The Sälen NX TBS is a seriously well-built instrument. The fan fret system really opens up the harmonic possibilities, and those Suhr pickups give you a fantastic, balanced vintage tone – not too scooped, not too aggressive. It's ideal for players looking for a modern, ergonomic feel with a classic, refined voice, especially those exploring progressive rock, jazz fusion, or nuanced clean tones.
