Strandberg - Boden Original N2.8 Electric Guitar, Sunset Coral Burst Satin #BD8HCT-25O2-G1-SC

A decade of .strandberg* Original evolution

The Original series guitars were the first serial-produced instruments offered by .strandberg*, and 2025 marks perhaps the most significant year yet for this monumental series of guitars. The N2 curved body top design offers sweeping body lines with an even more comfortable playing experience than before, and the new Titanium-reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck makes for the most stable .strandberg* neck to date with added sonic clarity that makes notes and chords ring out with sparkle and chime. The Original N2 also comes equipped with the new .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups that deliver passive tone and dynamics combined with selectable Dynamic/Precision voicings to handle modern fluent distortion sounds as well as classic crunch, and vintage cleans with fidelity and authority. The Original N2 also features the new multi-scale Arc hardware, which provides full-body contact, enhancing resonance and sustain while facilitating easier setup adjustments and maintenance.  

.strandberg* POWR:D BY FISHMAN PICKUPS

Only cutting-edge electronics can capture the clarity and dynamics of an Original N2, which is why these guitars come equipped with custom-developed American-made .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups with selectable voicing to cover tones from pristine clean to saturated hi gain with ease. The Dynamic Voice (Voice 1) feature medium output with a balanced frequency response slightly favoring bass and treble for an open and responsive tone, while the Precision Voice (Voice 2) has higher output and an elevated high midrange for a warmer and tighter character. 

CURVED AND CHAMBERED BODY

The Original N2 guitars feature a new curved-top body design that enhances picking hand and lower arm playing comfort as it follows the curvature of the strings. A .strandberg* Boden now feels even more like a natural extension of your body. 

TITANIUM-REINFORCED ENDURNECK™

The revolutionary EndurNeck™ design is taken even further on the Original N2 by adding Titanium reinforcement rods, which make for the strongest .strandberg* neck ever with increased stability, increased durability, and livelier acoustic resonance.
