Hope to see them on the market soon . I have had many guitars over the years , and if I live to be 300 years old I might learn how to play . I have a 1978 Taylor 810 that is my go to guitar now and have had it for a number of years , but it would be fun to have a "Boaz" guitar for fun . I wish you the best of luck getting them on the market . I would love to be able to donate to your project but thats not realistic on my retirement check . Good luck .
There is a considerable amount of interest in your beautiful guitar. I am subscribing to your channel in hopes of hearing details of a release to the public, crowdfunding etc. you sir are a true genius !
Excellent Boaz! I am subscribed to "The Guitologist" and found you via his introduction. Yes, absolutely I want one and I am so glad that you plan to make it affordable, this way I will actually be able to afford to get one myself in the near future. I subscribed and will be looking forward to seeing this beauty arrive to marketplace. Edit. $ 200 Wow! Perfect!
Kickstarter joined. BAsic model only, but the future looks bright for this. I can't wait until June next. Absolutely brilliant design. Boaz, you have created the "People's Guitar." CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Seen your guitar on The Guitologist channel,and he's right,not since Leo Fender has a guitar concept been genius in design!! Please also market your bridge design for other guitars.That would open another avenue for your designs ,thanks to Brad and you to put this guitar in the limelight.😎👍
Congrats as you have made history. This is ahead of it's time but way too long to hit mainstream welcome this with all heart. Kick ass product. I will fund.
This would be a great product to sell on Amazon. In the US, Amazon is a very popular online marketplace that is well known for great customer service, fast shipping and quality products at low prices.
I also subscribed because of your appearance on Brad the Guitologist's channel. Please post a link to your IndieGogo or crowdfunding page! I think a lot of people will want in on this.
I am always up for innovation and this seem to be a complete reinvention of the electric guitar, bringing it to the next level. I'm especially interested in the bridge as I would love to have one of those on any of my guitars. Sadly, many (if not most) guitarists are quite conservative and locked in a very traditional way of thinking about the guitar. All the different types of wood and growth patterns, finishes, types of laquer, nut material, shapes of the headstock etc. and the guitar has almost become just as much a piece of furniture as it is an instrument these days. And think about all the decades of debate between guitarists about how all these things effect or doesn't effect the sound on a guitar and the individual guitar-identities that's sprung from these debates and opinions. The guitar has become almost like a religion with all these different branches and all of us hang from at least one or more of these branches, believing we know what's best. I'm myself "guilty" of this to a certain extent as I have lots of opinions and preferences, that's simply human nature. But just think about how much money some people are willing to spend on a brand new guitar that has been made to look exactly like an "iconic" guitar of their favourite guitarist, with "vintaging" being done to it in order to match every single scratch, wear and tear that has accumulated on the real thing over the years. Just like some people buy expensive, new jeans with holes and wear marks to make it look like a pair of really worn-in jeans that's been through hell and back. I wonder how many old, rich farts there are in the world who has, for example - a copy of a vintaged Slash signature Gibson Les Paul, who has never stood on a stage in their entire life and yet their LP looks like it's been all over the world and back several times over the past 20-30 years, and it was actually bought recently for a shit-load of money and they hardly ever play on the thing. Now, that's an extreme example but it goes to show just what the mindset is like when it comes to guitars. This fine instrument that Mr. Elkayam has developed over the past 25 years beautifully solves a lot of the inherent problems with the guitar as an instrument and kind of circumvents a lot of them by going back completely to the drawingboard and never creating them in the first place. The only thing that is missing for this to go viral is that furniture aspect of our relationship to the guitar. That's really not something you could easily solve since it's actually a part of the inherent problems with the guitar, both in terms of the wood in a guitar being sensitive to temperature and moisture swings as well as adding substantially to the cost of production. But still, we do have a long lasting relationship to these aspects of our precious instruments and they are not easily erased, no matter how much more sense the Boaz One makes. To give another example of how conservative guitarists are regarding tradition, just look at the True Temperament fretboard. Here comes a guy from Sweden and solves the biggest built-in problem to any guitar that has ever been built - The fact that no guitar can be in-tune all over the neck. A guitar always has to be tuned so that a certain amount of compensation or compromise is made on each string's tuning in order for the guitar to sound enough in tune for your ears not to bleed when you play it. Guitarists all over the world, constantly having to adjust their tuners slightly when they play on different areas of the neck, different chord progressions etc. And here we now have a fretboard that fixes this problem once and for all and lots of guitarists whine about the way it looks, saying it's ugly how the frets aren't straight. So the fact that an instrument is 100% correctly in tune is (to many people) secondary to how well it matches our expectations and traditions. And if how well an instrument is in-tune isn't more important than traditional looks then that should tell you quite a bit about how conservative many guitarists are. In fact, I wish Boaz Elkayam made a deal with True Temperament and made a Boaz One TT which would drastically reduce the cost of making one of these fretboards since the Boaz One neck is made using a mold. That would make this a done deal for me. I would buy that guitar instantly and forget all about carved, quilted maple tops, different colored sunbursts and the rest of it. I would get a Boaz One TT and never look back.
Mr. Lewitzki I truly enjoyed reading your short article and more important that I agree with most of the things you say. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Boaz
@@boazelkayam5671 And a Merry Christmas to you too Mr. Elkayam. I hope everything is progressing with your project and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your awesome guitar for sale soon.
I may have missed the answer. Are the necks including the frets part of a single moulding? If so it would be great to see something like the true temperament system, which I'm guessing would be much easier to manufacture than using traditional fretting methods.
I think you're a very forward thinker as far as lutherie goes. It's a shame that some of these other guitar companies don't have the same passion and drive that you do
Boaz, I just watched "The Guitologist" video of this guitar and would like to know if there is a good email address that I could reach you on. Thank you
We are launching a Crowdfumding ( Indiegogo ) campaign on July 30. We will ship to the phillippines. The first 100 for $250 and the rest for $399. Here is the link for the registration form: boazone.modularguitar.com/
Absolutely brilliant. Please release this guitar soon. Once your 1st batch are ready, I would love to buy & feature a guitar for the Indian audiences on my show "Guitar Gear Gyan" on ua-cam.com/users/ssjproductions
LOL!!! Nothing like a Ludite for hating on something they've never touched, handled, or tried. A true sign of a small, unimaginative mind. Metal frets will wear out BEFORE these plastic frets will.
I'm very happy for you, my new friend. It was nice meeting you and getting to play this lovely innovation.
You should be distributor. I am already thinking about the amp in case or amp in body.I want it to have it with fishman triple play.
Thanks Brad, I am also very interested in seeing this guitar become available. I live in Lexington so if you become a dealer I will definitely buy it.
@@taotuhao5969 he should become a distributor... Very exciting.
Can’t wait until next summer when mine arrives. 1 guitar, 3 different tonal options; this is a gigging musician’s dream come true.
Congratulations Boaz would enjoy seeing one and playing one.
Finally! Thank you for the extra fingerboard between the edge of the E strings. That allows for extreme bending. Put me on the first buyers list.
Kickstarter campaign in March/2019 - watch for it

