About this listing
The Boden Standard Series guitars were developed to provide the same key features that Strandberg guitars are acclaimed for but with solidbody construction, their own design pickups, and figured Maple top veneers to reduce costs and offer a line that delivers outstanding value as well as top flight performance. The solidbody has a distinctively different kind of sound and response than the chambered body and it isn’t better or worse: just different and a matter of personal preference.The Boden Standard was developed to provide great majority of the premium features found on such models as the Original, Prog, and Fusion but with a solid American Basswood body, Quilted or Flame Maple veneers on a solid 5 mm Maple top and our own specially designed pickups. The result is a lineup of guitars that provides all of the distinctive characteristics and key features that the Boden guitars are known for at a superb value for the working musician. All Standard models feature Roasted Maple necks and fretboards with the EndurNeck profile, Luminlay face and side dots, Jescar stainless steel frets and the innovative .strandberg* hardware as on all of their guitars.The combination of Basswood with a solid Maple top and Maple neck/fretboard is considered the “Holy Grail” of electric guitar wood combinations by many top guitar builders and artists alike, producing an ideal balance between warmth, punch, brilliance and sustain for an extremely well-rounded sound that’ll excel at virtually any musical genre or playing style. Our pickups were custom designed and wound to our specifications to bring out the best acoustic properties of the woods and hardware for a very balanced and rich sound through any amplification system.The Standard models are for players who do not require high-end features such as chambered body, 4-A grade figured top/fretboard, and name brand pickups but require the same premium look, sound and features that provide the performance they need as well as long-lasting value. Like our Classic models, the solidbody construction offers a different type of feel and sound than the chambered-body guitars but still delivers the trademark .strandberg* clarity, articulation, sustain, and warm woody character that our guitars have become known for.GENERALBolt-On ConstructionSolid Body with Arm, Torso and Heel CarvesSolid Maple top with Book-matched Flame Maple VeneerBasswood BodyFinish: Trans Black Semi-gloss PolyurethaneApproximate Weight 2.5 kg / 5.5 lbs +/- 10% (7-string)Manufactured in IndonesiaNECK & FRETSRoasted Maple Neck, Carbon Fiber reinforcedEndurNeck™ ProfileRoasted Maple Fretboard20″ Fretboard Radius24 FretsJescar 51100 Stainless Steel Fretwire (57110 for zero-fret)D’Addario NYXL 095-64 (7-string)Standard tuning BEADGBE (7-string)SONIC PROFILEH – H Pickup ConfigurationNeck: .strandberg* designed passiveBridge: .strandberg* designed passive5-Way Pickup SelectorNeck Series HumbuckingNeck Outer CoilNeck Outer Coil + Bridge Outer Coil in parallelNeck Inner Coil + Bridge Inner Coil in parallelBridge Series HumbuckingMaster Volume + Master ToneHARDWARE.strandberg* EGS Series 5 fixed bridge & string locksBlack HardwareOriginal Luminlay™ Green Side DotsOriginal Luminlay™ Green InlaysACCESSORIESStandard Lightweight Gig Bag includedAllen Key Kit included*The photos used in this listing are stock photos provided via Strandberg and not the exact instrument you will receive. **During the course of manufacturing of this guitar model, the color of the roasted maple has varied to some degree. The wood is roasted to achieve the desired properties (tonal response and dimensional stability in different weather conditions) and not to a certain color. This means that the color sometimes does not match that of the Stock product photos, which were taken of the first produced sample guitars. Strandberg are working on a revised process and acquiring new equipment for roasting maple that will give them greater control of the results, which should be in place in 2021. Until then, if you have any concerns about the color of the roasted maple neck or fretboard before ordering, please reach out to us through email, and we will be happy to send you a photo in advance.Please note the bulk of what we sell is MADE IN THE USA and as a result is not subject to tariffs etc. With respect to items that are not Made in the USA, we cover any tariffs on our end.
