.strandberg*

$3,375.00 CAD

Visually sleek and futuristic, the Metal NX model was designed for over-the-top metal sounds that are still articulate and expressive as well as being exceptionally versatile to cover various other genres of music. The name of this model certainly belies what is hidden beneath its aggressive yet refined look. From brutal heavy to crystalline clean and everything in between, the Metal delivers them all with authority and supreme musicality. The 6-string model now features the passive Suhr™ Aldrich set for a more organic feel while delivering loads of punchy output for high-gain distortion.

ANATOMY OF A STRANDBERG

There are many design elements and factors that comprise a .strandberg* guitar. Each aspect - from the materials and components used to the ergonomic design features - has been carefully thought out and implemented to produce a guitar that is light weight, easy to play and has a big woody organic sound. Explore these different aspects that set a .strandberg* guitar apart from the rest.

HEADLESS

By removing weight from the headstock, your guitar can be made very light and yet balanced. You can play with greater comfort for longer.

VERSATILE BODY SHAPE

The body shape provides multiple seated playing positions for maximum comfort and versatility.

SCALE LENGTHS ADAPTED TO YOU

A multi-scale design allows your wrist to remain relaxed throughout the range of play. A longer scale length for the heavier strings provide better tone, and shorter in the thinner strings better playability.

PATENTED NECK PROFILE

Our patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a more correct playing position. The result: you can play longer, faster, better and avoid injury.

SPACE AGE MATERIALS

Our hunt for great tone and low weight led us to using aircraft grade aluminium and carbon fiber for maximum performance.

PROPRIETARY HARDWARE

The custom .strandberg* hardware is a vital contributor to the tone of the instrument. Lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and tight coupling of components ensure that nothing prevents the strings' vibrations from entering the body.
