Critic Reviews

“This Stromberg is so overwhelmingly loud, it’s kind of like a grand piano because it sounds so big”: Why the 1946 Stromberg Master 400 is a jazz guitar to rival anything from Gibson and D'Angelico | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The 1946 Stromberg Master 400 is hailed as a vintage gem, boasting a robust, piano-like volume that stands out in any ensemble. Its unique single-brace design contributes to a distinctive, bass-heavy tone that easily cuts through the mix, appealing to jazz musicians. However, the guitar isn't without flaws; cosmetic issues like lacquer checking and minor finish flaking can deter some buyers. Despite these imperfections, the Master 400's historical significance and sound quality make it a worthy consideration for serious guitarists seeking a classic jazz instrument.
