The Boden Original Series

Based on the first concept prototypes with the original specifications, the Original can be deemed the model that started a revolution in modern guitar design and takes the electric guitar into the 21st century. Exceptionally light in weight and scientifically engineered for comfort and to reduce tension in your arms, the Original features a chambered Swamp Ash body with premium grade Flame Maple top and a Roasted Maple neck and Birdseye Maple fretboard to produce a lively acoustic resonance you can feel in your hands and against your body.

Boden Original Specs

The individual bridge pieces machined out of aircraft grade aluminum play a vital role in the Boden’s unique acoustic character – clear, organic and balanced with a fast and articulate pick attack. The unique hardware coupled with the Swamp Ash and Maple woods combine to provide a sound that is at once warm and woody as well as tight and punchy and which is amazingly responsive to the most minute subtleties of your touch. You will hear details in your playing that you have not heard before and which you can shape to bring out all the individual characteristics of your unique playing style.

Electronics-wise, Original models are equipped with the Suhr passive pickups (SSH+ in the bridge and SSV in the neck) for the 6-string model and the Fishman active pickups (the Fluence Modern ceramic in the bridge and the alnico in the neck) for the 7- and 8-string models to deliver the natural acoustic characteristics of the guitar faithfully and powerfully to your favorite amplification systems while offering the sonic flexibility to suit virtually all musical genres and playing styles.
