Strandberg Boden Original N2.6T - Black Denim Burst Satin #C2514230

The .strandberg* Boden Original N2.6T in Black Denim Burst Satin represents the pinnacle of the Original series — the very line that put .strandberg* on the map as a force in modern guitar design. Draped in a sophisticated dark-toned burst over a satin finish, this guitar wears its elegance quietly, with understated beauty that rewards a closer look. This is an instrument built not for flash, but for players who understand that true refinement lies in the details.

At the core of the Original N2.6T is a chambered swamp ash body topped with solid maple and a flamed maple veneer — a tonewood combination that delivers the warm, airy resonance and lively natural snap that ash is prized for, with the added clarity and sustain of a solid maple cap. The N2 curved body top follows the natural arc of the strings, reducing pressure on the picking arm and wrapping around the body in a way that feels immediately intuitive. Combined with the headless design that eliminates neck dive and drops overall weight to around 5 lbs, this is a guitar you can play for hours without the physical toll of a traditional instrument.

The neck is a major highlight of the Original series: roasted maple reinforced with titanium rods, topped with a roasted birdseye maple fingerboard that's as visually stunning as it is fast underhand. The EndurNeck™ profile — one of Ola Strandberg's most celebrated innovations — promotes a natural, low-tension hand position that reduces fatigue and strain across extended playing sessions. With a multi-scale layout running from 25" to 25.5", a generous 20" fingerboard radius, 24 stainless steel frets, and Luminlay green inlays that glow in dark conditions, this neck is built for precision, comfort, and durability in equal measure.

Where this guitar truly separates itself from the rest of the Boden family is in its electronics. The .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman active humbucker system — developed in collaboration with Fishman specifically for this series — delivers a polychromatic tonal range through a selectable voice system. Voice 1 (Dynamic) offers medium output with a balanced, open frequency response that breathes with your playing, while Voice 2 (Precision) provides higher output with a tighter, more focused midrange built for modern high-gain textures. Controlled by a master volume, master tone with push/pull voice selection, and a 5-way lever switch, the tonal options are vast and entirely intuitive to dial in on the fly. The Arc TILT (Twin Incline Lever Technology) tremolo bridge rounds out the package, offering exceptional tuning stability, a wide range of expression, and fluid flutter that makes the tremolo a genuine performance tool rather than an afterthought.
