The Sälen is the .strandberg* take on the legendary first solidbody electric guitar from the 1950’s: not a mere copy of this iconic guitar that changed the history of music but a thoughtful and innovative design that balances the best of the tried-and-true traditional with the thoroughly modern concepts that our guitars are known for. The Sälen is at once familiar and strikingly bold, vintage and futuristic, yesterday and tomorrow.

Sonically and tactile response-wise, the Sälen Deluxe models will provide nice warmth and roundness due to the chambered body and make the bridge pickup less piercing on the high notes so there’d be no need to roll back the tone knob. The chambered Alder/Maple body Deluxe has a great middle pickup sound while the solidbody Classic Trans Butterscotch has a beautiful snap due to the Ash body and Maple board combo while the Classic Ice Blue Metallic exhibits the same type of snap but with a little fuller sound due to its Alder body and Pau Ferro fretboard.

Features: 

• Stunning craftsmanship and mind-blowing tone in a reduced-body electric
• Lightweight, resonant chambered ash body with flamed maple top for incredible resonance and stage-ready looks
• Roasted maple neck with Strandberg's patented EndurNeck trapezoid design with maple fingerboard offers stellar playability and response
• Pair of Custom Suhr Classic T single-coils in the neck and bridge positions are engineered to deliver that classic T-style tone
• Patented EndurNeck design with trapezoid back that fades and softens its cut as you move up the neck
• 24 Jescar 57110 jumbo stainless steel frets are easy on the fingers
