RE: Something completely new to me...

That looks great. I love the look of the neck. I had a little play on a Strandberg at a show and it was a bit different. The best neck shape depends on how you play. There's a big difference between thumb being planted on the back and having it wrapped around the neck.

Sort:  

The neck is just too strange for most traditional players, but there is some logic/science to it... granted, if you wrap your hand around in a Hendrix Style, let's say, you might find it working against you.

I don't think I've played enough Strandbergs in my life to get used to the necks... but I could see it happening.

We can't expect one type of guitar to suit everyone and some styles benefit from more radical features. That's why we always need more guitars :)
