Strandberg Unveils the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T
Strandberg unveils the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T with Arc TILT tremolo, Fishman Fluence pickups, and titanium-reinforced roasted maple neck.
The iconic collaboration between Strandberg and progressive guitar virtuoso Plini has reached a new pinnacle with the launch of the 2026 Boden Plini Edition N2.6T, featuring groundbreaking hardware and refined ergonomics.
For fans of modern progressive metal and ergonomic guitar design, the wait is over. Strandberg Guitars has officially announced the most significant update to their flagship signature model yet: the Boden Plini Edition N2.6T. Combining cutting-edge engineering with the refined aesthetic preferences of Australian guitar legend Plini, this new iteration promises to be the most versatile and performance-ready axe in the Strandberg lineup.
Revolutionary Features and Performance Tech
At the heart of the N2.6T is a suite of technological upgrades designed for the modern player. The most notable addition is the revolutionary Arc TILT tremolo bridge and String Lock combo. Engineered for rock-solid tuning stability, this system allows players to perform aggressive whammy-bar maneuvers without sacrificing the intonation or responsiveness Strandberg is famous for.
The instrument features a lightweight, chambered Swamp Ash body topped with solid maple, finished in a stunning Black Metallic Satin.
The neck—the company’s signature Titanium-reinforced Roasted Maple EndurNeck—provides unparalleled structural integrity, while the 20-inch-radius Ebonol fingerboard offers a lightning-fast, ultra-smooth playing surface.
"My Favorite Guitar I’ve Ever Played"
The collaboration remains deeply personal for Plini, who has been instrumental in the design process. Regarding the prototype, the virtuoso noted: "When Ola [Strandberg] handed me the first prototype of my N2 signature to try, it became my favorite guitar I’ve ever played within seconds."
This sentiment is reflected in the guitar's versatile electronics. Equipped with Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Plini pickups, the N2.6T provides a staggering palette of tones. From high-output, aggressive humbucking grit to crystalline, vintage-inspired single-coil chime, the guitar is built to handle everything from intricate ambient passages to high-intensity prog-metal riffing.
