Periphery guitarist and djent king Jake Bowen joins Strandberg
Periphery’s Jake Bowen has become the latest guitarist to join Strandberg’s artist roster.
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 “future artist-driven projects”, though it remains to be seen exactly what that’ll entail.
One thing’s for sure though: Jake Bowen’s 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’s almost assured a signature model will be on the way.

Strandberg already counts some of the guitar world’s most visionary players among its diverse roster, including Jacob Collier, Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess and Australian guitarist Plini, all of whom have signature guitars to their names.
“A great guitar should be inspiring the moment you pick it up – 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,” said Jake Bowen.
“As a guitarist for 34 years, I’ve 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.”
Jake Bowen joined Periphery in 2007, two years after the band’s formation by Misha Mansoor, and has played on all eight of the band’s full-length albums, including, most recently, 2026’s A Pale White Dot.
