Video 2 of the "Essential" demo series.
If you asked where the differences are between the nx models and the essential - here's the answer.
Since i watched Plini playing a Strandberg i was interested in this Company @StrandbergguitarsOfficial .
Later, when Owane got his Classic-Model, i decided to buy the other color option. Some years later i own 4 Strandbergs, when the Company do a really clever step:
INTRODUCING THE BODEN ESSENTIAL
It has the same Shape, same good Strandberg custom OEM Pickups, same Endurneck, same Weight. There are only 4 differences to the other models:
1. Normal frets instead of fanned frets. So "usual Guitar"-Players can dive into the headless world.
2. The Price. The Essential costs 999$ / 1199€ . There are not many Strandbergs under 2000$/€
3. New Hardware (round knobs as potis, new Bridge Hardware)
4. The essential gigbag (looks like standard gigbag, but with less pads inside
when i grabbed it i only thought "damn, it doesn't look cheaper than my other guitars". When i started playing it directly felt familiar. I like the endurneck. I like the body shape, so you can play in different positions. And i like normal frets same as fanned frets.
So if you are interested in buying a lovely guitar with good quality and innovative futuristic features - dont wait. THIS ONE is a NOBRAINER.

Great backing track.I'm getting 1 from Sweetwater.Will be Plek-ed before I receive it.Had a Limited Run Trem equipped Strandberg-I wish I wouldn't have let go of.I asked for Normal frets for the TT guitars a few years ago. Glad to see I can get straight frets now.Maybe down the line,they'll do a straight fret Tempered Tuning guitar.

thx! 😍 Track is by me, will be released anywhen in the future. but does it work? I Thought True Tempered frets cant be straight. all in all pretty nice they made a strandberg with usual frets. but i have to be honest, i miss the fanned frets - just a bit 😅

The neck on the Essential is one piece, and is roasted. Great video! How différent is the neck finish/smooth feeling ?

@MikePane Ай бұрын

imo its made of two pieces like the other models. cuz the fingerboard is much darker than the rest. the feeling of the neck is very similar, but i guess it is not that sticky. idk why

@patledoc Ай бұрын

@@MikePane on the company site : standard has « Maple neck - Quartersawn, Carbon Fiber reinforced » Essential has « Roasted one-piece Maple neck »

@MikePane Ай бұрын

@@patledoc got it.. So the difference is: The Neck is made of one piece, without quartersawn and carbon fiber. to be honest i didnt feel the difference during playing

I would like to know if the electronics are the same (blade switch, pots, etc)

@MikePane Ай бұрын

I actually have no idea 🙊😅

@simoneromano2512 Ай бұрын

@@MikePane NX standard models have very good stuff, CTS pots, switch and so on, i'm wondering if they have lowered the quality to keep the cost affordable.

@MikePane Ай бұрын

@@simoneromano2512 maybe they have. i didnt recognize any quality issues. all in all the essential has a very good price-performance ratio comparing to the other models.

How does the fretwork compare? Some people are claiming that essential has significantly worse frets

@MikePane 20 күн бұрын

In my case the frets didn’t get worse , but idk maybe it’s unusual good build quality. I also heard other people talking about bad frets

So Boden essential is not Multiscale?

@tamask7749 Ай бұрын

i will finally get one, its actually a feature i dont want and it comes in a cheaper package!!!!

@bashshasheet8519 Ай бұрын

@@tamask7749 congratulations mate. My problem is that the price in Europe is 1200 euro so I would rather put a little bit more money and get a different strandberg

@MikePane Ай бұрын

That’s right. The essential doesn’t have multiscale

@MikePane Ай бұрын

@bashshasheet8519 which model you will buy then ? 🙈

@MikePane Ай бұрын

@tamask7749 I guess it worths the price . I don’t feel like it’s a cheaper Strandberg. Sure it doesn’t have multiscsle , but the difference isn’t big. The essential is a good option
