Strandberg Salen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black

The Sälen models have been highly acclaimed and used by guitar players who wanted all the benefits of the groundbreaking Boden models but in a slightly more traditional looking package with a single cutaway. There was just one missing feature that had been requested for years: tremolo. Finally, the Sälen is available with the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo bridge and dual humbuckers that Sälen players have been requesting for exceptional versatility as well as topflight performance.

In addition to these new features, the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black also features an arm bevel for greater playing comfort. Featuring a solid Okoume body for a warm yet punchy acoustic character coupled with quartersawn Maple EndurNeck™ and Birdseye Maple fretboard and our specially designed OEM humbucker pickups wound to our specifications, the Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black is capable of covering musical genres and styles ranging from metal and classic rock to pop and jazz. The Sälen is no longer Boden’s kid brother anymore. It has arrived as a model that stands on its own as an instrument that covers all musical bases.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black provides all the acclaimed features of the Sälen but is equipped with the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo system to add greater versatility with vibrato effects and textures. Dual humbuckers and the 5-way switch with custom wiring provide a plethora of great humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover virtually any musical genre and playing style. The Sälen’s unique body shape exudes a more traditional and classy aesthetic as well as modernism that is eye-catching as it is ergonomically functional.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black was designed, engineered, and produced to be the most versatile Sälen model ever. With the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo system, the Sälen is now capable of producing a wide range of vibrato effects and textures that had only been possible on Boden models equipped with the same tremolo system. Robust, solid, smooth, and reliable, the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo is easy to operate and stays in tune. The .strandberg* OEM humbuckers were specially designed and wound to our specifications to faithfully convey the unique natural acoustic characteristics of our guitars to your amplification systems. The 5-way switch is custom wired to provide the most versatile set of humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover a wide variety of musical genres.

WHO IS IT FOR?
The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black is for the forward-thinking musician who appreciates the aesthetic and styling of the Sälen model but needs the added flexibility of a tremolo system. With dual humbucker .strandberg* OEM pickups and custom 5-way wiring, the flexibility and versatility this model offers makes the Sälen Classic 6 Tremolo an ideal instrument for the working musician who needs reliability and portability for performance, recording, and practice. Our most versatile Sälen model ever, it provides all the great features of Boden and previous Sälen models to inspire you to play your very best day-in day-out, night after.
