Two of my friends had to send their strandburgs back due to quality issues. If I remember right their was fret issues.
I also came across a tech who had mentioned that he ran into a new higher end Ibanez with issues. We both agreed that it would be sad if Ibanez has decided to not put as much effort into qc as they once did.

New design below:
The newer Strandberg bridge still uses Teflon washers, where almost all high quality headless bridges use a series of thrust bearings.

Am I the only one who immediately imagined dropping part 7 and not being able to see it?

Hello Ozoro, I just purchased a Salen Jazz over the weekend. I'm looking forward to learning about jazz guitar on it! What influenced me to buy it was the ergonomic designs. The EndurNeck was designed to decrease the stress on joints, muscles and tendons. I need that! hehehe I do like to practice as much as I can. I'm happy with the overall fit and finish of the guitar. I'll get back to you after spending more time with it. There are a few jazz enthusiasts that use the Salen.
Please check out this nice video:
Hope you get a chance to try one soon!

I’ve had a few high-end Ibanez models recently (Prestige) that sell for around $2000 which had unlevel frets or other quality issues.
the headless thing appeals to me since I have left shoulder issues and the weight and balance are better on a strap.
I’ve tried a Strandberg Standard Boden 3 times. The first one was perfect but I didn’t like the endurneck. Tried again, but the next 2 had seriously unlevel frets.
comments about the tone are correct. These are rock/fusion guitars. The neck pickup is thin and clear. Good for what it is but never going to sound like jazz.
