Many players have embraced the Metal series guitars as their vessel of expression since its introduction in 2017, but even the most celebrated products can be improved. One of the most requested features in recent times has been the reintroduction of Roasted Maple necks, which is why the 2024 Metal models now feature Roasted Maple necks with jet-black Ebonol fretboards. The chambered Basswood body, EGS Rev7 hardware, and American-made Fishman pickups remain unchanged due to widespread acclaim and create a Boden Metal NX 8 with all the features that players have come to know and love with the addition of improved rigid stability.
