With its clear nod to the past and state-of-the-art ergonomics, the Strandberg Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo electric guitar is sure to find a suitable home in any player’s stable. Its okoume body is bright and articulate, which, when paired with a set of Strandberg humbuckers, creates a fleet-of-finger responsiveness cloaked in smooth and rich double-coil tone. Explore five positions of pickup selection and bask in the glory of the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s tonally satisfying coil splitting. Much like Strandberg’s other headless workhorses, the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo sports an EndurNeck, facilitating effortless playability across the bird’s-eye maple fingerboard’s 24 frets. Top it off with a super expressive EGS Tremolo Rev 7 bridge, and Strandberg’s Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo electric guitar takes the timeless T-style design to new heights.

Rich, coil-splitting Strandberg humbuckers

Strandberg opted for the classically rich and smooth tone of their proprietary humbuckers to voice the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo. And what an excellent choice that was! The articulate and fast-playing nature of the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s neck and tone woods are only further complemented by these smooth and warm humbuckers, laying a perfect foundation for successful shredding, soloing, and the like. Add in a 5-way pickup selector to the equation, and the tonal possibilities really open up! The 1st, 3rd, and 5th positions operate traditionally, while the 2nd position creates a partial split of the neck pickup and the 4th position runs the neck slug coil and bridge screw coil in parallel. Talk about options!

One-of-a-kind headless design

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s headless design removes mass from the headstock for lower weight and improved balance to play marathon sets in total comfort. On the other end, Strandberg’s custom bridge hardware makes an important contribution to the instrument’s tone. Made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, the EGS Tremolo Rev 7 bridge's tight component coupling ensures that all the strings’ vibrations are optimally transferred to the tonewoods. Plus, you’ll easily unleash subtle tone dips and massive dives!

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 Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s bolt-on construction, paired with a deep single-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 bird’s-eye maple fingerboard

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s beautifully figured bird’s-eye maple fingerboard is more than just a feast for the eyes. Its multi-scale configuration assigns each string a unique scale length, allowing low strings to intonate better at high tension and making high-string bends a breeze. Not to mention, its 24 jumbo frets are made from stainless steel — a player-favorite fret material for its incredible resistance to wear over time.