Hey Boaz you have something pretty cool there.....I'd like to buy you a few beers at the pub and chat guitar stuff. Great idea!!! -Bill B
Cool guitar, what about adding an acoustic body if it is possible?
I wish to buy one Boaz, where can I get one at??? Thanks and Shalom from NW Montana

Excellent question! This is likely the answer to the high cost of the true temperament system!
A guitar for the masses...
בהצלחה!
Awesome guitar! Will you produce a lefthanded models as well?
Yes. In the not so far future
A mind that thinks is a beautiful thing...
I think you're a very forward thinker as far as lutherie goes. It's a shame that some of these other guitar companies don't have the same passion and drive that you do
Came here from Brad's channel. Any plans to make these available for us poor lefties? Shalom!
After the campaign, in the not so far future
that's cool
That means wow
When this guitar gonna be available???? for buy????
The injection molds must have cost a fortune! Is the body rotation molded?
When can I buy this??
One question.... WHEN!
You said the guitar was neck heavy. There are ways to work around that with the right strap, but that will be a problem for many players.
Are these available now?
How about built in tuner?
Where can i buy one?
How much will it cost to make one of those design for someone? and how can i order one?

בועז, יש סיבה שאתה לא יוצר גרסה מבוססת עץ של המודלים האלה?
נראה לי שגרסה מעץ יכולה להיות שוס לנגנים שמחפשים סאונד של עץ.
מתי הגיטרה תהייה אפשרית לקנייה???
מדהיםםםםםםםםם בועז,איזה יופי של גיטרה. מה העלות שלה בבקשה? תודה רבה.
התצורה הבסיסית תעלה כ800 ש"ח!
SOOONJE ^^^**>
It should be called the Boaz Oceanic
A good proof that wood doesn’t matter in electric guitars
You know there won't be any dead notes on that neck.
Cool design, but it seems like a solution in search of a problem.
How about an email address for Boaz?
Thanks to you the guitar industry will finally move on...because after Leo and Les up to now is been "trying" only to get better at economics.
Arent Danelectro plastic bodies?
Absolutely brilliant. Please release this guitar soon. Once your 1st batch are ready, I would love to buy & feature a guitar for the Indian audiences on my show "Guitar Gear Gyan" on ua-cam.com/users/ssjproductions

Fishman triple play
Suggest a name... "Constructor"... Boaz Constructor?

After a successful campaign!
Why?🤷
You should look for a big company , American or Chinese it doesn't matter
Plastic fretboard with optional metal frets? Ok, moving on.
LOL!!! Nothing like a Ludite for hating on something they've never touched, handled, or tried. A true sign of a small, unimaginative mind.
Metal frets will wear out BEFORE these plastic frets will.
