Product Description
The Boden Essential delivers everything that’s made Strandberg one of the most innovative guitar brands around, but at their most accessible price point yet. You still get the full Boden experience, including the iconic EndurNeck profile, low weight, superb balance, plus a huge range of versatile tones. And it also features Strandberg's proprietary Arc hardware, offering rock-solid reliability and intuitive operation whether you're a student-level player or a seasoned pro.
Why go headless?
Headless guitars may have first appeared back in the '80s, but they're enjoying a big resurgence and for good reason. By removing the traditional headstock, headless electric guitars become more compact, lighter and easier to carry around without sacrificing scale length or playability. They're also incredibly comfy thanks to their ergonomic designs, making long practice sessions and demanding gigs far less tiring.
Lightweight solid Meranti body
The Strandberg Boden Essential 6 guitar’s solid Meranti body keeps weight to a minimum while delivering a focused, punchy voice with strong midrange character. As well as being lightweight and resonant, it's a sustainably sourced material too — making it a practical choice both sonically and environmentally.
Roasted Maple EndurNeck
The EndurNeck profile is arguably what Strandberg guitars are best known for, designed to promote a more natural playing position and help reduce fatigue. For the Essential series, Strandberg opted for a one-piece roasted Maple neck that's stable, durable and supremely comfortable in the hand. While it's a simpler construction than the multi-piece necks found on higher-end models, it still delivers all the ergonomic benefits that have made the EndurNeck a game-changer for players around the world.
EGS ARC Hardware
The EGS Arc bridge system is a Strandberg-exclusive design that's built with both performance and practicality in mind. Featuring a single-piece zinc baseplate that's precisely curved to match the fingerboard radius, it provides excellent string alignment and efficient vibration transfer for optimum resonance. Every component has been engineered for strength, straightforward setup adjustments and hassle-free maintenance.
Features
- Headless design: Lighter, more compact and perfectly balanced, making it comfortable to play for hours and easy to transport.
- 24 stainless steel frets: Smooth under the fingers and built to last, giving you years of reliable performance with minimal wear.
- Strandberg-designed humbuckers: Deliver crystal-clear highs, tight lows and punchy mids with plenty of output for everything from clean tones to high-gain sounds.
- 5-way pickup switching: Access a wide range of tones, from full-bodied humbucker grunt to crisp single-coil-style sparkle.
- Included gig bag: Keep your Boden Essential protected whether you're heading to a rehearsal, gig or simply storing it at home.
