QR Code Link to This Post
For sale is an exceptionally rare Strandberg Boden Metal 7, 10th Anniversary Edition in Silver, built in early 2020. Strandberg produced only five of each 10th Anniversary model worldwide in Silver and Gold finishes. Of this run, just two were allocated to the U.S., two to Europe, and one to Japan.
This guitar was originally purchased by my son, a professional touring musician, who had long admired Strandberg instruments. He played it extensively at home during the pandemic, but it has never been gigged and remains in excellent condition. Since returning to full-time touring (200+ gigs a year), he now plays conventional 6-string guitars exclusively, and this instrument has been stored safely in our closet for the past four years.
I eventually adopted it, but I simply can’t get along with a 7-string. It’s far too special an instrument to sit unused, so we’ve decided it’s time to let it go.
Specs (as configured by Strandberg):
7-string Boden Metal
10th Anniversary Silver finish
Ebony fretboard
Fishman pickups
Roasted maple neck (to the best of my knowledge)
Condition & Extras:
Excellent condition, no gigs, no abuse
Professionally set up (receipt included in gig bag)
Includes original Strandberg gig bag, OEM tools
Two unopened boxes of Stringjoy 7-string Light strings
G7 capo for 7-string necks (mine—my son never uses a capo)
The guitar is ready to play.
Trying It Out
You’re welcome to come play it at our home in Washington, DC. Despite the location, parking is easy. I have a very clean jazz amp available, or feel free to bring your own.

This is a special instrument, and while it’s hard to let go, I’m hoping it finds a good home. If we do business, let’s keep it pleasant and respectful. Most people on CL are great—the rest can simply move along.
