96/100 in Playability.

A .strandberg* guitar equipped with True Temperament frets has reached an outstanding 96/100 playability score on FindMyGuitar’s electric guitar rankings, placing it among the very highest rated instruments on the platform.

What makes this especially interesting is that the score is not based on hype, artist endorsements or marketing claims. It comes from an independent comparison system evaluating factors such as chord comfort, solo playability, neck geometry, fretboard radius, ergonomics and overall playing experience.

For years, the conversation around True Temperament has mainly focused on intonation and tuning accuracy.

Now independent platforms are also highlighting something equally important:
how the instrument actually feels to play.

The combination of Strandberg’s forward-thinking ergonomic design and the True Temperament fretting system results in an instrument that does not only sound more in tune, but also inspires confidence, precision and flow in the hands of the player.

True Temperament. You don’t just hear the difference. You play it.

Per Nilsson is the prototypical modern metal guitarist: virtuosic in both rhythm and lead playing, melodic yet mean, brutal while musical, and intelligent as well as instinctive as a writer. Per embodies the evolution and development of modern metal music with his work as the founding member of Scar...

We absolutely love seeing this kind of creativity from the guitar community.

A huge thank you to MV Comic and The Guitar Zombie for featuring True Temperament in their brilliant underground comic “GUITARMYTHS: Gags and myths about guitarplayers”.

The strip captures something we know very well: strong opinions often come before actual experience. That is exactly why we always encourage players to trust their ears, their hands, and their own musical journey.

It is inspiring and genuinely flattering to see True Temperament become part of guitar culture in such a fun and thoughtful way.

Kill the myths. Trust your ears. Keep playing.

Prompted by Facebook now, my first time at the Guitar Show!. A pic from this spontaneous performance, for which everything was improvised in the last minute, even a guitar with "squiggly" (True Temperament) frets that I could borrow, and some FINE pedals to step on, at the EBS Professional Bass Equipment booth! 💥🎶🤟
