“As a guitar player and a fan of many music styles, I found the .strandberg* Sälen Jazz the most versatile instrument of all. It can be an amazing jazz guitar with a rich jazz tone and also a perfectly intonated jazz fusion weapon for hybrid picking and tapping. Beautiful work of art and ergonomics.” – Damjan Pejcinoski
