Roasted 1-Piece EndurNeck
The Essential necks are constructed from a single piece of strong and durable Roasted Maple, in contrast to the multi-laminated necks of their more exclusive siblings. This traditional design creates a stable and comfortable neck that is also more cost-effective to manufacture without sacrificing the ergonomic benefits of the EndurNeck profile.

EGS ARC Hardware
The EGS ARC hardware is a proprietary .strandberg* design, and the first generation EGS hardware to feature a single-piece zinc bridge baseplate. The base is curved for perfect string height alignment with the fretboard radius and a robust vibration transfer to the body, while all moving parts have been carefully designed for strength, easy setup work, and easy maintenance.

Solid light-weight body
A .strandberg* guitar is always light, resonant, and comfortable, but there are different ways to accomplish this that influence the sonic properties and manufacturing complexity. The solid Meranti bodies of the Essential series instruments are lightweight and strong, with a focused tone that’s strong in the midrange, while also being a material that is sustainably grown.

The Essential instruments first saw the light of day in early 2024 and were the fruit of an ambitious project to create a less extravagant instrument that offered demanding players the core values and features associated with .strandberg* Guitars at a more affordable price. The goal was clear from the very beginning. This more affordable model needed to be as light, balanced, comfortable, and great sounding as the .strandberg* name demands, but also simplified in looks and non-critical features that would otherwise compromise the intended position. These are the guitars of choice for players desiring the signature benefits of the .strandberg* design combined with simplified features and a competitive price.
See GuitarsThe core building blocks of the Essential instruments are a 1-piece Roasted Maple EndurNeck with Rosewood fretboard and a solid body made from Meranti, a Southeast Asian hardwood closely resembling Mahogany in tone and appearance. This creates a durable construction with a slightly warmer .strandberg* tone that sits comfortably in the middle of our guitar lineup in terms of sound. The single baseplate EGS ARC hardware forms a strong bond to the body for excellent resonance, while the tried-and-true .strandberg* Custom pickups with diverse switching options provide the wide variety of sounds needed for the diverse modern performer.

The heart of all .strandberg* instruments lie in their ergonomically designed bodies that ensure low weight, perfect balance, and support for multiple playing positions combined with the patented trapezodial EndurNeck neck profile that guides the fretting hand into a more relaxed and efficient playing position. The Essential series comes equipped with all these features but stands out as the only .strandberg* with a straight 25.5” (non-multiscale) scale arrangement. This makes the Essential the most traditional .strandberg* in this respect, with a unique personality characterized by practicality, accessibility, and flawless performance.
