Periphery<\/a>\u2019s Jake Bowen<\/a> has become the latest guitarist to join Strandberg<\/a>\u2019s artist roster.<\/p>\n

After already incorporating a range of 6-, 7- and 8-string models from the headless guitar specialist into his studio and live rigs, Bowen and Strandberg are now said to be eyeing up \u201cfuture artist-driven projects\u201d, though it remains to be seen exactly what that\u2019ll entail.<\/p>\n

One thing\u2019s for sure though: Jake Bowen\u2019s boundary-pushing djent-style Periphery riffs paired with one of the most innovative guitar companies around right now is something of a match made in heaven, so it\u2019s almost assured a signature model will be on the way.<\/p>\n

Strandberg already counts some of the guitar world\u2019s most visionary players among its diverse roster, including Jacob Collier<\/a>, Dream Theater<\/a>\u2019s Jordan Rudess<\/a> and Australian guitarist Plini<\/a>, all of whom have signature guitars to their names.<\/p>\n

\u201cA great guitar should be inspiring the moment you pick it up \u2013 they almost beckon you from across the room to play them, and when I picked up a Strandberg for the first time I knew it was going to be special,\u201d said Jake Bowen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a guitarist for 34 years, I\u2019ve had a lot of time to discover what works in the studio and on the road. Strandberg guitars offer a lightweight, ergonomic solution without giving up tone, playability, and most importantly that instant source of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Bowen joined Periphery in 2007, two years after the band\u2019s formation by Misha Mansoor<\/a>, and has played on all eight of the band\u2019s full-length albums, including, most recently, 2026\u2019s A Pale White Dot.<\/p>\n
