When Strandberg's Boden model first hit the scene just over a decade ago, few could predict the impact these headless guitars would have on the guitar community. Fast-forward to today, and the Boden is going stronger than ever, with several models and configurations to choose from to fit your playing needs. The Strandberg Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo builds on the blueprint of its predecessors, with new and improved hardware, exquisite electronics, and even sustainable materials that deliver an unequivocally boutique experience. The Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo's alder body is joined by maple for the neck and rosewood for the fingerboard, familiar to the hands and ears of previous players and comfortable enough for anyone to jump right in and get to work. A trio of Strandberg OEM pickups in HSS configuration give the Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo a sonic edge above the competition, delivering a tight and forward midrange humbucker tone at the bridge with hot and balanced classic-sounding single coils in the middle and neck positions. Throw in a highly expressive EGS Rev 7 Tremolo for warbles and dives along with stainless-steel frets, and the Strandberg Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo solidifies its place as one of Strandberg's highest-performing Bodens to date.
Sweet-sounding tonewoods of the highest quality
Before you even plug in, strum a few chords and pick through a few licks on the Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo. The resulting sound is nothing short of stellar, courtesy of high-performing tonewoods delivering the perfect combination of phenomenal organic tone, ergonomic design, and effortless playability. To achieve that, the Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo starts with an alder body, pumping out laser-focused sounds with good sustain and resonance. Snappy maple was chosen for the neck, outfitted with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for long-lasting durability that stands up to the drastic temperature and humidity changes commonly experienced when touring. Rounding out these top-tier tonewoods is a smooth-as-glass rosewood fingerboard, guaranteed to send your fretting hand from head(less) to heel in no time.
Superb OEM pickups
Configured in an HSS formation, the OEM humbucker and single-coil pickups aboard the Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo offer a cool and classic tone with some extra bite where you need it. The bridge humbucker has a fantastic midrange that provides a forward sound that tightens up well on both the low and high ends of the frequency spectrum. Above it sits two single coils in the middle and neck positions, delivering a fierce and tenacious take on a classic tone with a real balanced feel that morphs beautifully throughout all five selector positions. These OEM pickups have the attention of guitarists all around here, and it isn't hard to see why!
Balanced headless design
The Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo's headless design removes mass from the headstock for lower weight and improved balance, so you can play marathon sets in total comfort. On the other end, Strandberg's custom bridge hardware makes an important contribution to the tone of the instrument. Made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, the EGS Rev 7 Tremolo bridge's tight component coupling ensures that all the strings' vibrations are optimally transferred to the tonewoods.
EndurNeck profile and bolt-on design for comfort and playability
At first glance, Strandberg's acclaimed EndurNeck profile is sure to draw a few questions with its unique shape. Here, guitarists will all tell you the same thing: the EndurNeck feels even better than it looks. The carbon fiber-reinforced neck sports a rear-shafted trapezoid shape, possessing incredible comfort and noticeable stability. Almost magically, you will feel your grip significantly relax when playing an EndurNeck, leading to longer playing times and fewer injuries. The Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo's bolt-on construction, paired with a deep double-cut design, offers easy access to the upper register for increased playability and a more focused punch — a welcome feature uncommon for many other bolt-on guitars.
Multi-scale rosewood fingerboard
The fingerboard of a Strandberg is instantly recognizable for its multi-scale configuration that assigns each string a unique scale length. This allows low strings to intonate better at high tension and makes bending high strings a breeze. The Boden Classic NX 6 Tremolo's EndurNeck is capped by a 20-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard with a 25–25.5-inch scale length. Not to mention, its 24 Jescar frets are made from stainless steel — a player-favorite fret material for its incredible resistance to wear over time.
