Strandberg Boden Standard N2.8 Black Satin Metallic with Gig Bag

The Series That Sets a New Standard
The Strandberg Boden Standard N2.8 pushes the boundaries of modern extended-range performance, showcasing the most refined evolution of the core solid-body Standard Series. Redesigned for 2025 with enhanced ergonomics, next-generation hardware, and premium electronics, the N2.8 is engineered for players who demand uncompromising clarity, stability, and technical precision across all eight strings.

Featuring the updated N2 ergonomic curved body top, this model delivers unparalleled comfort with smoother contours and improved body balance. Whether seated or standing, long practice sessions or intense live performance feel effortless. The groundbreaking Titanium-reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck ensures maximum stability, rigidity, and tonal purity—allowing each note to resonate with enhanced clarity, definition, and harmonic sparkle across the entire extended range.

The N2.8 comes equipped with American-made Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Pegasus (bridge) humbuckers, a pairing celebrated for its articulation, dynamic response, and versatility. From aggressive, percussive metal riffs and technical leads to expressive cleans and mid-gain warmth, this pickup set delivers balanced, musical tones suited for progressive metal, djent, fusion, cinematic scoring, and more.

The new EGS ARC full-contact multi-scale hardware further elevates performance, offering superior sustain, resonance, tuning stability, and precise intonation. Its multi-scale design optimizes string tension—especially crucial for low F#, E, or drop tunings common in 8-string play.

Finished in a sleek Black Satin Metallic, the Boden Standard N2.8 perfectly blends premium aesthetics with .strandberg*’s trademark lightweight construction, delivering an extended-range instrument that plays effortlessly and sounds extraordinary.
