The highly anticipated Boden Standard NX 6 Plini Edition Mirage guitar has officially launched, continuing the fruitful collaboration between Strandberg Guitars and progressive guitar icon Plini. This striking new instrument, coinciding with the release of Plini’s latest EP, “Mirage,” isn’t just designed for the stage—it lights it up, literally.
Dazzling Aesthetics Meet Ergonomic Design
The Plini Mirage Edition immediately stands out with its dramatic Black Granite satin finish, adorned with glow-in-the-dark graphics directly inspired by the “Mirage” artwork.
This unique visual flair, combined with Strandberg’s signature ergonomic body shape and headless design, creates an unmistakable aesthetic that is as visually bold as it is sonically powerful.
This solid-body guitar, part of the acclaimed Standard series, promises to be a showstopper and follows the recent Deep Blue model announcement.
Premium Tonewoods and Unrivaled Playability
Crafted from solid Meranti, the body provides a punchy, well-balanced sonic foundation. The roasted Maple neck, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, seamlessly integrates with the body via Strandberg’s innovative NX sculpted bolt-on neck heel, ensuring effortless access to all 24 frets of the Ebonol fingerboard.
Players will appreciate the renowned EndurNeck profile for fatigue-free extended sessions and Jescar stainless steel fretwire for superior durability and incredibly smooth playability.
Versatile Tones for Dynamic Performances
The Boden Standard NX 6 Plini Edition Mirage is equipped with a custom H-H pickup set, meticulously designed by Strandberg to capture Plini’s diverse tonal palette.
A streamlined 3-way switch unlocks a wide array of sounds, from robust bridge humbucker tones to glassy inner-coil cleans and warm, articulate neck leads. This versatile setup perfectly complements Plini’s dynamic, genre-blending playing style, with a master volume control keeping things simple and intuitive.
Precision Hardware and Stage-Ready Features
Enhancing its performance capabilities, the guitar features the updated EGS Rev7B tremolo system with a convenient pop-in arm and precise black anodized components.
For optimal visibility in low-light environments, Luminlay green side dots and a custom Plini moon inlay are incorporated, adding both functionality and a touch of signature flair. Each Boden Standard NX 6 Plini Edition Mirage ships ready to perform, strung with D’Addario NYXL 10–46 strings in standard tuning and housed in an included gig bag.
Stage & Studio
Designed for the demands of both stage and studio, the Boden Standard NX 6 Plini Edition Mirage is more than just a signature model; it’s a modern tool for forward-thinking guitarists. Its carefully sculpted lines, versatile tone, and distinct visual identity make it a standout instrument for those seeking innovation and artistic expression.
