Presenting the newly updated Strandberg Sälen Classic NX, this one in their classic Butterscotch Blonde finish.
The Sälen Classic NX is the .strandberg* take on the legendary first solidbody electric guitar from the 1950’s: not a mere copy of this iconic guitar that changed the history of music but a thoughtful and innovative design that balances the best of the tried-and-true traditional with the thoroughly modern concepts that our guitars are known for.
The Sälen NX is at once familiar and strikingly bold, vintage-and-futuristic, yesterday-and-tomorrow. Due to its solidbody construction, Sälen NX Classic exhibits a punchier and snappier tactile response than the NX Deluxe, making it ideal for country players as well as rock and blues players who prefer the meatier and more solid feel that such a guitar provides.
A true classic wood combination that has been heard in countless recordings over many decades, the Sälen NX Classic exudes a timeless nature that blends seamlessly with the modern .strandberg* design and innovative features.
The Sälen NX is for the modern musicians who have their feet firmly planted in both the traditional and the modern – both visually and sonically. With the capability to produce the classic sounds of yesteryears with all the innovative features that .strandberg* is known for, the Sälen NX satisfies the needs to today’s musicians who wish to have the best of both in a compact and ergonomic design for the ultimate in comfort and mobility. Whether you are into rock, country, pop, blues, or jazz or all of the above, the Sälen NX models will deliver the tone, playability, and feel you need to perform at your very best.
Like all Strandberg guitars, the Salen NX Classic features their innovative EndurNeck.

Like all Strandberg guitars, the Salen NX Classic features their innovative EndurNeck.
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
The EndurNeck was invented by Ola Strandberg and is featured exclusively on .strandberg* instruments
