A masterful instrument designed for a legendary master of fusion
Boden Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
The Boden Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition was designed and spec’d for the fusion, shred, and modern jazz players who seek a warmer and full-bodied sound. Featuring a lightweight chambered Alder body mated with solid Maple top and premium grade Flame veneer along with carbon reinforced Maple neck and Rosewood fretboard, the Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition is acoustically resonant with a big, full, and rich sound that is faithfully delivered to your amplification system with the .strandberg* Alex Machacek Edition passive pickups with medium hot output. The Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition is equipped with the EGS Rev7 Tremolo System that operates smoothly while providing excellent tuning stability.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
The acoustic character of the Boden Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition is lively and balanced with superb articulation for both rhythm and lead playing but with a warmer and fuller sound than the Original or Prog NX due to the Alder body and Rosewood fretboard. Tonally, it emphasizes the mid-midrange that nicely fills up the sound spectrum and which makes it ideal for playing in a small ensemble. The patented EndurNeck provides both comfort and strength to your forearm and wrist, allowing you to play longer without fatigue and with improved technique so you can focus on your playing and music. The new Rev7 hardware facilitates quick string changes and setup work to keep your guitar in optimum playing condition. The new Venture Gig Bag allows you to take your Boden anywhere with comfort, ease, and robust protection for virtually any environment.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Boden Fusion NX Alex Machacek Edition is for the forward-thinking musician who is not held back by traditions and is always seeking to innovate and break new ground, even in traditional genres and musical styles. The tremolo system of the Fusion NX expands the tonal and technical palettes for the adventurous musician who is not afraid to take chances. Embracing the best of the past but incorporating new concepts such as headless design, multi-scale construction, the radically innovative EndurNeck™, and aircraft grade aluminum hardware, the Boden design has stood the test of time and continues to evolve and expand into new frontiers to help modern musicians to be the very best they can be.

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.
