Here for sale we have a Strandberg Boden Standard NX 8 headless electric 8-string guitar in Charcoal finish. Made in Indonesia in 2022, this instrument features a bolt-on construction comprising an American Basswood body with Flame Maple veneer, Quartersawn Maple neck with Carbon Fiber reinforcement and a 24 fret Maple fingerboard.Anodized Black hardware is fitted including a Strandberg EGS Rev7 fixed bridge with integrated tuners. A pair of Strandberg Custom OEM 8-String humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 5-way blade switch and master volume & tone controls. The Quartersawn Maple neck plays exceptionally well, with the 'EndurNeck' profile offering a unique playing experience that whilst unusual at first does encourage ergonomic thumb positioning in all registers. The flattened area to the rear transitions smoothly from the bass side to the treble side as you climb the neck, following the line your thumb would naturally take as you move from chord playing in the lower register to lead lines in the higher frets. The pronounced edges of the profile actually offer comfortable anchor points for the thumb to rest on. The notably flat 20" fingerboard radius is highly practical for lead lines and soloing, and along with the large stainless steel frets ensures that your string bending and vibrato techniques are a smooth and effortless affair. The pair of Strandberg Custom OEM 8-String humbucking pickups deliver clear and precise tones, just as you would expect from such a laser-focussed instrument. Clean sounds are rich and shimmering, especially in the bridge position which is nice and bright. The warmth and roundness of the neck pickup is well suited to lead lines and solos, which with the power that active circuitry delivers easily cuts through even the densest of mixes. Both pickups can handle a serious amount of gain, saturating into a rich harmonic distortion as you crank the gain control on the amp. The control layout is restrained, offering comprehensive tonal control without over-complicating things. A striking looking instrument with the specification and precision to back up its outlandish aesthetics.
