Anyone here playing a Strandberg Boden 8 Standard? Tips for getting close to Tosin’s tone without Fishman Fluence pickups?

I recently got a Strandberg Boden 8 Standard (with the stock pickups), and I’m trying to dial in a tone that’s somewhat close to Tosin Abasi’s sound. I know he uses Fishman Fluence pickups, but since I don’t have those, I’m curious:

  • Is anyone here using the same guitar?
  • How are you approaching Tosin’s tone with stock pickups?
  • Any gear, EQ, or amp sim recommendations to help shape that percussive, clean-yet-heavy vibe?

Appreciate any advice or tone tips!
