Strandberg Boden Metal NX 6 Multi-Scale Headless Guitar, Roasted Maple Neck, Black Granite

Manufacturer's Description

Many players have embraced the Metal series guitars as their vessel of expression since its introduction in 2017, but even the most celebrated products can be improved. One of the most requested features in recent times has been the reintroduction of Roasted Maple necks, which is why the 2024 Metal models feature Roasted Maple necks with jet-black Ebonol fretboards. The chambered Basswood body, EGS Rev7 hardware, and American-made Suhr pickups remain unchanged due to widespread acclaim and create a Boden Metal NX 6 with all the features that players have come to know and love with the addition of improved rigid stability.

Chambered Basswood Body With Maple Top

This combination of woods and construction expands on the recipe of historical guitars designed for heavy music and enhanches it with a lively response and complex harmonics to preserve a wheighty tone without sacrificing clarity or responsiveness.

Composite Fretboard

The black composite fretboards of the Metal series guitars not only constribute to their mesmerizing look, but to their smooth playing feel, stability, and exceptionally fast note tracking as well.
