I know him, he hand makes everything, spokeshaves the necks down all of it, his acoustics are phenomenal. It’s amusing you want to know what he’s saying cause he directed me to you to do the same thing
Those robot tuners would come in handy on something like this to get you up to pitch fast.
I thought the same thing
@@TheGuitologisthey Brad do you still have the same Gmail account from like 5 years ago? Would like to talk to you about customizing a gibson hawk amp for me
Really cool, Brad. Thank you! I suppose I could see a production unit between $1100 and $1300 that would include a few of the items you mentioned and definitely foldable or attachable bouts stuffed somewhere in the case. It would probably be considerably more building one unit at a time.
Brad, My mind is blown!!! This guy is a frickin genus!!!!!! He reminds me of Leo Fender in the way that he is an accomplished inventor, engineer, and Luther !!! I was stationed in Japan for 4 years with the USAF Bands and they love American guitars! Their illegal law suit copies were the seed that started Fender Japan.thanks for your wonderful videos!!!
How funny, because we Americans LOVE Japanese guitars.
YES! This is what I've always what the perfect 'travel guitar' should be like!
Two thoughts about this.
1. Not practical. There will be far more problems down the road than _any_ benefit you might get from this product. A total waste of time and money for any player out there. There are far better ideas and designs for a travel guitar.
2. Totally awesome!
From an industrial design perspective, this thing is pure art. A total museum piece that belongs in any collection, not just restricted to a musical collection.
...I want two of each.
commenting and liking for the algorithm
Same
It destroyed my little Shorts channel as well. The algorithm is an absolute joke and there's no way they don't punish more traditional/right leaning channels. ANY Clapton solo I'd upload would CLEARLY slow my growth because they hate anybody mentioning him since he didn't stay with the "narrative" during covid. They clearly want to cancel him AND his fans.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973just post ur stuff and shut up. Left,right etc. Nonody cares. If your videos aren't sh#t, theyll gain traction.but you need a 3year old channel that's got hundreds of videos steadily uploaded. That's what makes money and that's all they care about.its the only way to please the almighty algorithm
Hey Brad...hmmm dunno...I vaguely remember seeing something like those guitars in an old Japanese guitar magazine from the late 70's/early 80's. I used to get different Japanese guitar magazines back in the 80's and they were full of guitar advertising from all kinds of shops. It seemed like innovative travel sized instruments and other novelty designs were fairly common . I was always amazed at what the Japanese were producing that we never saw in the West, for the most part. Although that fellow is obviously very talented, imho I don't think there would be much of a market for the folding portable guitar other than as an interesting novelty. Thanks fir the video.Cheers!
Likely would be a large market in a place like Japan. Personal space (even in the home) is at a premium there. I myself would pick one up depending on the price and quality. Much easier to travel with than a full rig or even acoustic. I have a few Japanese guitars - including a marquis/Polaris HB. They can make quality instruments for certain - and make them reasonably inexpensive. Good video.
Never understood travel size guitars. I’ve traveled. Planes, trains, automobiles…lol. Never had a problem with a full size guitar case. I took public transportation for years, taking my favorite guitar everyday. I do understand how cool the design is here. But travel guitars leave a lot to be desired.
You can't put a full sized electric in a planes overhead compartment. That's what it's all about, carry on.
I was thinking if the guy tunes up and plays stairway to heaven I’m out of here 😆😆😆
Very interesting. The Japanese thinking is: compact, but with extreme attention to detail. Also, they will try things that corporate America mindset would never approve into production. Just take all the unusual electronics designs from Matsushita and Sony in the 1970s.
Or consider Olfa paper cutters. It's just a paper cutter, but when you inspect the plastic molding, it's perfect. And they have a cartridge model you can load 5 blades into, it has a back door. Genius.
I think that Darryl Braun just reviewed something very similar on his channel. But it's far more engineered. But a very similar idea with the lever on the back. Edited to add this link th-cam.com/video/K0IV_DcMtPY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Yes I've seen that guitar somewhere before,(believe it was Derell Braun channel ) but it didn't impress me enough to even remember it's name, the lever in the back stretches the strings back in tune,probably the best travel guitar I've seen,but I'm not even into them, a guitar to me, has to have a neck that doesn't fold and a body big enough to hold,I would have loved that guitar when I was a kid, back in my 007 & man from uncle days ect,but now I seek better tones and playability, not portability.
