The pinnacle of the highly acclaimed Boden Metal design

The Boden ‘Metal’ Neckthrough

What makes it special?

The neck-thru-body design and construction facilitates unparalleled playability in the upper register of the fretboard while providing a unique punchy tone with improved sustain. Light weight and superbly balanced for hours of playing comfort, the extended EndurNeck profile across the entire length of the neck means the benefits of the design is maximized to further enhance your playing. Visually, the instrument is strikingly sleek and refined with an ideal balance between forward-thinking innovation and time-tested traditional. Tonally, the Metal NT can cover any musical style from the most brutal metal rhythms and searing leads to sparkling clean arpeggiated chords and warm jazzy tones.

What does it do?

Besides the amazing playability and comfort, the Boden Metal NT delivers a wide palette of musical sounds with a distinct sonic character due to its neck-thru-body construction. Compared to the bolt-on, the sound is punchier and more focused with enhanced sustain. The woods were carefully selected and matched to maximize the natural acoustic characteristics of the design and construction. Basswoods’s warm and full midrange made it ideal for the chambered body wings. Combined with the 5-ply carbon fiber reinforced Roasted Maple neck-thru-body, solid Maple top and Ebony fretboard which provide rigidity, focus and cutting brilliance, the Metal NT has an exceptionally balanced acoustic character. The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic magnet bridge and alnico magnet neck humbuckers with dual push-pull pots offer an extremely wide range of great modern and traditional humbucker and single-coil sounds.

Who is it for?

The Metal NT is for the advanced and uncompromising musician who requires the ultimate in performance, playability and sonic versatility. The forward-looking instrument reflects the vision of an artist who seeks to balance the past with the future to explore new musical territories, going well beyond what has been achieved in the past. Looking to break out of the classic/vintage rut? The Metal NT defines where the electric guitar is going in the New Millennium.

The pinnacle of the Boden design, the Boden Metal NT features incredible upper register access and unparalleled playing comfort while providing extreme tonal versatility to cover virtually any playing style of musical genre. Chambered Basswood body wings, solid Maple top, Roasted Maple neck-thru-body, and Ebony fretboard are seamlessly combined in a visually striking design for a brilliant and tight yet full-sounding tone that can cut through any mix with a focused punch that is characteristic of the neck-thru-body construction. Our new .strandberg* Metal passive pickups in HH configuration provide everything from pulverizing high-gain humbucker aggression to sweet and singing clean single-coil sounds that are suitable for virtually all playing styles and musical genres.

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.
