Only five units of each model will be available worldwide, making each unit an extremely rare and special guitar that will only increase in value with each passing year.
An evolution of a revolution
At its inception 10 years ago, the Boden featured a truly revolutionary design, including the patented EndurNeck. Over the years, the original Boden design has largely remain unchanged but many fine tweaks have been made to the hardware as well as other areas of the guitar to maximize the overall performance and reliability. Eventually, the Boden evolved with various wood combinations for different acoustic properties and overall feel for players seeking certain kinds of sounds and response. This demand, acquired through years of Made to Measure and Custom Shop offerings, resulted in the creation of the Original, Prog, Fusion, Metal and Standard guitar models and, finally, the Boden Bass.
Cutting-edge futuristic yet familiar and organic
The Boden design offers a unique yet cohesive union of modern innovation and tried-and-true tradition. Cutting-edge technology is fused with the most organic of materials – wood – to not only allow you to play the best of your ability with unmatched comfort but also sound better than you ever have before. Sleek and fast-playing, the Boden design facilitates comfort so you can focus on your playing and the music. The tone woods underneath the futuristic look produce the sounds and the feel that you have come to love: Swamp Ash, Maple, Alder, Basswood, Ebony, Pau Ferro. Combined with the lightweight aircraft grade aluminum, the Boden’s unique acoustic character is exceptionally clear and balanced yet rich and organic. The 10th Anniversary Limited Edition guitars and basses are not only eye-catching and beautiful to look at but they will also take your sound and playing to new heights for many years to come.

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.
