Very similar to the groundbreaking Original model, the Prog is essentially a tremolo version with Ebony fretboard for a slicker feel and a slightly more cutting tone. Exceptionally light in weight and scientifically engineered for comfort and to reduce tension in your arms, the Prog features a chambered Swamp Ash body with premium grade Flame Maple top and a Roasted Maple neck with Ebony fretboard for great acoustic resonance with more bite in the highs.

The EGS Pro tremolo system machined out of aircraft grade aluminum plays a major part in the Boden’s unique acoustic sonic character as well as providing an extremely smooth and responsive tremolo usage. Implementing a traditional fulcrum tremolo design with the rout for the tremolo springs, the Prog models exhibit a more “open” sonic character than the fixed bridge Original.
