Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition Black
The Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition provides many of the acclaimed features of the wildly popular and beloved Sälen Jazz but is equipped with the EGS Rev 7 tremolo bridge to add greater versatility with vibrato effects and textures. There are two versions of this model available: one with the .strandberg* Plini Edition bridge humbucker and the other with the Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker. The .strandberg* Plini Edition bridge humbucker wound by the late Michael Frank has a slightly warmer yet more balanced and modern sound while the Suhr™ SSH+ provides a more traditional humbucker sound with slightly more gain and cutting high-mids.
All the other specs are identical with the Suhr™ Classic T single-coil pickup in the neck position and a 3-way switch with custom wiring and one volume pot to 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.

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.

By removing weight from the headstock, your guitar can be made very light and yet balanced. You can play with greater comfort for longer.

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.

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.
