Strandberg Boden Essential 6 Electric Guitar in Black Granite

The Boden Essential is for all electric guitar players who are interested in a modern state-of-the-art electric guitar with innovative ergonomic features that can cover virtually any musical genre and playing style. It is also for the open-minded and forward-looking musician who is willing to try something different that is also practical and logical.

The Strandberg Essential Concept

The concept of the Strandberg Essential range was to embody all of the Strandberg values while making it more accessible to the everyday player. The headless guitar has straight frets instead of the usual fanned, or multi-scale frets seen on other lines of the Strandberg range.

Key Features

• The EndurNeck – Due to the way that it is designed, it is experienced as comfortable whether you are used to a thick or thin neck.
• Strandberg EGS Arc Hardware – Built with usability in mind, this hardware is designed to be simple, but effective.
• Stainless Steel Frets – Simply a smooth playing experience to be had!
• Strandberg Gigbag – A Strandberg Gigbag is included, meaning you can transport the guitar with ease, while looking stylish too.

Tonewoods

Built with the Strandberg ethos in mind, the guitar is made from locally sourced wood from the Strandberg Factory in Indonesia. The neck is made from Roasted Maple which gives superior tuning stability, the fretboard is Rosewood, and the body is made from Meranti which is sturdy and lightweight, making the guitar overall an ergonomic, lightweight & stable experience.

Hardware Designed from the Ground Up

The new EGC Arc hardware designed for the Strandberg Essential range is built to squeeze every last drop of pure performance & usability.

Strandberg OEM Humbuckers

The bridge pickup yields a midrange-focused tone with a tight bass and fluid sustain while the neck humbucker is wound for clarity with focus on sparkly treble and higher midrange.

The EndurNeck

The EndurNeck™ is a patented neck profile that provides many benefits. By utilizing flat surfaces rather than a round profile, it provides a more restful grip for the thumb. Ergonomically, your hand is much stronger when gripping something thick than when gripping something thin, and the EndurNeck™ uses this fact in its design.

Chord playing is made easier at the far end of the neck, while soloing and fret access in general at the near end of the neck is made easier. The result is less stress on muscles, joints & tendons, which lets you play more relaxed, with less fatigue, which results in less risk of injury and better playing, which is one of the true values of the Strandberg designs.
