When Strandberg’s Boden debuted, few could have predicted the headless guitar’s seismic impact on the guitar community. Now, the impressive legacy continues with the Strandberg Boden Original N2.6, a multi-scale powerhouse that elevates every defining feature of the Boden Original series. Premium tonewoods, including swamp ash and maple in roasted, bird’s-eye, and flame varieties, pair with the new EGS Arc hardware, while the groundbreaking EndurNeck profile delivers unmatched multi-scale comfort. Titanium reinforcements in the roasted maple neck make the N2.6 Strandberg’s most dimensionally stable design yet. Our Guitar Gallery is particularly impressed by the addition of Strandberg POWR:D by Fishman pickups, engineered in collaboration to deliver cutting-edge sonic performance. With its retooled body contouring and signature headless design, the Boden Original N2.6 captures the visionary spirit that has made this line a mainstay of modern guitar mastery.

POWR:D by Fishman — two visionaries collide

Among the many subtle-to-striking enhancements in the Boden Original line, the N2.6’s circuitry suite stands out as one of the most transformative, born from the collaboration of Strandberg and Fishman. The aptly named POWR:D by Fishman active pickups bring Fishman’s celebrated voicing versatility to Strandberg’s distinctive sonic ecosystem. This polychromatic palette offers selectable voice options, capturing everything from passive-style headroom and transparent dynamic range to classic-era character and modern-metal aggression — all with shimmering depth, sustain, and harmonic detail. The N2.6 keeps tone shaping intuitive, with a 5-way blade switch, Master Volume and Tone knobs, and a push-pull coil split on the Tone control, making on-the-fly tonal adjustments effortless.

Uncompromising quality, from sound to stability

From its core unplugged output to rigs of the utmost processing power, the aural identity of the Strandberg Boden Original N2.6 pulls no punches, owing to the premier tonewoods selected by the company’s luthiers. The axe starts with a swamp ash body topped with flame-veneered maple, pumping out laser-focused sounds with soaring sustain and enduring resonance. A roasted maple neck is outfitted with titanium reinforcement rods, enhancing stability to the utmost extent while augmenting your sonic aperture with shimmering brightness and smoldering spectrum-spanning warmth that won’t cave to changes in climate that plague every road warrior’s touring experience. Rounding out these top-tier tonewoods is a smooth as glass, roasted bird's-eye maple fingerboard, teeming with natural note-separating voicing and guaranteed to send your fretting hand from head(less) to heel in no time.

Masterfully balanced headless design

The Boden Original N2.6's headless design removes mass from the headstock for lower weight and improved balance, allowing you to play marathon sets in total comfort. On the other end, the N2 line marks the debut of Strandberg's sustain-inducing and resonance-enhancing EGS Arc Hardtail bridge and String Lock, crafted explicitly to amplify the performance of multi-scale instruments, leveraging ultra-precise engineering for maximum full-body contact with the hardware. Also new to the N2 line, revamped body contouring includes a carefully curved top and elegant finesse-filled lines of the body’s rear side, expanding comfort and control with equal aplomb.

EndurNeck: designed for maximum comfort and performance

At first glance, Strandberg's acclaimed EndurNeck profile is sure to draw a few questions with its unique shape. Here, guitarists will all tell you the same thing: the EndurNeck feels even better than it looks. The titanium-reinforced neck sports a rear-shafted trapezoid shape, possessing incredible comfort and noticeable stability. Almost magically, you will feel your grip significantly relax when playing an EndurNeck, leading to longer playing times and fewer injuries. The Boden Original N2.6's bolt-on construction, paired with a deep double-cut design, offers easy access to the upper register for increased playability and a more focused punch — a welcome feature uncommon for many other bolt-on guitars.

Roasted multi-scale musicality

The fingerboard of a Strandberg is instantly recognizable for its multi-scale configuration that assigns each string a unique scale length. This design allows low strings to intonate better at high tension and makes bending high strings a breeze. The Boden Original N2.6's EndurNeck is capped by a 20-inch-radius bird's-eye maple fingerboard with a 25–25.5-inch scale length. Not to mention, its 24 frets are made from stainless steel — a player-favorite fret material for its incredible resistance to wear over time.
