Ola Englund endorsed by Strictly 7 Guitars

Infamous Impact · 09-05-2011, 11:57 AM

Just saw his new signature guitar on Facebook:

Here's a video of him playing the prototype:

MikeH · 09-05-2011, 12:03 PM

Lookin' quite sexy. Wonder how much it'll dent the wallet, though.

TheBotquax · 09-05-2011, 12:10 PM

This is a good day

RiffRaff · 09-05-2011, 12:13 PM

Badass guitar for a Badass player.

Pooluke41 · 09-05-2011, 12:13 PM

I prefer this tone to his normal tone,

Is it the Fortin or the BKP's....

Or both...

kmanick · 09-05-2011, 12:57 PM

Nice!
liking that headstock I hope that's a "standard" Hs option from these guys.

JPMike · 09-05-2011, 01:31 PM

It looks so nice.

Love that headstock.

Gratz on Ola!!

Fred the Shred · 09-05-2011, 01:36 PM

I was quite pleased when I saw his proto slightly before divulging things was in order - I find it quite aesthetically pleasing, and Jim has a rep for being nothing but an awesome chap regarding endorsees and customers alike. Here's hoping everything works for the best with Ola's new endorsement!

BigPhi84 · 09-05-2011, 03:00 PM

Is it an optical illusion or does that trem route look oversized?

Everything else looks good.

the bottom end edge of the trem itself looks like it's recessed a bit after the pole.

rjnix_0329 · 09-05-2011, 03:30 PM

I really dig everything about this guitar (finish, neck, scale length, shape, size) except for the Floyd...one of these without a trem and I would be all over it.

Kel668 · 09-05-2011, 03:50 PM

Very, very nice. I'd also be curious about the price on this one.

Ola said elsewhere that it would be available as a hardtail as well.

ibanezRG1527 · 09-05-2011, 06:09 PM

ola is so ....ing cool. and so if that guitar, vid and head (but not for $5000!!!)

shitsøn · 09-05-2011, 07:15 PM

It is most certainly not an optical illusion.

poopyalligator · 09-05-2011, 08:15 PM

Very nice. I really wasn't very fond of their headstocks, but this new one is sweet. Sick looking guitar!

Miek · 09-05-2011, 08:19 PM

I want one, oversized route or not.

gunshow86de · 09-05-2011, 08:57 PM

It's nice to see the Strictly 7 name getting some more recognition (not that I'm biased or anything

). I know Ola's videos get quite a few views, should be good for business.

The inline (and reverse-inline) headstock has been a standard option for Strictly 7 for a while, I think since the beginning?

scherzo1928 · 09-05-2011, 09:14 PM

I've never liked black guitars, or signature guitars... This guitar is both... I like the fudge out of it... wtf???

but yeah, I really REEEEAAALLYY like it.

signalgrey · 09-05-2011, 09:28 PM

really liked that

I feel the same way. I should hate it, but I really like it.

Anyone know if Ola is a member here? He's on MGO, but he's not posting in this thread, so I'm assuming not.

oh sweet mercy, that looks amazing!

mountainjam · 09-05-2011, 11:07 PM

If this is the sig guitar Jim mentioned to me a while back on the phone, its going to be affordably priced and available in European stores. I think hes planning on building around 100 of these give or take. But don't quote me on that, my memory could be wrong.
