Product Overview
The Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition provides many of the acclaimed features of the wildly popular and beloved Sälen Jazz but is equipped with the EGS Rev 7 tremolo bridge to add greater versatility with vibrato effects and textures. There are two versions of this model available: one with the .strandberg* Plini Edition bridge humbucker and the other with the Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker. The .strandberg* Plini Edition bridge humbucker wound by the late Michael Frank has a slightly warmer yet more balanced and modern sound while the Suhr™ SSH+ provides a more traditional humbucker sound with slightly more gain and cutting high-mids.
All the other specs are identical with the Suhr™ Classic T single-coil pickup in the neck position and a 3-way switch with custom wiring and one volume pot to provide a plethora of great humbucker and single-coil sounds to cover virtually any musical genre and playing style with minimalist simplicity. The Sälen’s unique body shape exudes a more traditional and classy aesthetic as well as modernism that is eye-catching as it is ergonomically functional.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
The Sälen NX 6 Tremolo Plini Edition was designed in conjunction with Plini and was engineered and produced to be sonically versatile but aesthetically minimalist. With the EGS Pro Rev 7 tremolo system, the Sälen is now capable of producing a wide range of vibrato effects and textures that had only been possible on Boden models equipped with the same tremolo system. Robust, solid, smooth, and reliable, the EGS 7 tremolo is easy to operate and stays in tune. The .strandberg* Plini Edition or Suhr™ SSH+ bridge humbucker and the Suhr™ Classic T single-coil pickup deliver a wide range of sounds from heavy and mean to twangy and warm. The 3-way switch is custom wired to provide three exceptional sounds that respond with superb sensitivity to volume pot adjustments. Sometimes less is indeed more.
