Strandberg Salen Classic NX Trans Butterscotch

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Strandberg Salen Classic NX Trans Butterscotch is a forward-thinking guitar that keeps its history in mind. By bringing together the cutting-edge design and performance of the NX series with the nod to the past that the Salen Classic does so well, you get a sensational guitar ready for professional level performance. The 24 stainless steel fanned frets make for an effortless playing experience thanks to the 25" - 25.5" scale length. With great looks and sounds to match, we like what Strandberg has done here.

Features We Love:

Ergonomics

Ergonomics have been at the forefront of the Strandberg design ethos since the beginning and it hasn't stopped improving. Continuing to use the unique Strandberg Endurneck profile features a flat surface providing a more rested feel for the thumb and encourages a more correct playing position and a straighter more relaxed wrist. Add to this the newly designed neck heel and you can experience every inch of this unique and comfortable neck. Ergonomics don't stop there though, the body lends itself to multiple different playing positions making it excellent for stage and studio use.

Exceptional Build Quality

.strandberg* pull out all the stops when it comes to their build quality, and design finesse. Apart from being ergonomically sound, it's backed up by impressive tonewood selection and solid hardware. The guitar features a solid swamp ash body and birdseye maple fingerboard, giving this guitar a bright and open sound, plus the hardware is anodized for additional protection.

Suhr Pickups

This pair of Suhr Custom pickups keep with the theme of the rest of the guitar; traditional meets modern. They can certainly do that unmistakable 50's T-style guitar tone but their use doesn't stop there. From rock and pop through to jazz and blues, they allow for guitarists to easily switch between styles while taking it in all their stride.

Who Is It For?

Looking for a guitar with all the modern benefits but that keeps some traditional elements too? Your search can stop here.
