Stromberg Established in 1905, Stromberg guitars
are known around the world as premier archtop guitars with a reputation
for sound and playability. Designed and built to excel in the big band
jazz setting, Stromberg guitars have always been known for their high
quality construction and the ability to “cut through the mix”. Today’s
Stromberg guitars continue that tradition and stay true to the legacy of
this iconic brand.
Manufactured in Europe to the highest
standards of workmanship, materials and quality, each Stromberg is built
by combining the advances in guitar production technology and the long
practiced traditional handcraftsmanship of some of Europe’s leading
builders.
Monterey
The Monterey combines the tonal design of a classic Stromberg archtop
and combines it with modern guitar electronics. The thin line design
provides great feel and playability combined with the classic dual
pickup jazz guitar configuration. This provides a unique tone perfectly
suited to jazz. Add to that our high quality pickups, select maple,
ebony and rosewood fretboards, and select body woods and you get a
classic instrument with perfect appointments. An optional Bigsby tremolo
takes the Monterey from jazz to country, blues and rock.
