From an early age, Rhythm stood out at international competitions, earning acclaim for his precision, creativity, and versatility. His ability to move seamlessly between genres—ranging from jazz and rock to Indian classical and contemporary fusion—has made him a sought-after musician both in India and abroad.
Rhythm has toured globally, captivating audiences with his dynamic performances and innovative sound. He has also had the honor of collaborating with some of the most respected names in the music world, including A.R. Rahman, Louiz Banks, Zakir Hussain, and German fingerstyle legend Peter Finger.
Whether in the studio or on stage, Rhythm continues to push the boundaries of what the guitar can do—bridging cultures, genres, and traditions with every note he plays.
“The ergonomics, weight, and balance of the Strandberg make it incredibly easy and inspiring to play. This is my first extended range guitar, and thanks to how comfortable it is—even with an extra string or two—it never felt alien. In fact, I ended up writing multiple tunes in a single sitting! It really opened up a whole new creative space for me to explore. Whether in the studio or on stage, it’s extremely responsive, and its lightweight, thoughtful design has become an essential part of my creative process.”
Solidbody construction with the same key .strandberg* design and features
Boden Standard NX 8 Natural
The Boden Standard Series guitars were developed to provide the same key features that our guitars are acclaimed for but with solidbody construction, our own design pickups, and figured Maple top veneers to reduce costs and offer a line that delivers outstanding value as well as topflight performance. The solidbody has a distinctively different kind of sound and response than the chambered body and it isn’t better or worse: just different and a matter of personal preference.
