Watch
Why it matters
The Boden shape is the design that made headless guitars a mainstream choice again, and the Original series sits at the top of the standard production range. Removing the headstock changes the balance on a strap and the reach to the first fret more than most players expect. Original models list around $2,599, with the Standard and Essential lines below them in the range.
Note
The signature lightweight headless platform (6/7/8, multiscale).

Before you buy
- Multiscale fingerboards change fret spacing, so play one before ordering
- Headless tuners and end-pin hardware are brand-specific, so spares come from a single source
- Multiscale layouts take a little adjustment when playing chords high on the neck
