Description
Description
The Salen incorporates most of the features of the original Boden design, adding an unmistakable tip of the cap to the classic solid-body design that has stood strong for nearly 70 years, making it a new modern classic with the successful NX update to the Boden line. A perfect blend of retro classic and cutting-edge innovation, the Salen is both approachable and unashamedly forward-thinking. Classic tonewoods and construction techniques are blended with modern design and cutting-edge features to create a seamless whole.
The Salen NX sparked a musical revolution that continues to this day, and we sought to take that inspiration to a new level in looks, functionality, ergonomics, sound, and playability. With a lightweight headless design, multi-scale funnel frets, patented EndurNeck, and aerospace-grade hardware, it combines all the hallmarks of a Strandberg guitar with a look and sound that evokes a glorious era of guitar-driven music, from classic rock to pop, country, and jazz.
The Salen NX Jazz takes a completely new direction visually and sonically, featuring a chambered mahogany body with a solid maple top, a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, F-holes, and Suhr Thornbucker and Thornbucker II humbuckers. The Salen NX Jazz offers a wide range of clean, low- to medium-gain sounds, and at high gain, it roars like a rock 'n' roll machine. Responding quickly to pick attack and touch, the Salen NX Jazz covers a wide range of electric guitar sounds, from classic to modern, and is suited to a variety of playing styles and musical genres.
Featuring a mahogany body and neck and the classic sound that can only come from a dual humbucker configuration, the Salen NX Jazz is one of the most versatile guitars we've ever made. The Salen Jazz produces a thick, warm, and rich tone with a mid-range emphasis, while maintaining the clarity, definition, responsiveness, and articulation that all our guitars are known for.
The Salen NX Jazz is designed for serious, open-minded players with a wide range of musical tastes, from clean jazz and roots music to earthy blues and hard rock. The natural and trans-burgundy finishes highlight the beauty of mahogany and rosewood, two of the finest tonewoods used in both electric and acoustic guitars. This guitar is for players who want to experience the richness of the wood, not the sound of the pickups.
Heavy-duty hardware for easier maintenance, a new neck joint heel shape and arm contour for added comfort, new sustainably sourced tonewoods that improve the instrument's sound, and several cosmetic tweaks that enhance the overall look of the iconic Salen design all seamlessly integrate to create a major update to the Salen series. The Salen NX series is truly the next generation of Salen models, delivering an elevated level of performance and playing experience.