.
In his bass video, he opened up the neck and locked the body and the strings were almost perfectly in tune. I think that's part of his design.
lol Brad....I literally just watched the maker vid on this. Timing! And pretty interesting indeed...XD
I'm an international traveling businessman and daily practitioner of guitar. Every time I go on a long trip the only way I can get to sleep is by imagining I'm playing a guitar instead of counting sheep. This is a god send. He should find a quality manufacturer and start by selling in the duty free. Seems like an odd place to sell an instrument, but I have a hunch it would do surprisingly well and get great global marketing at the same time. Had I seen this at my last stop i would not hesitate to buy this. I'm not sure what it should be priced at, but the convenience is next level. That in itself would add value to this amazing creation.
The case is cool, but honestly you can have a soft case to pack in a carry-on suitcase with a small modeler with headphone jack. fkg genius! Also AAFES (Army, Airforce Exchange) in deployed areas over seas wouldn't be able to keep this thing in stock. Bored soldiers would be all over this!
I only saw this on a TH-cam video myself a few days ago, isnt it great?
Only thing I can see as a negative is ....looks like it would be hard to play anything above the 14th fret....otherwise that's freaking amazing....I'd get one
Ciari Guitars has gone around at NAMM the last few years and has been featured on a few channels recently. They make a similar guitar design with a neck that folds back using a special mechanism, but their guitars have a full body and headstock. They have several stock models and configs and can make customs design. It’s actually not a ton of money for what it is and the fact that it’s made in Nashville - they start at $1599. Have you seen that brand? Would be interesting to compare the Ciari design to this one.
I filmed those at the 2019 NAMM.
It's brilliant Brad, but how many closet guitarists do you know?
It's no good to take on holiday, you'd miss your flight as a security team attempts to defuse it. It also falls short when it comes to posing.
I'm taking the piss of course. I'm taken a break from plinking a f'king ukulele to make a comment. Baby sitting my grandson has its ups and downs.
thats already a thing, the company is named ciari, made in Nashville. also i think it was on shark tank
Their neck folds but body doesn’t collapse like this.
yeah they gonna sale like Hotcakes when it comes out .... I want one , worth at least 1000.00 But he needs to add a Beer Koozie on top!!!
Dude I could bring that shit on the motorcycle so good! Card slamming on the table meme
Dude that metal ratchet thing is hanging on my wall right now. It's a damn can cruncher!?
I think it's cool. Function over form taken to its limit.
Yes I'd be interested in buying let me . Let me know where when it goes on the market
Liking & commenting because reasons
Hey Brad, I can always count on you to get me out of Strat and Tele stick in the mud land. You turned me on to sooo much. Boaz guitars, Kiesel guitars, cool amps that were under the radar, your guitar that was gifted to you, the list goes on and on. Great video. Thank you for all of your hard work.🎸🎻🎸🎻
I used to wanna make stuff like this. Then I realized it's cool but it's just a gimmick. No-one is actually gonna bust this out on stage nightly. And it's just cool. No real practical purpose.
And this is a ripoff build if it's not one from the 70's.
It seems them 'rolling tuners' on your Guitarologist build-off guitar would work on these guitars to help it from bumping out of tune and less bulky. Great vid.
Great point!
Great to see you back Brad. Would be interesting to try one of those. I wonder how hard it would be in making, to price it.
don't let fender see this or he'll go by the way of epstein
I would love have one of those for motorbike trips I bet they are a small fortune though
Hey! Another xtc fan! Yippee
😁@@TranceMasterJack
Really nice - he has a Strat-style output jack on the Strat case, and a Tele style jack for the tele guitar. Hey Brad - good to see you back man!
Isn't that 007's travel rig?
Westone Brand used to build headless rail basses. Good to see you again Brad. Thanks for posting.
Westone/Fender/Silvertone hybrid lol
That was ultra cool!
Who would actually buy that?
Bad Brad world's second greatest Dad!! (sorry bruh but I got the top billing on the dad delio)
Bro, I had a buddy who combed his hair with balloons also!!
