Authentic Boden Model with Innovative Strandberg Design Features

The V-BDN is based on the Boden style, the original Strandberg shape that combines excellent ergonomics with a uniquely stylish aesthetic design. Its materials have been carefully chosen to provide versatile tones for all types of music, with quick, punchy response and organic, resonant sound. The contoured body shape allows multiple comfortable seated playing positions, while the low weight saves your shoulders and neck. The patented EndurNeck shape relaxes muscles, joints, and tendons in your hand, wrist, and forearm, encouraging a more correct playing position. Another standout aspect of the Strandberg Boden is its custom hardware made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, which provides highly effective transfer of string vibrations into the wood.

Mode Selector Functions

The V-BDN has a five-position mode selector knob that provides access to 25 onboard sounds. Each position makes five different sounds available from the guitar’s five-way blade selector switch.
Position 1—Engages the guitar’s normal humbucking pickups.
Position 2—Modeled single-coil pickup sounds.
Position 3—Modeled humbucking pickup sounds.
Position 4—Hybrid sounds: bass; humbucker w/octave down on strings 5 and 6; electric sitar; nylon-string acoustic; steel-string acoustic.
Position 5—Synthesizer: string synth lead; synth organ; GR-300 lead variations (octave down, normal, octave up).

Onboard BOSS V-Guitar Tech for Powerful Versatility and Maximum Sonic Creativity

BOSS’s famous V-Guitar technologies are the perfect complement to the innovative, modern design approach of the Strandberg Boden. Via a multi-position mode selector, you have quick access to all types of modeled humbucking and single-coil guitar pickups, plus bass sounds, acoustic guitars, synths, and more. And with a twist of the tuning knob, you can go from standard tuning to five different down tunings, all without adjusting the actual string tension at all! The V-Guitar tech is powered by four AA batteries, and you can easily monitor battery status from the front of the instrument. And don’t worry—if the batteries ever run out, you can seamlessly switch to standard Boden guitar operation without a hitch.
