.strandberg* Sälen Classic NX 6 Butterscotch Blonde
The Sälen NX is the .strandberg* take on the legendary first solidbody electric guitar from the 1950’s: not a mere copy of this iconic guitar that changed the history of music but a thoughtful and innovative design that balances the best of the tried-and-true traditional with the thoroughly modern concepts that our guitars are known for. The Sälen NX is at once familiar and strikingly bold, vintage-and-futuristic, yesterday-and-tomorrow.
Due to its solidbody construction, Sälen NX Classic exhibits a punchier and snappier tactile response than the NX Deluxe, making it ideal for country players as well as rock and blues players who prefer the meatier and more solid feel that such a guitar provides. A true classic wood combination that has been heard in countless recordings over many decades, the Sälen NX Classic exudes a timeless nature that blends seamlessly with the modern .strandberg* design and innovative features.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
The Sälen takes a whole new direction with Mahogany woods and a dual humbucker setup to produce a warm, rich and clear sound that is also versatile and ideal to cover a wide range of playing styles and techniques. All the beloved features of the Sälen are maintained but the Jazz goes further with a chambered Mahogany body with a solid Maple top, F-hole, Mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard and a set of our new MF Classic humbuckers that provide both vintage-inspired humbucking and single-coil tones for the utmost in sonic versatility.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
One of the most versatile guitars that we have developed to date, the Sälen Jazz stands out in our lineup with its unique ability to get certain classic sounds that are only possible from Mahogany body and neck with dual humbucker configuration. The Sälen Jazz will produce tones that are thick, warm, and rich with an emphasis in the mid-midrange while maintaining the renowned clarity, definition, responsiveness and articulation that all of our guitars are known for. Although ideal for use with clean and low-to-medium gain sounds, the Classic humbuckers still provide plenty of kick for classic 70’s hard rock and 80’s metal sounds.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Sälen Jazz is for the serious and open-minded player whose musical taste covers the gamut from clean jazz and roots-oriented music to earthy blues and hard rock sounds. The look is all natural that accents the beauty of Mahogany and Rosewood, two of the greatest tone woods ever used on either the electric or acoustic guitar. This guitar is for the player who really wants to hear the tonal qualities of the woods, not the pickups. The MF Classic humbuckers are based on a genuine ’59 PAF but with more kick, clarity and harmonics to faithfully convey the natural sonic character to various amplification systems. Whether you are a working pro or a tone connoisseur hobbyist, the Sälen Jazz delivers the flexibility and inspiring tone for endless musical enjoyment.
The Sälen Jazz joins the Sälen family with a Mahogany body and neck, Rosewood fretboard, and a pair of our new MF Classic humbuckers to explore new tonal frontiers that only such a configuration can provide. From jazz and blues to classic rock and metal, the Sälen Jazz can cover them all and do so in a most convincing manner. With an all-natural and organic look, the Sälen Jazz delivers
