“The first time I picked up a .strandberg* was actually when I purchased my very first Boden OS6 in 2015. I was immediately taken aback and fell in love with the headless design and forward-thinking approach to ergonomics. Ola has created a special line of instruments which have been a dream to play, and I hope to continue playing them for many, many years to come.”

The original design, refined and perfected for the present and the future

Boden Fusion NX 6

Versatile and suitable for a wide range of musical styles and genres, the Fusion NX is especially well suited for low-to-medium gain settings, making it ideal for genres such as blues, pop, funk, reggae, jazz, fusion, and classic rock where extreme high gain settings are usually not needed. The Fusion exhibits a warm, rich and full midrange with its chambered Alder body and Indian Rosewood fretboard. The versatile HSH pickup configuration provides superb classic humbucking and single coil sounds that are clear and articulate to convey the nuances of your playing style.
