Description
Presenting the newly updated Strandberg Sälen Jazz NX, this one in their Satin Natural finish.
The Sälen Jazz 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 Strandberg’s guitars are known for.
The Sälen NX is at once familiar and strikingly bold, vintage-and-futuristic, yesterday-and-tomorrow.
The Sälen NX Jazz takes a whole new direction – both visually and sonically – with chambered Mahogany body capped with solid Maple top and Mahogany veneer, Mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard, F-hole, and a pair of the new .strandberg* MF Classic humbuckers. One of the most versatile .strandberg* guitar models ever with its unmatched ability to explore various shades of clean and low-to-medium gain sounds, the Sälen NX Jazz can also bark and roar like a true rock-and-roll machine in high gain settings.
Hyper responsive to your picking attack and touch, the Sälen NX Jazz covers a wide spectrum of classic and modern electric guitar sounds to suit a wealth of playing styles and musical genres.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Sälen NX Jazz is for the serious and open-minded player whose musical taste covers the gamut from clean jazz and roots-oriented music to earthy blues and hard rock sounds. The look, in both Natural or Trans Burgundy, accents the beauty of Mahogany and Rosewood, two of the greatest tone woods ever used on either the electric or acoustic guitar. This guitar is for the player who really wants to hear the tonal qualities of the woods, not the pickups. The MF Classic humbuckers are based on a genuine ’59 PAF but with more kick, clarity and harmonics to faithfully convey the natural sonic character to various amplification systems. Whether you are a working pro or a tone connoisseur hobbyist, the Sälen Jazz delivers the flexibility and inspiring tone for endless musical enjoyment.
Like all Strandberg guitars, the Salen NX Jazz features their innovative EndurNeck.
The EndurNeck™ is a patented neck profile that provides many benefits:

Like all Strandberg guitars, the Salen NX Jazz 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
