Presenting the all new Boden Metal NX 6, this one in Black Granite
The Metal NX models provide much more than a sleek exterior and super slick playability. Underneath the futuristic look is a tone machine crafted of the finest tonewoods to deliver an organic and woody yet pulverizing high-gain tones for today’s most demanding metal genres. The chambered American Basswood body coupled with solid quarter-inch thick Maple top produces a thick and full-bodied midrange along with a deep yet tight low-end. The Maple neck with Richlite fretboard adds brilliance along with a sharp edge to cut through the densest mix.
The individual bridge pieces machined out of aircraft-grade aluminum play a vital role in the Boden’s unique acoustic character – clear, organic, and balanced with a fast and articulate pick attack. The new Rev 7 hardware bridge pieces feature a self-locking mechanism for the saddles for improved robustness and tone transfer as well as quick and easy string action adjustments.
The unique hardware coupled with the Sassafras and Maple woods combines to provide a sound that is at once warm and woody as well as tight and punchy and which is amazingly responsive to the most minute subtleties of your touch. You will hear details in your playing that you have not heard before and which you can shape to bring out all the individual characteristics of your unique playing style.
The EndurNeck™ is a patented neck profile that provides many benefits:

Electronics-wise, the 6-string Metal NX model has been updated with Suhr™ Aldrich passive pickups while the 7- and 8-string models are equipped with the Fishman active pickups (the Fluence Modern ceramic in the bridge and the alnico in the neck) to deliver the natural acoustic characteristics of the guitar with powerful authority to your amplification systems. The Fishman wiring also provides single-coil and Voice 1/2 modes for added flexibility to suit virtually all musical genres and playing styles.
The EndurNeck™ is a patented neck profile that provides many benefits:
- By utilizing flat surfaces rather than a round profile, it provides a more restful grip for the thumb
- Your hand is much stronger when gripping something thick than when gripping something thin, and the EndurNeck™ uses this fact in its design.
- Due to the way that it is designed, it is experienced as comfortable whether you are used to a thick or thin neck
- Chord playing at the far end of the neck is made easier
- Soloing and fret access in general at the near end of the neck is made easier
- The curved rear section and the angles of the surfaces interact to
- encourage a more correct playing position and a straighter wrist
– The result is less stress on muscles, joints and tendons, which lets you play more relaxed, with less fatigue, which results in less risk of injury and better playing
