Strandberg Boden NX 8 Richard Henshall Signature Natural 

Designed and developed with Richard Henshall of the trailblazing prog-metal outfit Haken from London, UK, the Boden NX 8 Richard Henshall Edition is as unique, inspiring, and versatile as the band’s kaleidoscopic amalgamation of progressive, extreme metal, jazz, classical, electronic, and rock that has garnered a growing diehard international fanbase. Featuring a chambered Basswood body with Maple top and Ziricote veneer, Maple neck with Birdseye Maple fretboard with the special “Hen” inlay on the first fret, custom wood knobs, angled Lundgren M8 humbuckers with a push-pull coil tap tone knob, this instrument stands out from the crowd aesthetically, conceptually, and sonically. From pulverizing metal riffs to searing leads and sparkling clean single-coil rhythm to warm fat-bodied humbucker tones, the Boden 8 Richard Henshall can pummel and scream or purr while responding with uncompromising accuracy and sensitivity to your most aggressive pick attack or the most subtle nuances of your playing.

The Boden NX 8 Richard Henshall Edition is for the forward-thinking modern musician who is not held back by traditions and is always seeking to innovate and break new ground. From the most extreme brutal metal assault to warm jazzy tones and jangly clean rhythm sounds, this instrument embraces the best of the past while incorporating innovative modern designs, concepts, and technologies to expand what a guitar can do. With new concepts such as headless design, multi-scale construction, the radically innovative EndurNeck™, and aircraft grade aluminum hardware, the Boden design has stood the test of time and continues to evolve and expand into new frontiers to help modern musicians to be the very best they can be.
