Strandberg Saelen Deluxe NX 6 Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)

The Saelen NX is the .strandberg take on the legendary first solidbody electric guitar from the 1950's: not a mere copy of this iconic guitar that changed the history of music but a thoughtful and innovative design that balances the best of the tried-and-true traditional with the thoroughly modern concepts that Strandberg guitars are known for.