OH! BOOM! BUMPADUMP TSHHHHHHH!!! HEY, THANKS FOR COMIN OUT MY PEEPS, I'M HERE ALL WEEK, SO TELL YOUR FRIEND!
Take care Brad-Bro, another interesting informative video!!

The James Bond of Guitars. Article at Guitar World published 13 hours ago. Built by a man with the last name Shimano. Looks like everything goes black after that. still searching.
I just had a patent search undertaken, and unbelievably dude didn't bother to patent it!!
So, guess what I did? BWAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
If you guessed I lied through my manly, carp scented mustache you'd be CORRECT SIR!!
Jack ~'()'~
I was comparing old Voxes with a fellow in The Mighty Diamonds once and he had a Palm Wah behind the bridge on his Teardrop VI. Very practical it seemed like. 🎸
For the amp, if Positive Grid built a little Spark into that case, that be awesome.
Guitar of the future...or piece of junk from the past? I've got my eye on a Steinberger Spirit Pro with a NUX Mighty Amp 3 and headphones for travel purposes. It comes in a gig bag and doesn't fold but it's headless with (I think) a more elegant tuning machine solution, loaded with 3 pickups, 5-way selector, lap enabler and a whammy bar. These are going in the $349 - $399 range. I'm not crazy about folding the guitar and strings and being so far out of tune just to fit it in a smaller case, even with an amp. That bass was pretty cool though.
seems like you could have a folding wing or attatchment to make the body more ergonomic. definitely seems like a better mousetrap. cool find.
Sorry if it was mentioned but reminds me of the rail from westone.
Or Les Paul's folding "Log"...
I HAVE ONE of THOSE CASES!! Wouldn't mind putting my Pignose or other cool tube amp like that new stuff coming out- INTO IT!!! YEAH!!! This guy is a TRIP. Wish I knew if they licensed these YET?
I had a Silvertone amp in case back in 1973, was my first electric guitar!
Yeah guitars aren’t portable instruments at all .
How will I ever fit my guitar into my car ?
STUPIDITY KNOWS KNOW BOUNDARIES
I asked Bard this question: is yugi shimano known as a guitar builder?
Bard's answer:
Yes, Yugi Shimano is a well-known guitar builder. He is known for his meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. His guitars are highly sought-after by musicians around the world.
Shimano began building guitars in his early 20s. He was initially self-taught, but he later studied under some of the world's most renowned guitar makers. He opened his own workshop in Japan in the early 1990s, and he quickly gained a reputation for building some of the finest guitars in the world.
Shimano's guitars are known for their exceptional tone and playability. He uses only the finest materials and construction methods. He also pays close attention to the individual needs of each customer, and he tailors each guitar to the customer's specific playing style and preferences.
Some of the most famous musicians who play Yugi Shimano guitars include Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Sting. Shimano's guitars have also been featured on numerous recordings and in films.
Shimano is a true master of his craft. He is a gifted craftsman who builds some of the finest guitars in the world. His guitars are highly prized by musicians around the world for their exceptional tone and playability.
If bard is AI, I would take that with a grain of salt. Especially the players who played them. Sometimes they just throw random things in that sound true.
@@kevinr.3542 Bard is AI and you're right, AI gets stuff wrong all the time so I do take it with a grain of salt.... although it's right a lot of the time too.
yeah i remember asking Chat GPT about some random song lyrics by Phish. Lyrics that are pretty obscure but definitely available online and well established. its answer was so confusing; it had SOME correct lyrics mixed with random lines from Roundabout by YES. it was really hung up on those YES lyrics, particularly "Mountains come out of the sky and STAND THERE" (which i always found to be somewhat comedic due to their anti climatic nature-like thats all they did?). the answer seemed realistic tho if one didnt know better they would think the lyrics were accurate.
when i saw the list of famous players who supposedly play this guys guitars, i got similar vibes. if this guy sold guitars to Clapton and the like, i feel like there would be way more information about him and he wouldn't be so hard to find. Bards answer sounds like he was talking about a different luthier just like chat pgt was giving me lyrics to a completely different song. or maybe im wrong and this guy actually put his guitars in some famous hands. but long story short these AIs lie with full confidence and its odd.
