Crafted for the modern guitarist, the Strandberg Limited-edition Salen APS Electric Guitar is a stunning fusion of art and engineering. This exceptional instrument, born from a collaboration with the visionary photographer Alan Schaller, transcends traditional design with its unique aesthetics and remarkable playability. The guitar's chambered swamp ash body is not only lightweight but also offers a resonant tonal foundation that supports its striking visuals.

At the heart of this guitar's sonic prowess are the Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen HSP90 pickups, renowned for their warm, midrange-forward tonality. These pickups provide a dynamic range that bridges the gap between the clarity of single-coils and the power of humbuckers. The instrument's neck, made from roasted maple and featuring Strandberg’s patented EndurNeck profile, is designed for ergonomic efficiency, promoting speed and reducing hand fatigue.

The headless design further enhances the guitar's balance and comfort, making it perfect for long sessions on stage or in the studio. The EGS Rev 7 fixed bridge, crafted from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, ensures optimal string vibration transfer, contributing to the guitar's rich and articulate sound.
