Plini's Most Versatile Signature Performer
In partnership with Australia's master of modern progressive metal, Plini, the Strandberg Boden Plini Edition N2.6T delivers some of the most versatile and performance-ready features in Strandberg's unique lineup. Built around a lightweight maple-capped chambered ash body, the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T presents pure Boden styling and comfort, highlighted by the N2 curved body top design. Enhanced via the ultra-smooth navigation of its multi-scale setup, EndurNeck profile, and the incredibly flat 20-inch-radius ebonol fingerboard, this axe registers as one of the most flawlessly accommodating, performance-driven models that we've gotten our hands on here at Sweetwater. Plini's personal and triple-voiced Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers provide a full gamut of tone to work with, from high-intensity humbucking fury to crystalline single-coil chime. Complete with an Arc TILT tremolo and String Lock combo, black hardware finishing, and Plini's crescent moon 12th fret inlay, the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T brings out creative expressiveness in full force.

Masterfully balanced headless design
The Boden Plini Edition N2.6T's headless design removes mass from the headstock for lower weight and improved balance, allowing you to play marathon sets in total comfort. On the other end, the Arc TILT tremolo bridge is designed to work in flawless conjunction with the headstock's String Lock system, leveraging ultra-precise engineering and amplifying the performance possibilities of the guitar's multi-scale design. To supplement this balanced feel, meticulous body contouring, a carefully curved top, and elegant finesse-filled lines on the body’s rear side expand comfort and control with equal aplomb.
Plini's signature Open Core Classics
For a virtuosic prog veteran like Plini, only a set of the finest, most expressive dual-coils will cut it onstage. That's why you'll find a pair of Plini's signature Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic active humbuckers at the bridge and neck. Armed with a master Volume, 3-way pickup selector, and a triple-voice mini switch, the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T allows you to efficiently tap into virtually any tone with ease. Articulate and clean single-coil arpeggiation? Soaring lead expression? Momentous high-gain progressions? It's all on the table and musically complementary across the three voices. Painstakingly engineered for noiseless performance even at the most aggressive settings, this is the pickup pair you want fueling your most adventurous playing.
EndurNeck: designed for maximum comfort and performance
At first glance, Strandberg's acclaimed EndurNeck profile is sure to draw a few questions with its unique shape. But here at Sweetwater, guitarists will chime in with resounding reassurance: the EndurNeck feels fantastic. This titanium-reinforced design sports a rear-shafted trapezoid shape, possessing incredible comfort and noticeable stability. Almost magically, you will feel your grip significantly relax when playing an EndurNeck, leading to longer, more comfortable playing sessions. The Boden Plini Edition N2.6T's bolt-on construction, paired with a deep double-cut design, offers easy access to the upper register for increased playability and a more focused punch — a welcome feature uncommon for many other bolt-on guitars.
Heightened multi-scale musicality
The fingerboard of a Strandberg is instantly recognizable for its multi-scale configuration that assigns each string a unique scale length. This design allows low strings to intonate better at high tension and makes bending high strings a breeze. The Boden Plini Edition N2.6T's EndurNeck is capped by a 20-inch-radius ebonol fingerboard with a 25–25.5-inch scale length. Not to mention, its 24 frets are made from stainless steel — a player-favorite fret material for its incredible resistance to wear over time.
