I Love This Guitar Apart from ONE Thing... | Strandberg Boden Original NX7 Review

Published 2023-06-25
This .Strandberg* Boden Original NX7 is meant to be the pinnacle of ergonomic guitar design but it feels...different. It's unlike any seven string electric guitar I've ever played before and I want to share my thoughts with you.

In this review we look at this Strandberg extended range electric guitar and see how good it really is. Strandberg have worked on the Boden for many years to create an ergonomic guitar that is meant to feel and play like nothing else. This Original NX7 is one of their extended range options and provides a lot of awesome features like the Patented Strandberg Endurneck, Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, chambered swamp ash, stainless steel frets, and ergonomics like no other guitar. Even though it's packed with features for all guitar players, I do have some thoughts. Let's take a look.

  • Note Just correcting something dumb I said in this video. Shout out to @BarbecuedClorox3852 for pointing out that there is in fact a hardtail Strandberg with a Richlite board; the Metal. Stupid thing is I was looking at a second hand one last week 😂 Just completely left my brain. I've cut those few seconds out so if there's a weird skip around 6 minutes in you know why. Sorry Strandberg if you see this!

    Take super fine steel wool to the neck and apply a small amount of Tru-Oil to the neck. You'll find it to be faster and much smoother. i have a Boden original 7 trem with "Surh Hott 7" humbuckers w/push pull tone to split the coils. The neck finish was removed and had the Tru-Oil applied and i absolutely love it! it's a dream guitar and does exactly what i want it to do when im playing it!
  • @EladZalman
    I have owned this guitar for a year now and you said exactly what I think and feel about it 🤘🏻 Good job 👍🏻
  • @ItsJuuj97
    That is fantastic, strandberg is such a game changer. I have to try one, I’m a massive “dad” guitar fan and I need to crawl out my comfort zone and try something else other than a strat or tele or a les paul😂 As always your videos are amazing and I your playing is so inspiring. I can see through the video that you enjoy what you do and love to play and talk about guitars! Keep up and I will see you in the next video 💪🏻
  • @nickfarrow4788
    Stramdbergs are really great! Yesterday i purchased a Standard 7 in Purple. Really versatile and you can play in total control. Imho the strandberg concept really shines in the 7 or 8 strings guitar more than in the 6. Love it
  • @paulwhite7125
    I'm dead serious. Consider selling these two Strandbergs and get a True Temperament. You say in the video this fixes all your problems. I just bought a 2020 Blue TT model from Reverb and OMG man. THIS ONE fixes everything. I've been playing 20 years and this is the best guitar I've ever played. I'm considering selling my 2020 Natural Original 7 now. I've never experienced being this in tune before, it's mind blowing. P.S. Good vids man, I enjoy watching Strandberg videos when I'm too tired to play lol
  • @juicebox268
    this is the exact model I want, I'm glad someone Is doing a review on it
  • @DrRachelRApe
    I have a Boden Prog NX7 charcoal on the way. Can't wait.
  • @brian1749
    I've got a Strandberg 8 string Boden. The one thing I don't like about it is the endure neck shape. I find the neck on my other 8 strings over the Strandberg. But, I love how it sounds, so I keep it.
  • @hks956
    Love my strandberg. It's not even one of the high end ones either. Just a standard 6 HH without trem with Dimarzio Gravity Storm/Liquifier pickups. Dont even touch my USA Gibsons or Fenders anymore which is what I was married to for 25 years. The only thing I HATE is that I can't get a proper fitted hard case. I would buy it immediately.
  • @iduncanw
    Great coverage and love your enthusiasm. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was some low B in your playing. Have you got any other videos that might cover this? I noted you mentioned how it's not like a traditional 7 string - I tried a Schecter Keith Merrow Legacy 7 recently and it instantly felt like home. Super light and slim body (probably close to Ibanez S range) and the neck was buttery smooth. Definitely keen to see what one of these feels like. Beautiful looks on this one, similar vibes to my frozen ocean RG in my profile pick and mine also has Fishman, birdseye maple and stainless steel frets 🤘🤘
  • @Pughhead
    They are nice, but there is one major problem with the fanned frets. They mean the bridge humbucker isn't properly aligned with the strings, giving a thin sound. There is almost no difference between the full pickup and coil split on a strandberg guitar.
  • @michaelsmith9544
    Sarah longfield six string has richlite fretboard and hardtail bridge OEM pickups. I really like mine.
  • @TK-we9zt
    Thanks for doing this! Going through similar hand issues to yours and am really leaning towards the strandbergs. Was nervous about taking the plunge because there are none near me to try but you are selling me on them. Thanks man! 🤘
  • Hi! Great video. When you stand, do you experience "neck dive" with this guitar?
  • I have the Boden Metal 8 NX and it's a hardtail with a Richlite board I believe all of the Boden Metal's are hardtails with Richlite boards.
  • @AlexanderGhezzo
    I have 2 Strandbergs and one with Fishman Fluence. I agree with the moderns. I have tried the classic, and like them even more. Strandbergs has just some slight quality issues. But I love them
  • Love looking at my recommendations and seeing a new Jack video.. I'll just have to take your word on these headless horseman guitars though, but bro give yourself some credit on your playin ability buddy. I'd have you in a band in a heartbeat.. no lie
  • @Fishplants
    Isn't your dream guitar the Boden Metal NX 7? Doesn't that have the same specs + the fretboard you want ? 🤔
  • @MikePane
    "looking at you Les Pauls" 🤣🤣🤣 you're killin it 😇😎