You "asked Bard"..?! Does this Bard actually take audio questions, and answer back, audibly..?!
I've just seen written questions, with written responses from AI. Does this version work audibly..?!🤔👍💯✌️
I agree. I've gotten some very wacky responses and Bard can tell a lie better than anyone! He's always quick to apologize if you call him out on it but you have to double check for sure. @@kevinr.3542
I'd pay $800 as it is in the video, but the sky is the limit if it was total state of the build with the neck and body made out out of the same type heavier-than-wood resin that Steinberger uses on their basses and guitars. I'm a huge fan of Steinberger bass guitars. My buddy has the first series and I always avoided playing it until one night I was really under the weather and he swore I could be half asleep and the Steinberger would damn near play itself. It felt so good playing it I forgot about being ill.
My 1983 Japanese made Electra is STILL better than most of my $40,000 guitar collection … love them all but I’m sold on vintage electras
What up Brad , not seen you in a while, I remember you got some Dj turntable’s and Dj equipment, some time ago, I’ve always wondered if you got the turntables working, it did comment, saying with ur electrical skills you should be able fix them, just curious 👍🏽
In every way this is excellent and I doubt any American companies move a thing right now, but everything music free m Japan is already happening and trustworthy plus quality are tiny expressions on factual purchases from Japan. But, if anyone emulates this they will find success. Very good 👍 thanks.
Mabey Yuji Shimano and Boaz Elkayam can collaborate on 3D printing in metal and plastic these folding guitars for mass production. I wonder how well as you say Brad is the 'Into-Nation" on
these guitars.
Well, I thought his design was brilliant. Liked, subscribed and commented I found his TH-cam post via “The Guitilogist”
I might go upwards of $500 for one, depending on build quality and sound.
I would have to have a return and refund guarantee though.
Sorry.....do not like it.... it's ugly....have no interest in owning one....and most important..... you're not going to impress the chicks with that🤔😲🤣😝😂
This is how a serial killer puts all of his guitars away.... before burying them in the garden....
On a side note this is fantastic for small ladies, little people and peeps who are chonks. Because you've weight relieved so much AND you've got rid of all the wood that makes playing a guitar uncomfortable if you're carrying extra padding in the chesticles. We've all seen that person playing a strat and that upper horn cuts into them like a butcher against the chest. Saddle bag Sally or Orangutan Reggie this guitar keeps you free.
I genuinely hope this guy makes a bunch of money off this where his company gets bought out and the line increases in fidelity and availability. There would be people interested in an all aluminium guitar for sure. Or aluminium and carbon fibre. Too many things you can try just with materials and pickups. Clearly you could take any modelling amp or small valve amp and retrofit it to a similar cavity. Tons of options.
$750 USD is probably the limit that people would spend but only possible if these were mass produced. There's an opportunity with that empty case to use transducers. Could be a unique sound for sure. Very cool and that guy is a natural engineer, no doubt.
I'm surprised he doesn't have inflatable carbon fiber origami fold out sides you pump up with the same lever that folds it open.
I found this video fun, informative, and hopefully you can help this genus get an American patent on this. Looks like it could be profitable!💫
Unreal!! That’s what it is.. unreal..how absolutely kool is that!! I’m sure he’s heard from Fender by now..
I came across that video also and i agree, it's a fantastic idea and pretty clever how it expands.
I could see this next to my cigar box guitar.....in my garage. The design is cool, I cant deny that, but who is this for? I feel that when you get to a stage in your life where you have to have a guitar on you at all times, chances are you are also someone who is particular about tone and playability. Like that dude who checks his truss rods twice a week. I have to carry a case no matter what, might as well be a strat. As far as the amp, I'd prefer a bose L1 compact. I can carry that over my shoulder and not sound like crap. Roland also has some portable battery powered options that sound great. Whatever, love the channel, would never buy anything like this.
You an buy these the brand is Ciari, cost about $1,600. They do a double cut that looks like a rounder jazz master that can fit in a reasonably small bag considering the guitar.. Really is a great idea.
awesomw awesome awesome///This is a great mind here///Ive been on the hunt for something like this for years//I have so so much to say about it/but im afraid i couldnt stop when I get started//Could do without the amp //but turn the case into the body somehow after you get out the insturment///Thanks so so much for sharing///Mac Puckett.
