Frequently Asked Questions

The Meranti body provides a slightly more compressed and focused tone compared to the more open resonance you'd find in a mahogany body.
It takes a bit of getting used to, but Strandberg’s EGS hardware simplifies the process; you’ll need a specific wrench, which is usually included.
It's more of a novelty than a practical feature; the glow is subtle and doesn't replace proper stage lighting.
