With their Boden Essential 6 electric guitar, Strandberg has raised the bar on pro-quality features, producing what Sweetwater players cite as the manufacturer’s most attainable axe ever. The major difference from other offerings? The Essential 6’s fingerboard opts for conventional fret placement while also helping new Strandberg players get to work without the learning curve of multi-scale frets. The Boden Essential 6 features a meranti body ? a hard wood with a balanced, flexible sound that readily adapts to different playing styles, much like the basswood used in pricier models. The neck is made from ultra-stable roasted maple and inscribed with a game-changing ergonomic EndurNeck profile for energizing comfort and infinite range. Moreover, the Boden Essential 6 features OEM humbuckers made by Strandberg. These pickups are equally fit for low-gain applications as well as fully saturated sonic romps. Throw in a hard-working EGS Arc fixed bridge along with stainless steel frets, and the Strandberg Boden Essential 6 earns its spot in any discerning guitarist’s stable.

Supportive, blissfully carved tonewoods





Though Strandberg priced it to fit comfortably into the working musician’s budget, the Boden Essential 6 is equipped with quality tonewoods that capture what makes pricier Bodens such a hit. It all starts with a meranti body, a wood prized by many of today’s top manufacturers for its balanced sound and quality sustain. Move farther up this incredible instrument, and its roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard are sure to please. Sweetwater guitarists rank Strandberg necks and fingerboards as constant favorites, thanks to their silky-smooth feel and optimized ergonomics. Everything is constructed to Strandberg’s incredibly high and exacting standards, ensuring the Boden Essential 6 is a road- and studio-ready workhorse.





Original OEM humbuckers deliver wide-ranging tone





To give the Boden Essential 6 tone that’s authentically Strandberg, Strandberg naturally chose a pair of their in-house-designed OEM humbuckers. These pickups are constructed with the same care and accuracy as all Strandberg’s offerings, ensuring a top-quality tone in all settings. As for the sound? OEM humbuckers dish out everything from squeaky cleans to gut-punching grind and everything in between. The Boden Essential 6 is a solid go-to choice for genre hoppers or anyone in need of a dependable, high-performing machine.
