I Want a Headless

Can't help but worry about this GOC. There's a lot of people like them but is it the guitar they love? Or the bargain?

Maybe I'm just freaking because it's coming from AliExpress.

Who, by the way, send me about three tracking updates a day, without context.
Ew, it ships through AliExpress? Fuuuuuucccckkk that.

Yep. That's why my spidey sense is tingling.

I know it's just a stop gap 'til I get a sweet, sweet Aristides, but that's months away even if I ordered right now.

Yeah I honestly don’t know what to do. I might actually see what my SW guy can do on a *gulp* Strandberg.

If you get to look over the Strandberg it’s not risky.
These aren’t quite as expensive relatively as they were. They start to look like a better deal. Unless you wait for something to turn up second hand.

I'd have my SW guy actually look at the specific serial, and pick that way. I've known him for 10+ years, before he even worked at Sweetwater, so I trust him.
 
Strandbergs are pretty tricky to try in person it seems... even in a bigger city. There's no where to try one in person in the whole of Colorado unless you happen upon a used one somewhere :idk

Chicago GC’s have them. The one had like four different types, which is cool. Unfortunately they’ve got them locked down, so you have to find a somewhat imaginary employee.
 
Only place I ever saw a Strandberg in person was in the window of a guitar shop in Gotenberg and I'm kicking myself for not going in and trying it.
 
I stumbled onto another used Strandberg in the wild a couple weeks ago, and just like the other two I played, the notes rang out so clear and perfect and it played really well. Honestly I may need to try and find one.

If I traveled more than once every couple years I'd definitely get one.
 
I should have my GOC on Tuesday. It arrived in Dublin on Friday morning.

Unfortunately with bank holiday Monday it won't be tomorrow.
 
Won't be home for a few hours but other half says it's super light.
