Together we have set out to establish ourselves as a leading manufacturer of next genera2on, ergonomic and purpose designed guitars and basses for modern musicians. AES is the global distributor of the .strandberg* produc2on instrument series, as well their manufacturing in alliance with the second longest established guitar company in the world... Washburn Guitars USA. For 2014, we are pleased to announce updated specs for the Boden7 & Boden8 series, as well as the addi2on of the Boden6 series. All Boden series guitars now feature flame maple tops and have several op2onal stain finishes available. In addi2on, we are thrilled to announce a new signature series designed in collabora2on with our good friend, Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry, resul2ng in the first .strandberg* produc2on instrument to feature a non-­‐chambered body, a custom pickguard, unique pickup configura2on, 27 frets, op2onal True Temperament, and also an amazing swirl finish done in collabora2on with Livewire Guitars.

AES & TRUE TEMPERAMENT
• 
• 
• 
• 
The True Temperament™ Fretting System is a revolutionary new
way to construct guitar fingerboards which tune accurately along
the whole neck.
Our True Temperament equipped guitars all feature the Thidell
Formula 1™ temperament, which is optimized for all open and
barre chords.
The 28” – 26.5” fanned fret 8-string True Temperament is exclusive
to .strandberg* guitars.

The EndurNeck™
• 
The EndurNeck™ is a patent pending neck profile that
provides many benefits
– 
– 
– 
– 
– 
– 
• 
• 
By utilizing flat surfaces rather than a round profile, it
provides a more restful grip for the thumb
Your hand is much stronger when gripping something thick
than when gripping something thin, and the EndurNeck™ uses
this fact in its design. Due to the way that it is designed, it is
experienced as comfortable whether you are used to a thick
or thin neck
Chord playing at the far end of the neck is made easier
Soloing and fret access in general at the near end of the neck
is made easier
The curved rear section and the angles of the surfaces
interact to encourage a more correct playing position and a
straighter wrist
The result is less stress on muscles, joints and tendons, which
lets you play more relaxed, with less fatigue, which results in
less risk of injury and better playing
The EndurNeck was invented by Ola Strandberg and is
featured exclusively on .strandberg* instruments
