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 Original NX 6 Neck-Thru with 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 just that, the Boden Original NX 6 starts with a swamp ash body topped with maple, pumping out laser-focused sounds with prolific resonance and sustain. Roasted 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 bird's-eye maple fingerboard, guaranteed to send your fretting hand from head(less) to heel in no time.





Optimized with superb Suhr pickups





To give the Boden Original NX 6 Neck-Thru with tremolo its distinct sound, Strandberg equipped it with a pair of highly coveted Suhr pickups. Loaded in the bridge is an SSH , a tried-and-true high-output humbucker that's fully prepared for everything from dirt-tinged prog licks to destructive deathcore and more. The SSV humbucker's crystal clarity and smooth tone are ideal for the neck position and pair perfectly with the SSH ? whatever sonic flavor you require, these Suhr pickups are a surefire way of achieving the results you seek.





Balanced headless design





The Boden Original NX 6'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. Finally, made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, the EGS Rev 7 tremolo bridge provides optimal resonance, lasting string stability, and expressive bends.





EndurNeck profile for comfort and playability





At first glance, Strandberg’s acclaimed EndurNeck profile is sure to draw a few questions with its unique shape. Here at Sweetwater, 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 and more comfortable playing sessions. Furthermore, this Boden Original NX’s neck-through construction and deep double-cut body provide unrestricted access to higher registers, making it among the most formidable Strandbergs ever built!





Multi-scale bird’s-eye maple 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 Original NX 6’s EndurNeck is capped by a 20-inch-radius bird’s-eye maple fingerboard with a 25-25.5-inch scale length. 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.
