Strandberg‘s headless revolution continues to evolve. With the Boden Prog NX line, the boutique brand refines its flagship design into an even sharper tool for today’s most demanding players. Whether you’re a six-string shredder or a seven-string low-end architect, the Boden Prog NX 6 and NX 7 are built to push your playing into uncharted territory.
The Boden Prog NX 6 and NX 7 are now available in Deep Blue finishes alongside their usual array. The NX 6 goes for $2,395, while the NX 7 goes for $2,495. Get ’em both here.
Boden Prog NX 6
The Boden Prog NX 6 takes the ergonomic headless format Strandberg pioneered and injects it with upgraded hardware, tonewoods, and boutique electronics. With a swamp ash body, maple top and neck, and a slick Ebonol fingerboard, this guitar is designed to be as fast and functional as it is sonically rich.
Under the hood, the NX 6 features a killer pair of Suhr humbuckers — an SSH+ in the bridge and an SSV in the neck — delivering a tonal range that spans vintage warmth to modern crunch. Whether you’re tapping clean runs or chugging through high-gain prog riffs, these pickups bring clarity and punch in equal measure.
Factor in the ultra-stable EGS Rev 7b tremolo, 24 stainless steel frets, and the EndurNeck profile and you have one of the most comfortable and high-performing six-strings on the market. The multi-scale layout (25–25.5″) ensures proper tension and intonation across the board, while Luminlay side dots keep you locked in on dark stages.
Boden Prog NX 7
For players needing extended range, the Boden Prog NX 7 is just as refined with just a little extra firepower under the hood. Like its six-string sibling, it features a swamp ash body, maple top, and Ebonol fingerboard, but ups the ante with Fishman Fluence Modern 7 humbuckers that deliver crystal-clear cleans, brutal gain, and a wide palette of switchable voicings.
The Prog NX 7‘s 25.5–26.25″ multi-scale setup ensures tight lows and effortless bends up top. Meanwhile, the roasted maple neck and carbon fiber reinforcement mean this guitar is built to withstand the rigors of the road. The EGS Rev 7b tremolo, Jescar stainless steel frets, and EndurNeck complete the package, making this a dream machine for seven-string virtuosos.
Like the NX 6, it’s ergonomically optimized for long sessions and precision performance, whether you’re in the studio or tearing it up onstage. It’s a modern metal monster, equally at home in fusion, prog, or film scoring.
