Strandberg Guitars
Pioneers of the modern headless guitar, Strandberg revolutionised ergonomic design with the EndurNeck system and ultra-light bodies.
About the brand
Strandberg Guitars is a Swedish company founded by Ola Strandberg that redefines ergonomic design in the electric guitar. The Boden series, featuring a headless body and the innovative EndurNeck profile, is the most recognised and has inspired an entire generation of builders.
The EndurNeck design eliminates the sharp edges of a conventional neck, adapting to the natural shape of the hand across different positions. Chambered mahogany bodies and ultra-light construction make Strandberg guitars especially popular among players who spend long hours performing.
Artists in prog rock, fusion and djent have widely adopted Strandberg guitars for their comfort and balanced tone. The brand has expanded its catalogue with the Sälen series and more conventional body shapes to attract players who are sceptical of the headless concept.
Key facts
- Patented EndurNeck system for greater comfort in upper positions
