Strandberg Varberg J 6 Amber Haze
DESCRIPTION
The Varberg entered the scene in 2013 and has become one of the most sought-after models in the historical lineup of .strandberg* Guitars. Inspired by the silhouette of the windsurfing sails that can be seen on the coast of Varberg in southwest Sweden, this legendary model offers a unique aesthetic and sonic profile courtesy of its layered construction of complementary select tonewoods. The Alder/Mahogany/Maple body combined with the Wenge/Purpleheart neck and Rosewood fretboard makes for a complex and responsive sonic character complemented with the EGS Rev7 hardware for solid dependability and American-made Suhr SSH+/SSV pickups for time-tested quality tone with an edge. The Varberg J 6 Natural marks the return of a mythical guitar for demanding players who wish to be a part of .strandberg* history.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
