Description
A decade of .strandberg* Original evolution
The Original series guitars were the first serial-produced instruments offered by .strandberg*, and 2025 marks perhaps the most significant year yet for this monumental series of guitars. The new curved body top design offers sweeping body lines with an even more comfortable playing experience than before, and the new Titanium-reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck makes for the most stable .strandberg* neck to date with added sonic clarity that makes notes and chords ring out with sparkle and chime. The Original N2 also comes equipped with the new .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups that deliver passive tone and dynamics combined with selectable voicings to handle modern fluent distortion sounds as well as classic crunch, and vintage cleans with fidelity and authority. The Original N2 also features the new multi-scale EGS ARC hardware, which provides full-body contact, enhancing resonance and sustain while facilitating easier setup adjustments and maintenance.
The Boden Original N2.8 is the perfect .strandberg* for demanding players looking for the latest version of the renowned .strandberg* ergonomic design and exuberant harmonics combined with the solid performance of EGS ARC hardware and the groundbreaking versatility of the .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups.
