You shouldn’t run out of any play with the “fine” tuner the person who last changed the strings likely left too much slack. Just pull that string thru with a little more tension to start. IIRC. I could be getting my headless mixed up but I don’t remember too much deviation from the setups.
I have a handful of these and just got 2 OG 80s Steinbergs in recently. Those were fun to mess with. They sounded surprisingly killer and they came with 80s Duncan Custom Customs . But the Strandbergs feel pretty nice too despite that neck shape. Can’t say I jammed the hell out of em. But felt fine. IF I had to pick one, I would take the OG Steinberger. Congrats tho. The shape doesn’t offend me one way or another
Thanks dood! My bass player has a headless Ibanez 6 string bass and was expressing the same thing that it’s probably just how it was strung up and gave some advice
I actually have no idea how to restring this thing so I better watch some videos here soon lol

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to switch between the Strandberg neck and standard C-necks without it feeling really weird. But the only time I even notice the Strandberg neck is when I'm playing ringing chords (G, C, D, etc) where I tend to grip the neck more. But on barre chords and lead runs, the neck just guides you to the right place. It's a really cool design.
I've also been very impressed with the pickups. They sound great clean, they split well, and they can handle all the brootz (is that still a word?) lol
Yeah honestly even though it’s like insanely different I feel 0 adjustment issues. Very comfy. Personally I don’t feel like it inhibits or changes first position/thumb over/ cowboy chords or anything. Feels mighty comfy to grip right around the trapezoid in any manner lol. I’ve read so many comments that the neck “forces you to play classics style” and now I know that is complete bollocks
Does yours have the Suhr pickups or the OEM ones? I’ve got the sihrs in here and love them and all the tone options the switch offers. I think the OEMs are supposed to sound pretty much like the Suhrs

Hell yeah man. That's awesome. Hah I hadn't thought about Strandberg in forever until a few months ago I saw a Sälen NX Jazz and despite myself, kind of dig it. And with the Suhr pickups they actually seem kind of awesome. If I hadn't bought some big shit towards the end of 2024 I might seriously be thinking about getting one too.

Enjoy it!
Thanks dude!! It’s really sweet. The Salens look badass too
I honestly still maybe have some objections with how they price these with where they’re made, but at the same time this feels substantially higher quality than any other cortek built instrument I’ve owned/played so maybe they aren’t overpriced after all
I feel like it’s punching in the same weight class as my USA PRS/Gibson which I’m kind of shocked to say
I would not say the same thing about the SE silver sky (that I recently sold) that was also built by cortek Indonesia
