Strandberg made its name by cutting the headstock off. So why is Ola Strandberg building a guitar with one? In this video from Guitar Summit 2026, he shows us what he’s working on, and explains why even signature artists keep their Strandberg at home when they head out on tour. He also walks us through the new gear, including a Boden Essential that finally has a trem and Plini’s updated N2.
