The .strandberg* Boden Original N2.6 takes the company’s iconic headless guitar design to an entirely new level. Building on more than a decade of innovation, this latest version brings together improved ergonomics, premium tonewoods, upgraded neck construction, and some exciting new electronics and hardware. From the chambered swamp ash body and contoured flamed maple top to the titanium-reinforced roasted maple EndurNeck, every detail is designed to improve comfort, stability, and overall performance.

The addition of the new .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups gives the N2.6 an impressive range of tonal possibilities, making it equally capable of handling modern progressive music, high-gain tones, and beautiful vintage-inspired cleans. It’s a guitar that combines the unique feel of the Boden platform with a new level of versatility and refinement.

Chambered Swamp Ash Body and Contoured Flamed Maple Top

The Boden Original N2.6 features the familiar ergonomic Boden body shape with a newly contoured flamed maple top that makes it one of the most comfortable models in the Original lineup. The chambered swamp ash body keeps the overall weight down while providing a lively, resonant sound with plenty of clarity and punch.

The flamed maple top adds definition and articulation, helping balance the lows, mids, and highs for a well-rounded tonal response. Combined with the carefully sculpted body contours, the N2.6 feels incredibly natural whether I’m playing standing up on stage or spending hours practicing at home.

Titanium-Reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck

The roasted maple EndurNeck is another major highlight of the N2.6. Featuring .strandberg*’s signature ergonomic neck profile, it encourages a more natural hand position and helps reduce fatigue during longer playing sessions.

New titanium reinforcement adds another level of structural stability while contributing to excellent note clarity and sustain. The 25″–25.5″ multiscale design provides balanced string tension and accurate intonation across the roasted maple fingerboard, making it equally comfortable for tight rhythm work, extended chords, and fast lead playing.

It’s a thoughtfully designed neck that combines comfort, precision, and long-term reliability.

.strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman Pickups

The new .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups give the Boden Original N2.6 an impressive amount of tonal flexibility. These pickups are designed to retain the dynamic response and feel of traditional passive pickups while offering multiple selectable voicings for a wide range of musical styles.

From clear, detailed cleans and warm vintage-inspired tones to aggressive high-gain sounds, the N2.6 has the versatility to cover just about anything. The pickups maintain excellent note definition and articulation, making them particularly appealing for players who need clarity through complex chords and heavily driven amplifier settings.

Whether I’m playing progressive metal, fusion, classic rock, or something more traditional, these pickups provide plenty of options without sacrificing the natural feel of the instrument.

EGS ARC Hardware for Stability and Sustain

The Boden Original N2.6 also introduces .strandberg*’s new multiscale EGS ARC hardware. Designed with full-body contact construction, the system helps maximize resonance and sustain while maintaining the lightweight feel that makes the Boden design so comfortable.

The streamlined design also makes adjustments and routine maintenance more straightforward. Finished in black, the EGS ARC hardware complements the modern styling of the guitar while providing a stable and dependable foundation for everyday playing.
