The Strandberg Limited-edition Salen APS Electric Guitar is where art meets engineering, developed in collaboration with acclaimed photographer Alan Schaller. This guitar is a visual and auditory masterpiece, capturing the essence of Schaller’s monochrome photography with its sleek and minimalistic design. But the beauty of this instrument is not just skin-deep. At its core are the Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen HSP90 pickups, renowned for their powerful P-90 warmth and versatility, delivering both a rich clean tone and a dynamic, gritty edge when pushed.

The Salen APS is built for playability and endurance, featuring Strandberg’s signature EndurNeck profile. This neck design is crafted from roasted maple to enhance comfort and reduce strain, allowing for longer, more enjoyable play sessions. The headless design further optimizes balance, eliminating unnecessary weight so you can focus on your performance. The guitar’s chambered swamp ash body ensures a lightweight feel without compromising on tonal richness.

Strandberg’s attention to detail is evident in the use of Luminlay side dots for visibility on dimly lit stages, and the EGS Rev 7 fixed bridge, constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum to ensure maximum string vibration transfer.

Experience the fusion of visual art and sonic excellence with the Strandberg Salen APS—a guitar that transcends the ordinary and inspires musicians to explore new creative horizons.
