Sweden Rock 2026 – What a Ride!

And just like that, another Sweden Rock has come to an end.

What an amazing few days it has been. Our backstage tent has been packed with visitors from morning until late at night. We’ve had countless conversations about guitars, music, tone, craftsmanship, and of course True Temperament. We’ve met old friends, made new ones, seen some fantastic bands, and we’re happy to say that quite a few new orders found their way onto the books as well.

To be honest, we were so busy that we barely had time to take photos. Among today’s snapshots you’ll find members of Treat, including Nalle Påhlsson proudly showing one of his True Temperament-equipped basses, as well as members of Yngwie Malmsteen Band including Yngwie’s guitar tech, bassist, and drummer. We also had the pleasure of welcoming members of Clawfinger and many others who stopped by throughout the festival.

The greatest takeaway, however, is not the photos. It’s the people. The curiosity, the enthusiasm, the support, and the genuine interest in what we do. Every conversation, every riff played, every guitar passed from one set of hands to another reminds us why we’re so passionate about this journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, tested our instruments, shared their thoughts, asked questions, and helped make this year’s Sweden Rock such a memorable experience.

If Sweden Rock left you dreaming about your own True Temperament instrument, remember that you can reserve your place in the production queue directly through our webshop. Simply place a 20% deposit and we’ll secure your build slot, with the remaining balance due when your instrument is ready for delivery.

Until next time, thank you Sweden Rock.

We’ll see you down the road. 🤘

Sweden Rock Diary #2 – No Time for Photos!

The traffic through our backstage tent just keeps increasing. To be honest, there are so many people stopping by that we hardly have time to take photos.

Just like during the first days, we’re meeting a constant stream of curious players discovering True Temperament for the first time. At the same time, even more longtime fans are dropping by to talk guitars, share stories, and test our latest creations.

A lot of attention has been focused on our new TT Labworks guitar as well as the Freak Guitar Lab ULV models, all built by us in Trollhättan, Sweden. Both have been getting a serious workout from players throughout the festival.

The guys from Zuta Group have also been busy all day, with a steady flow of visitors checking out their products and joining the conversations.

Among yesterday’s visitors were Tommy Johansson of Sabaton, guitarists from Dirkschneider, numerous guitar techs from various touring bands, Roine Stolt, Andy La Rocque, Love Magnusson, Victor Olsson, Gathering of Kings and members of Velveteen Queen.

What makes Sweden Rock so special is the mix of artists, technicians, builders, and dedicated music fans. New friendships are made, old friends reconnect, and guitars are constantly changing hands.

The atmosphere is fantastic, the conversations are endless, and the interest in True Temperament continues to grow.

Sweden Rock delivers exactly what we came for.

True Temperament at Sweden Rock Festival – The Backstage Buzz Is Real

True Temperament is once again on site backstage at Sweden Rock, and the tent is buzzing from morning to night.

Curious guitarists stop by to experience True Temperament for the very first time, while longtime believers drop in to hang out, talk guitars, and share their experiences. It has become a meeting place for musicians, techs, builders, and tone enthusiasts from all corners of the festival.

Over the past days we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming artists and crew including John Norum, Stephen Platt, Flemming Clausen Lund, members of Jelusick, Ego Kill Talent, Trivium, John 5, Eclipse, and even the guitar tech for Adrian Smith.

Keeping the good vibes flowing is our own artist relations manager, Per Nilsson, making sure everyone feels welcome and gets the chance to explore what True Temperament is all about.

We’re also proud to be sharing the tent with our friends from ZUTA, as passionate, supportive, and welcoming as ever.

Great conversations, great players, great music, and a lot of perfectly intonated guitars. Sweden Rock never disappoints.

Can we still say this?
Happy 80th Birthday, Fender.

Since 1946, Fender has inspired generations of players and builders around the world.
At 80 years old, some people get a new hip, a new knee, or a new set of teeth.
For your guitars, the answer is much simpler.
Upgrade them with True Temperament Frets.

We don't build Stratocasters. We just help them play more in tune.

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.
