At the 2025 NAMM Show, Strandberg Guitars solidified its role as a leader in modern guitar craftsmanship by unveiling an impressive lineup of innovative instruments.

The company’s designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about the evolution of how guitars are played, held, and heard. With every release, Strandberg reaffirms its commitment to making instruments that meet the demands of the modern musician without sacrificing individuality or creativity.

Looking back, 2024 marked a defining chapter in Strandberg’s story, notably with the introduction of the Boden Essential. This model received widespread praise for offering high-end features at an accessible price point, without cutting corners on quality. It was a clear demonstration of Strandberg's ability to balance innovation with inclusivity, making their instruments available to a broader spectrum of players.
