Strandberg Boden Essential BD6CT Astro Dust w/Gig Bag

5 lbs., 1.7 oz.

We near-sourced the body materials for minimum environmental impact and chose Meranti (grown in Indonesia) due to its light weight and resonance. Our stringent wood selection process ensures the lightest and most resonant pieces. Meranti shares many of Mahogany’s properties and provides a familiar tactile response and tonal character.

Roasted Maple neck is back in one-piece construction instead of the Boden’s usual multi-laminate and carbon fiber reinforcement. It is by no means a step back when considering that one-piece construction has been in use for electric guitar necks for over 70 years. It offers a different feel and sound – a little more traditional with more warmth in the midrange while the multi-laminate neck is brighter and punchier. The ever-popular Rosewood is used for fretboard with a scale length of 25.5”. The revolutionary EndurNeck ™, stainless steel frets, and glow-in-the-dark inlays and dots retain the unmistakable look, feel, and playability of the .strandberg* neck.
