The Original new and Yet Familiar
As the name suggests The Original was the first of the Boden series.
Unique in its design and features the woods and pick up selection wouldn’t normally be seen on classic guitars. Humbuckers and a maple top would fall at home on a gibson or PRS where as the swamp ash body and maple neck are most commonly found in the land of Fenders yet it all works so well together.
The Strandberg* Boden range is very likely unlike anything you’ve played before, yet somehow Strandberg have improved on what’s familiar in almost every way.
By honing the way the guitars resonate, the weight has been reduced without sacrificing an ounce of tone.
With careful consideration of how we play differently at various parts of the fretboard the specialised neck carve adapts our hands to more easily reach those harder to reach notes effortlessly both low down and high up the neck.
Then the frets which are fan fretted. This isn’t done so for appearance, the subtle fanning gives greater accuracy to intonation without making notes strange to play.
Not many get it so right the first time, an excellent first!
