Strandberg Boden+ NX 6 True Temperament Headless Guitar, Coppertone

Player's Perspective

If you asked us to show you a guitar that we thought looked the most like it came from a technologically-advanced society from the future, a Strandberg would most likely be our pick - in particular, this awesome Boden+ NX 6. The gorgeous Coppertone finish may evoke vintage vibes, but the rest of this awesome axe's beauty lies in its modernity. 

You may have noticed the funky-looking frets - this is their True Temperament fretting system. This revolutionary feature ensures every fretted note has perfect intonation and pitch. While, as per Strandberg's own words, the technology won't win any awards in the visual aesthetics department, the sheer functional effectiveness is absolutely incredible. Combine that with the fantastic-sounding Strandberg humbuckers that can cover a gamut of tones ranging from crystal clear to high gain with the 5-way switching and push-pull controls.

Strandberg has been long known for making excellent headless guitars that are absolutely effortless to play, and while yes, "effortless playability" is used to describe many of the great guitars we've had here at the shop, it especially is true for Strandberg because of the deliberate improvements they have made to ergonomics, weight distribution, neck and body relationship, and more down to the smallest of details. This NX 6 is no exception, and is in fact one of the greatest examples of their innovation.
