Strandberg Boden Classic NX 6 Malta
DESCRIPTION
The Boden Classic NX is the modern and futuristic take of the classic time-tested bolt-on solidbody design with many of the same innovative and groundbreaking ergonomic design and functionality features that the Boden has become renowned for. Incorporating a pickguard on a solid Alder body for a cool retro-modern look and a more traditional sound with the Suhr™ Thornbucker Plus humbucker pickup in raw nickel cover in the bridge position and a pair of Suhr™ V60LP single-coil pickups, the new Boden Classic NX guitars deliver tone, style, feel, and the vibe that traditionalists can enjoy while benefitting from the lightweight design and the Boden’s acclaimed ergonomic features.
Designed for open-minded musicians who also have their feet firmly planted in the traditional ground, the Classic NX features a lightweight solid Alder body mated with carbon reinforced Maple neck with either Maple or Rosewood fretboard. Due to the Classic NX’s solidbody build compared to the chambered body of other Boden NX models, the acoustic character is punchier with a more pronounced midrange focus. Coupled with the pickguard rout and the tremolo system, the overall tone is more traditional that will appeal to more roots-oriented players into classic rock, blues, jazz, and pop. The Suhr™ Thornbucker Plus humbucker with raw nickel over and a pair of Suhr™ V60LP single-coil pickups deliver authentic and timeless vintage-voiced sounds with an extra kick and refinement to suit a wide range of genres and playing styles.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
