Comment on .carbonFiber Reinforced Neck* by Ola Strandberg

Hi Alex,
yes, I will keep the CF intact. And, I will have an adjustable truss rod, since I believe different players will want different action, and different string gaugues and climates will require it (assuming it is not 100% stiff…) The plan is to use a Martin-style box rod, which is made of aluminum and should be lighter than a regular double-action rod.

If anything, I think hollowing out the neck will make it respond faster. Time will tell… My current trapezoidal neck is quite hollow due to the CF tube (inner diam 12 mm) and works very well.

That’s a brilliant idea laminating that way. Will you keep the carbon intact when hollowing out the neck. Btw, do you expect the hollow neck to do anything to the sound? And, will it have a truss rod?

I am eager to know, so I am looking forward to the update.

It’s great to see this string lock in the fitting process. I remember the morning when you woke with the concept in your head, sketch in hand and a big smile. Very nice and an elegant companion to your bridges.

Hi! The red looks great. What about left handed versions? I’d asked this question at the development stage too…are those on the anvil anytime soon? Thanks!

Very cool! I’ve been following your work for a while now and just keep getting more and more excited about it. I’m looking to get more involved in my luthier work and, ever since discovering your bridges, have been integrating them into all my designs. Its great to see that you’re adding more and more options as time goes by. Thanks for all your work!

Hi Sam,
Thanks for your comment. The modular string locks I have available (also pictured above) are intended to be used in conjunction with a zero fret or regular nut. Their design allow you to use mixed scales and any number of strings for maximum flexibility.

I hope to have the 7-string tremolo available soon.

Cheers,
Ola

That 7 string version looks superb! I’m glad to see that I may be able to swap out the Floyd on my 7 soon with one of your wonderful bridges.

Are you going to be providing your string nut as well soon? That would be wonderful.

I totally agree with you about Moses - Steve’s a great guy and the quality of his work is excellent.
