The Sälen Classic NX

What Makes It Special?

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black provides all the acclaimed features of the Sälen but is equipped with the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo system to add greater versatility with vibrato effects and textures. Dual humbuckers and the 5-way switch with custom wiring provide a plethora of great humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover virtually any musical genre and playing style. The Sälen’s unique body shape exudes a more traditional and classy aesthetic as well as modernism that is eye-catching as it is ergonomically functional.

What Does It Do?

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black was designed, engineered, and produced to be the most versatile Sälen model ever. With the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo system, the Sälen is now capable of producing a wide range of vibrato effects and textures that had only been possible on Boden models equipped with the same tremolo system. Robust, solid, smooth, and reliable, the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo is easy to operate and stays in tune. The .strandberg* OEM humbuckers were specially designed and wound to our specifications to faithfully convey the unique natural acoustic characteristics of our guitars to your amplification systems. The 5-way switch is custom wired to provide the most versatile set of humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover a wide variety of musical genres.

Who Is It For?

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black is for the forward-thinking musician who appreciates the aesthetic and styling of the Sälen model but needs the added flexibility of a tremolo system. With dual humbucker .strandberg* OEM pickups and custom 5-way wiring, the flexibility and versatility this model offers makes the Sälen Classic 6 Tremolo an ideal instrument for the working musician who needs reliability and portability for performance, recording, and practice. Our most versatile Sälen model ever, it provides all the great features of Boden and previous Sälen models to inspire you to play your very best day-in day-out, night after night.

Sälen NX Concept

Unique Qualities

Anatomy of a Strandberg

There are many design elements and factors that comprise a .strandberg* guitar. Each aspect - from the materials and components used to the ergonomic design features - has been carefully thought out and implemented to produce a guitar that is light weight, easy to play and has a big woody organic sound. Explore these different aspects that set a .strandberg* guitar apart from the rest.

Headless

By removing weight from the headstock, your guitar can be made very light and yet balanced. You can play with greater comfort for longer.

Versatile Body Shape

The body shape provides multiple seated playing positions for maximum comfort and versatility.

Scale Lengths Adapted to You

A multi-scale design allows your wrist to remain relaxed throughout the range of play. A longer scale length for the heavier strings provide better tone, and shorter in the thinner strings better playability.

Patented Neck Profile

Our patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a more correct playing position. The result: you can play longer, faster, better and avoid injury.

Space Age Materials

Our hunt for great tone and low weight led us to using aircraft grade aluminium and carbon fiber for maximum performance.

Proprietary Hardware

The custom .strandberg* hardware is a vital contributor to the tone of the instrument. Lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and tight coupling of components ensure that nothing prevents the strings' vibrations from entering the body.
