Please note: This gutiar includes a gig bag.

A new revolution through evolution

Since its introduction in 2024, the Boden Essential has become a landmark instrument in the world of electric guitars. An instrument that has found itself at home in the hands of players all over the world and every musical genre imaginable. We now introduce the Boden Essential 6 Tremolo featuring the revolutionary Arc TILT tremolo bridge to take an already celebrated guitar into new expressive heights.

The Boden Essential 6 Trem is the perfect .strandberg* for contemporary players looking for a solid performance tool that effortlessly combine simplicity and versatility with expressive possibilities.

Arc TILT tremolo system 
The revolutionary Arc TILT (Twin Incline Lever Technology) tremolo system utilizes an offset pivot point configuration, a unique tremolo block and baseplate design, and a new tremolo arm attachment to provide immaculate tuning stability, increased tremolo range, excellent flutter capabilities, and the smoothest possible tremolo action.

Roasted 1-Piece EndurNeck
The Boden Essential necks are constructed from a single piece of strong and durable Roasted Maple, in contrast to the multi-laminated necks of their more exclusive siblings. This traditional design creates a stable and comfortable neck that is also more cost-effective to manufacture without sacrificing the ergonomic benefits of the EndurNeck profile.

Solid light-weight body
A .strandberg* guitar is always light, resonant, and comfortable, but there are different ways to accomplish this that influence the sonic properties and manufacturing complexity. The solid Meranti bodies of the Essential series instruments are lightweight and strong, with a focused tone that’s strong in the midrange, while also being a material that is sustainably grown.

Patented EndurNeck™ – Effortless playability, maximum comfort
Designed to revolutionize the way you play, our patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a natural, relaxed hand position. The ergonomic shape enhances endurance and reduces strain, allowing for faster, more fluid movement across the fretboard. Experience greater control, comfort, and effortless technique - whether on stage or in the studio.

Sculpted for performance – The iconic .strandberg* body design
Every curve, contour, and bevel of a .strandberg* guitar is crafted with one purpose - ultimate playability. Our unique body shapes ensure unmatched balance and comfort, adapting seamlessly to your playing style. Whether seated or standing, the design offers effortless access to every fret, making extended playing sessions feel intuitive and natural.

Super lightweight & ergonomic – Play longer, play better
A .strandberg* guitar is engineered for extended play without fatigue. By eliminating the heavy headstock and optimizing weight distribution, our guitars remain light, perfectly balanced, and effortlessly comfortable. Whether you're practicing for hours or performing on stage, you'll experience freedom of movement like never before.

Designed with purpose. Built for greatness.
What started as Ola Strandberg’s passion project in the 1980s has become a revolutionary force in guitar design. Relentless innovation and an uncompromising pursuit of perfection have led to industry-defining instruments that inspire players worldwide.
