strandberg Boden Metal NX 6 Multi-Scale Electric Guitar - Black Granite

Precision-driven design defines the .strandberg* Boden Metal NX 6, a modern instrument shaped for demanding high-performance playing. Refined through direct player feedback, this latest evolution of the Metal series pairs uncompromising stability with the explosive articulation required for modern high-gain mastery. At its core, a chambered basswood body topped with solid maple delivers a punchy, mid-forward voice that stays tight, focused and controlled—even under extreme saturation. The player-favorite roasted maple EndurNeck returns with a jet-black Ebonol fingerboard, offering a friction-free feel, enhanced rigidity and long-term durability. American-made Suhr Aldrich humbuckers supply massive output with complex harmonic detail, giving technical leads clarity and authority without sacrificing aggression. Anchored by EGS Rev7 hardware for rock-solid tuning and efficient string energy transfer, the Boden Metal NX 6 multi-scale electric guitar is a lightweight, headless powerhouse built for the most demanding modern metal environments.

Chambered Basswood Body for Tight Response and Lightweight Balance

The Boden Metal NX 6 is built around a chambered basswood body, chosen for its balanced frequency response and naturally tight low end. This construction emphasizes clarity and punch under high gain while maintaining a smooth, even midrange that keeps complex riffs articulate and controlled. Chambering reduces overall weight and enhances resonance, resulting in an instrument that remains comfortable during long sessions without sacrificing focus or immediacy. A solid maple top adds definition and attack, while the smooth satin finish reinforces the guitar’s sleek, no-nonsense aesthetic.

Roasted Maple EndurNeck and Ebonol Fingerboard for Stability and Speed

The roasted maple neck marks a key upgrade to the Metal NX platform, offering improved rigidity, consistency and resistance to environmental changes. Carved to .strandberg*’s proprietary EndurNeck profile, it promotes a neutral wrist position that reduces fatigue and supports technical accuracy at speed. Carbon fiber reinforcement further enhances stability, while the Ebonol fingerboard provides a fast, uniform playing surface with a crisp, immediate attack. A 20" radius, multi-scale length of 25"–25.5" and 24 stainless steel frets ensure balanced string tension, precise intonation and effortless execution across the entire range. Luminlay inlays and side dots maintain visibility in dark stage environments.

Suhr Aldrich Humbuckers for Aggressive Output and Definition

Electronics are driven by a pair of American-made Suhr Aldrich humbuckers, a proven choice for modern metal players seeking power without loss of clarity. The bridge pickup delivers a tight, authoritative low end with cutting upper mids that keep palm-muted riffs articulate and percussive, while the neck pickup offers thick sustain and vocal lead tones with controlled compression. A five-way pickup selector expands versatility through coil-split combinations, allowing access to leaner textures and articulate cleans alongside full humbucking output. Passive wiring preserves dynamic response and touch sensitivity, ensuring the guitar reacts immediately to picking nuance.

EGS Rev7 Hardtail Hardware for Rock-Solid Performance

The EGS Rev7 hardtail bridge and matching string lock form a stable, low-profile hardware system engineered for maximum tuning reliability and sustain. This setup delivers a direct, immediate feel that rewards aggressive right-hand technique and rapid articulation. A zero fret ensures consistent string height and tone across open and fretted notes, while black satin hardware and minimalist NX aluminum controls maintain a clean, functional visual language aligned with the Metal series’ ethos.

The .strandberg* Boden Metal NX 6 distills everything players value about the Metal series into a refined, performance-driven instrument with meaningful upgrades where they matter most.
