Hi Boaz, i read about you in a premium guitar magazine a from June 2011. I heard you carved a guitar using one knife. Do you remember what kind of knife you used to carve the guitar or anything about that? I really want to try it to see if I should take up being a luthier. Seems like such a test. ❤✌🏾
I like the bridge!👍🏼 How about essy interchangeable and adjustable nuts out of different materials: compensated, brass, steel, high action for slide,... maybe soft material for jazz. Same for the bridge: swapable inserts for different sound. Cheers
I've use the Steinberger headless tuners. I think it's a great system. No issues with its use. In terms of the technical difference and engineering issues I couldn't comment. But from a practical strand point I'm happy with either. I use a flip top locking nut wth my whammy equipped guitar I've had over 30 years. I love that solution over the Allen key. Also I hate the trems that require you to clamp the strings. I've broken one or two over the years when tightening the clamp on the high e string. It is often hard to find a replacement saddle. Hate that design as if you don't tighten enough it obviously slips out.
The best tuners I have experienced were on my friends Steinberger type headless Yamaha Bass. The tuners were a screw type. Perfect accuracy for tuning, perfectly stable even after very long periods of non-use. The instrument had been lent out and damaged, but I was amazed at the stability and especially the sustain that this instrument has. My $3000.00 EBMM Axis has a Floyd Rose that drives me insane, I have to tune and mess with strings coming out of the clamps. It is for sale. I'm always amazed at big companies like Gibson who will sell you a very expensive instrument with Kluson tuners that are nearly unusable in a professional application. I want to buy a dozen Boaz 1 instruments for sale and for my students.
If you’re looking for opinions, I have used “conventional” headstock tuners and Steinberger setups or tuning keys at the bridge side of the body and been perfectly happy with both.
Boaz, you are a true visionary. This modular guitar is crazy and wonderful.
Ooo love the blue body!

I really like that blue body with the white cartridge! I hope they offer different color choices in the future for both!

I don't know about tuners but I LOVE that blue body!
Know this is about tuners, but I love that color guitar.

Hello Boaz, I have been thinking about your guitar. how much longer until they are available to purchase?
2 years ago and the guitar is still not completed. When will you update the backers Boaz? Why are you scared to communicate?
