strandberg Boden Standard N2.6 Multi-Scale Electric Guitar - Black Satin Metallic

Angular yet ergonomic, radical yet refined, the .strandberg* Boden stands as an icon of modern guitar design—built for players who demand absolute precision without the limitations of a traditional instrument. The Boden Standard N2.6 multi-scale electric guitar pushes that formula forward with a newly sculpted body profile and a titanium-reinforced roasted maple EndurNeck, delivering the most fluid and responsive playing experience yet. Updated contours bring the guitar closer to the body for improved balance and comfort, while the EndurNeck provides exceptional stability and a fast, effortless feel across the fretboard. A solid basswood body keeps the tonal foundation tight, neutral and articulate, allowing Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus humbuckers to move seamlessly from shimmering cleans to aggressive drive without losing clarity. Anchored by EGS Arc hardware for enhanced sustain, resonance and simplified setup, the Boden Standard N2.6 represents a confident evolution of an instrument that continues to redefine what an electric guitar can be.

Solid Basswood Body With Refined Contours for Comfort and Focused Response

The Boden Standard N2.6 is built around a solid basswood body, chosen for its even frequency response and neutral tonal character that lets technique, amplification and pickups speak clearly. Basswood’s balanced mids and controlled low end provide a tight, articulate foundation equally suited to clean passages and high-gain applications. Marking an update for this generation, the sculpted body top introduces smoother transitions and deeper ergonomic shaping, allowing the instrument to sit closer to the player’s torso for improved balance and reduced fatigue. The result is a guitar that feels lighter, more connected and effortlessly comfortable across long sessions and demanding performances.

Titanium-Reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck for Stability, Speed and Clarity

In a first for the Standard, the N2.6 features a titanium-reinforced roasted maple EndurNeck, delivering the most stable and resonant neck construction ever offered in this series. The added rigidity enhances note clarity, sustain and long-term tuning reliability while preserving the fast, natural feel that defines the EndurNeck experience. Designed to support the hand’s neutral position, the profile reduces fatigue and encourages efficient movement across the fretboard. A roasted maple fingerboard with a 20" radius and 24 stainless steel frets provides a smooth, durable playing surface with excellent articulation, while Luminlay inlays and side dots ensure clear visibility in low-light performance environments.

Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus Humbuckers for a Versatile, High-Definition Voice

Equipped with American-made Seymour Duncan pickups, the Boden Standard N2.6 offers a wide tonal range without sacrificing clarity or control. The Pegasus bridge humbucker delivers tight low end, articulate mids and controlled aggression, making it ideal for modern rhythm work and saturated lead tones. The Sentient neck pickup balances warmth and precision, offering smooth sustain and expressive dynamics for clean passages and fluid soloing. A flexible five-way switching system unlocks a variety of humbucking and split-coil voices, allowing seamless transitions between full-bodied drive, glassy cleans and nuanced intermediate tones.

EGS ARC Multi-scale Hardware for Sustain, Resonance and Effortless Maintenance

The EGS Arc multi-scale hardtail bridge reflects a thoughtful evolution in .strandberg* hardware design, offering full body contact for improved resonance and sustain. Its redesigned architecture simplifies setup and string changes while maintaining exceptional tuning stability and intonation accuracy. Combined with the Arc string lock and lightweight aluminum hardware, the system contributes to the guitar’s balanced feel and responsive attack. Finished in black satin, the hardware complements the instrument’s clean, modern aesthetic while reinforcing its performance-focused design.

The Boden Standard N2.6: A Forward-Thinking Instrument for the Modern Player

The .strandberg* Boden Standard N2.6 distills years of ergonomic innovation into a refined, accessible instrument built for serious players. With its updated body contours, titanium-reinforced EndurNeck, precision-voiced Seymour Duncan pickups and next-generation EGS Arc hardware, it delivers exceptional comfort, stability and tonal versatility in a lightweight, headless format. More than a baseline model, the multi-scale Standard N2.6 represents the current benchmark for modern electric guitar design—engineered to support creativity without compromise.
