.strandberg* Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo Black

The tremolo-equipped and powerful .strandberg* Sälen Classic

The Sälen Classic was first released in 2018 due to popular request for a solid-body .strandberg* with more classic single-cut styling combined with the design benefits of its Boden siblings. The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo originates from the same place while adding a powerful HH pickup configuration and EGS Rev7 tremolo bridge to take this archetypal design in an alternate direction. The solid Okoume body and Maple neck create a balanced tonal character and the EndurNeck neck profile and multi-scale design provide the ergonomic playing experience that .strandberg* players have come to know and love. The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo is the perfect .strandberg* for demanding players looking for a single-cut guitar with a tremolo bridge and a deeper, more powerful voice

One-of-a-kind headless design

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s headless design removes mass from the headstock for lower weight and improved balance to play marathon sets in total comfort. On the other end, Strandberg’s custom bridge hardware makes an important contribution to the instrument’s tone. Made of lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, the EGS Tremolo Rev 7 bridge's tight component coupling ensures that all the strings’ vibrations are optimally transferred to the tonewoods. Plus, you’ll easily unleash subtle tone dips and massive dives!

EndurNeck profile and bolt-on design for comfort and playability

At first glance, Strandberg’s acclaimed EndurNeck profile is sure to draw a few questions with its unique shape. Here, guitarists will all tell you the same thing: the EndurNeck feels even better than it looks. The carbon fiber-reinforced neck sports a rear-shafted trapezoid shape, possessing incredible comfort and noticeable stability. Almost magically, you will feel your grip significantly relax when playing an EndurNeck, leading to longer playing times and fewer injuries. The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s bolt-on construction, paired with a deep single-cut design, offers easy access to the upper register for increased playability and a more focused punch — a welcome feature uncommon for many other bolt-on guitars.

Multi-scale bird’s-eye maple fingerboard

The Sälen Classic NX 6 Tremolo’s beautifully figured bird’s-eye maple fingerboard is more than just a feast for the eyes. Its multi-scale configuration assigns each string a unique scale length, allowing low strings to intonate better at high tension and making high-string bends a breeze. Not to mention, its 24 jumbo frets are made from stainless steel — a player-favorite fret material for its incredible resistance to wear over time.
