{"product_id":"strandberg-boden-essential-6-sage-leaf","title":"Strandberg Boden Essential 6 Sage Leaf","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrandberg Boden Essential 6 Sage Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most affordable model in the catalogue and the shortest route to finding out how a headless guitar actually plays. A meranti body in satin Sage Leaf, a roasted maple neck with the EndurNeck profile and Arc hardware add up to 2.15 kg across an overall length of 800 mm. Unlike the Boden Original and Standard lines, the Essential 6 runs a straight 25.5 inch scale and passive pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne guitar for rehearsal, studio and the commute\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving the headstock brings the instrument down to 800 mm, so the case fits where a conventional electric no longer does, and the balance point stays in the body instead of pulling the neck down on a strap. The 2.15 kg weight is the kind of difference you notice in the second hour of a rehearsal, especially standing up. A straight 25.5 inch scale, 20 inch fretboard radius and 42 mm nut mean string spacing and tension match a standard headstock guitar, so neither your technique nor your string stock needs rethinking. DHP 28HFS stainless steel frets take heavy practice hours without wearing string grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive configurations from two passive humbuckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridge carries a .strandberg* Custom Hum Hot with 53 mm spacing, the neck a Custom Hum Vintage with 50 mm spacing. The five-way switch goes beyond simple pickup selection: position two joins the bridge humbucker with the outer coil of the neck pickup, position three adds the inner coil in series with it, and position four leaves the neck inner coil on its own. In practice that covers everything from dense rhythm parts to a clearer, more open sound for accompaniment and for tracking inside a busy mix. The electronics are passive, so there is no battery to check before a show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadless build, 800 mm overall length, 2.15 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeranti body in satin Sage Leaf finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted maple neck with EndurNeck profile, bolt-on construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight 25.5 inch scale with a rosewood fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 DHP 28HFS stainless steel frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive .strandberg* Custom Hot and Vintage humbuckers in H-H layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-way selector with coil-split positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Arc hardware: hardtail bridge and string lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.strandberg* Essential gig bag and setup tool kit included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: 6, right-handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: meranti, Sage Leaf acrylic satin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: roasted maple, EndurNeck profile, bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: rosewood, 20 inch radius, white dot inlays and side dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 25.5 inches, straight scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 24, DHP 28HFS stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString spacing at bridge: 52.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck depth: 21.7 mm at 1st fret, 22.5 mm at 15th fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: .strandberg* Custom Hum Vintage Neck 50 mm and Custom Hum Hot Bridge 53 mm, passive electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: master volume, master tone, 5-way selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Arc 6-string Straight Hardtail with Arc 6-string String Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 800 mm length, 320 mm body width, 42.5 mm body thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.15 kg (+\/- 10%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory strings: D'Addario NYXL 10-46, tuned EADGBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Strandberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53220130455889,"sku":"59040","price":941.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/StrandbergBodenEssential6SageLeaf1.jpg?v=1786965779","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/strandberg-boden-essential-6-sage-leaf","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
