Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition Black

What Makes It Special?

The Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition provides all the acclaimed features of the wildly popular and beloved Sälen Jazz but is equipped with the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo bridge to add greater versatility with vibrato effects and textures. The .strandberg* Plini Edition or Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker and the Suhr™ Classic T single-coil pickup with the 3-way switch with custom wiring and one volume pot provide a plethora of great humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover virtually any musical genre and playing style with minimalist simplicity. 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 NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition was designed in conjunction with Plini and was engineered and produced to be sonically versatile but aesthetically minimalist. 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 7 tremolo is easy to operate and stays in tune. The .strandberg* Plini Edition or Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker and the Suhr™ Classic T single-coil pickup deliver a wide range of sounds from heavy and mean to twangy and warm. The 3-way switch is custom wired to provide three exceptional sounds that respond with superb sensitivity to volume pot adjustments. Sometimes less is indeed more.

Who Is It For?

The Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition 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 the unique combination of the .strandberg* Plini Edition or Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker and Suhr™ Classic T single-coil with 3-way custom wiring, the flexibility and versatility this model offers makes the Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition an ideal instrument for the tone connoisseur as well as serious musicians who appreciate innovative modern industrial design and aesthetics.

The Sälen models have been highly acclaimed and used by guitar players who wanted all the benefits of the groundbreaking Boden models but in a slightly more traditional looking package with a single cutaway. There was just one missing feature that had been requested for years: tremolo. Plini is one of those players who has loved and played the Sälen for years but wanted a tremolo version built to his specifications. Now, Plini’s dream Sälen is a reality and available to all.

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.

What our artists say

The extremely talented artists who play .strandberg* guitars have a clear vision of where they want to take their art and how to get there with the instruments they play. The guitar they choose to play is a statement of who they are as an artist and a reflection of the music they create. Find out why some of the most cutting-edge players in the world today choose a .strandberg*.
