Strandberg Boden True Temperament

[beaubrummels]

This is a long shot, but has anyone ever played a Strandberg True Temperament guitar?

Does the 'perfect pitch' sound better? Or sound 'wrong', after years of typical guitars?
How's the neck and feel of the odd frets? Any trip ups playing solos/leads? Chords easy? Or do you have to retrain your hands to play just this one guitar?
Does the guitar itself sound 'good'? Only suited for certain music? Or versatile? Did you immediately want to swap pickups, or was it a keeper?

I'm talking about one of these:

What I’ve heard about true temperament is it’s awesome, until you mix with other non TT instruments. Then things may sound weird.

I can give you first hand experience on fanned frets/multi scale being fantastic. My 8 string goes 25.5-27.5, and I love it. If you looked in the mirror while playing it may be weird, but feels totally natural.

I have! I don't think my ears are sensitive enough to hear the difference, though. As was said, I wonder how it mixes with non-TT instruments. The frets weren't weird to get used to, though. Much weirder was the strange neck Strandberg insists on using.

Looks like it would solve the G string issue. I'd love to try one but I'm sure that it's far above my pay grade.

I feel like it must be weird trying to bend on those wiggly frets . . . it would making the bent pitch very hard to control.

It is actually not that hard to bend strings. I didn't try it with a band, so I don't know how out-of-tune it is with other guitars or bass. I found the back of the neck harder to get used to than the front.

Hmm, think I would need a floating-vibrato version and rely on pulling up for bends.
