The Boden Metal guitars are one of our longest-running families of instruments, known for their ballistic appearance and big tones. These instruments are now introduced in their Standard N2 incarnations, where the N2 curved body top, .strandberg* Arc hardware, Titanium-reinforced EndurNeck, jet-black Ebonol fretboards, and .strandberg* POWR:D by Fishman pickups with selectable Precision/Dynamic voicings create a new generation of tools for heavy music.
The Boden Standard N2.8 Metal POWR:D Black Metallic is the perfect instrument for modern musicians seeking deep and commanding sounds combined with the renowned .strandberg* features of supreme ergonomics, low weight, and rugged dependability.