While it looks like interesting engineering, it doesn't look comfortable to play. And I doubt the market really needs another travel guitar. Plus, the need for travel guitars isn't all that big. But of course, if you build a better mousetrap...
MuHAHaha
I also made a cellphone amplifier back in the day.
With two dixie cups 😊 worked out well.
Looks like the opener mechanism is a can crusher
Cool gimmick , I wouldn’t let someone play anything like that in my bands honestly . How does it stay in tune jumping around ? But it does save someone a couple feet of space if someone has to Uber to band practice .
I make no apologies for being an old school tube amp guy. Or my bell bottom pants. Or making myself laugh. And I'm not kidding about the bells.
This passed thru my feed the other day too. The case is cool for sure--wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.
edit--He has some other interesting stuff too thanks for going down the rabbit hole for us. I bailed after watching the orig. video :)
It looks like you could easily hit the tuning peg accidentally during a tune and throw it off. I think 500 to 700 bucks would be a good price for it.
When I started playing guitar, I would have bought the folding tele. But now, I have enough guitars.
On his Facebook page he has said that he’d have to charge 50000 yen (approx 3300 USD).
You gotta think like Les Paul. I read his first solid body was a rail road tie. But know body noticed until he put a hollow body around it. I guess people hear with their eyes.
Cool guitar...Very little sustain...Its like an oar...You want a strat body....les paul....thick.....
It looks like junk and i bet it would be way more trouble than it's worth. Jesus, It's hard to spend a grand on a guitar that's got a decent neck in tune and playable, that thing looks like a nightmare.
thats a pig noe amp in the case i can tell by the speaker ond the jack and switch, pig nose sound awesome, you saw the guitra that used this mechanism before him right, it looks like he got one of the other brand folding guitar and used there latching system. if you search folding travel guitar youll find it
pretty darn neat there.. Tele of course... would like to see an added Gibson style line... cost.. ???? I have no idea what to even guess.
have seen the tension system before , it was on a more standard looking guitar , basicly folded in half , didnt stretched the body just locked the neck in straight
th-cam.com/users/shorts9UikI336mYA
You can not possible play the higher frets the body of the guitar makes it impossible. As i see it. It least not comfortable..
really funny youtube.. offering me a video that premiered 30 minutes ago
You kind of dig internet.
Super Cool and creative. Not my thing but I could see someone doing local gigs using it…..
It looks like he used the lever off an old foot air pump to create the extending mechanism. I really like how he used the Strat input jack by turning it inside out, or at least that’s what it looks like. Very creative and practical.
He could convert your Gibson 59 burst into a fold-up masterpiece.
Dave Braun had some kind of folding guitar on his Chanel a couple years ago with a lock down like that.
So..
Smaller is better.
Who'da-thunk! 😂😂
Somebody has just released a production model of a guitar just like this.
I would think that with as many tele's as he has had to hack up over the years, Junior Brown would be all over this bad boy !
Dude, can’t be bothered to research prior to filmmaking
Japan has done did it , They were about like that around 69
..just kind of too awkward to play
That's a really good idea of a traveling guitar, but you really screwed up the video to show it!
I thought the plastic guitar with the inter-changeable pickups was the future?? ;-)
What ever happened to those Israeli shysters that had the "greatest innovation in guitars in 70 years"? Boaz I think was his name
Please dont mention cigar box guitar hydrocephalus and this in the same breath.
You take junk and tweak it back in shape, so it being Japanese and maybe has a bad set up, you are also a luthier Brad 😳🙂
🦇💜🦇 Amazing!
Happy Halloween Everyone 🎃
Never happen - the draw of the guitar is not only the versatility and artistic input from the instrument itself , but it’s the archetypal “Guitar Hero” image , and this CONTRAPTION just DOES NOT LOOK COOL!!!
Your point is noted; however, the archetypal is passe for those of us who are over the "Guitar Hero" image. That IS the draw of this for someone like me. I'm more interested in the art and engineering of the device rather than the vanity of posing like some silhouetted visage. Besides, who else has a full rig in a briefcase they can carry around? The exclusivity of that alone is a draw, surely.
