Chambered Swamp Ash body with Maple top
This combination of woods and construction creates a notably resonant instrument with fast attack and a great deal of energy in the high midrange/lower treble frequencies. A character that lends itself well to all situations that benefit from absolute note clarity and a direct, unobstructed responsiveness between fingers and instrument.
Composite fretboard
The black composite fretboards of the Prog series guitars not only contribute to their mesmerizing look, but to their smooth playing feel, stability, and exceptionally fast note tracking as well.
.strandberg* EGS Tremolo Bridge
Prog series guitars feature the proprietary EGS Tremolo bridge, a .strandberg* original design that offers unparalleled tuning stability, smooth response, and a full tone. This is the bridge of choice for players who wish to explore the creative possibilities of a tremolo bridge without limitations.
The Prog series guitars entered the scene in 2017 as a part of the first comprehensive .strandberg* lineup expansion aiming to offer specialized families of instruments to specific kinds of players. The Prog series was developed as the tremolo-equipped and darker-looking sibling to the Original guitars and share their light, clear, and very defined tone. These are the guitars of choice for players desiring the signature benefits of the .strandberg* design combined with exceptional note clarity, and a high-performance tremolo bridge.
See guitarsThe core of the Prog series guitars is their chambered Swamp Ash bodies with Maple tops combined with Maple necks and Composite fretboards that produce a tone that is naturally lively with pronounced note clarity and fast response. The proprietary .strandberg* EGS hardware then firmly transfers the strings’ vibrations to the body for robust sustain and strong fundamentals, while the American-made Suhr or Fishman pickups with diverse switching options provide the wide variety of electrified characters needed for the progressive performer.
See guitarsThe 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 trapezoidal EndurNeck neck profile that guides the fretting hand into a more relaxed and efficient playing position. The Prog series takes these features further by possessing a dark yet natural look combined with enhanced creative possibilities.
