WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
The neck-thru-body design and construction facilitates unparalleled playability in the upper register of the fretboard while providing a unique punchy tone with improved sustain. Light weight and superbly balanced for hours of playing comfort, the extended EndurNeck profile across the entire length of the neck means the benefits of the design is maximized to further enhance your playing. Visually, the instrument is strikingly sleek and refined with an ideal balance between forward-thinking innovation and time-tested traditional. Tonally, the Plini Edition Neck-Thru can cover many musical genres and styles but is especially well-suited for modern prog for high gain applications and crystal-clear clean tones.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Besides the amazing playability and comfort, the Boden Plini Edition delivers a wide palette of musical sounds with a distinct sonic character due to its neck-thru-body construction. Compared to the bolt-on, the sound is punchier and more focused with enhanced sustain. The woods were carefully selected and matched to maximize the natural acoustic characteristics of the design and construction. Swamp Ash’s punchy high midrange complements the chambered body wings. Combined with the 5-ply carbon fiber reinforced Maple neck-thru-body, solid Maple top with Australian Blackwood veneer and Richlite fretboard which provide rigidity, focus and upper midrange brilliance, the Plini Edition Neck-Thru has an exceptionally balanced acoustic character. The Suhr humbuckers with special 3-way wiring deliver wide range of great humbucker and single-coil sounds in a minimalist layout.

HEADLESS
By removing weight from the headstock, your guitar can be made very light and yet balanced. You can play with greater comfort for longer.
VERSATILE BODY SHAPE
The body shape provides multiple seated playing positions for maximum comfort and versatility.
SCALE LENGTHS ADAPTED TO YOU
A multi-scale design allows your wrist to remain relaxed throughout the range of play. A longer scale length for the heavier strings provide better tone, and shorter in the thinner strings better playability.
PATENTED NECK PROFILE
Our patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a more correct playing position. The result: you can play longer, faster, better and avoid injury.
SPACE AGE MATERIALS
Our hunt for great tone and low weight led us to using aircraft grade aluminium and carbon fiber for maximum performance.
PROPRIETARY HARDWARE
The custom .strandberg* hardware is a vital contributor to the tone of the instrument. Lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and tight coupling of components ensure that nothing prevents the strings' vibrations from entering the body.
