude Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Bazgidarz! Beautiful pieces of art and I do appreciate that companies aren't just doing fender clones, but not for me. Quote
