I'm so glad that you interacted with Brad and let him demo this guitar because I think this thing is a very Innovative forward-thinking process Boaz.... cudos2u Mr."Leo Fender type genius".....
Brilliant. I think the name brand guitar companies have been resting on their laurels for far too long. They're more interested in manufacturing high-priced pseudo-collectibles than anything really new and helpful. good on you for disrupting the industry. I wish you well.
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.
Boaz Elkayam is con artist who took hundreds of thousands of dollars in preorders and crowdfunds but never delivered any instruments. 3 years and no product but plenty of excuses. a scam is a scam is a scam.
Any attempt to create a bridge that is flawless and works well has to be commended, and mr boaz has gone the extra mile with many other features and previously overlooked possibilities, for this instrument, while at the same time maintaining a traditionl look and appeal ,lets face it, tradition can benefit from innovation & inspiration if applied responsibly.
You cant be serious. You gave him MORE money? What all the people that gave money in 2019 and haven't gotten anything yet. Is this BOAZ posting under a fake account?
@@Jimmy-rd5ig the claim that no one has received a delivery is misinformation propagated by the Big Music industry to keep the little company down. Boaz says they've delivered 2,300 units which is 90% delivery. I just paid my third installment of $1,750, which expedites me to the front of the line for the next lot of deliveries.
You can't buy one. It's a scam. No one has received anything. People bought $450k worth for the Kickstarter at 2019 and not one person has received a guitar. Stay far far away from this scam. Do your research
The third option looks marketable to us Bed Room Virtuosos. This concept is nothing new or exciting and most importantly what are the sonic qualities of that plastic ?
Super Cool! We love Boaz One design, can't wait to have one~~!!

Also a lefty. I see potential in this.
Left here as well. Same.
I'm a lefty. Will you make one left? I will sign up now if you do.
Same
I just gave Boaz another $1,750 for the Kickstarter. This thing is awesome. My first delivery is promised to arrive any day now.

@@searching4adventure85 hahaha ok Boaz. Nice one. Not pulling one on me
@@searching4adventure85 Bernie Madoff comes to mind.... Some fools still think they will get their money back from him.
Droppen lodes like a dump truck in here
Where's my guitar?
how can i buy one who sells this instrument
How much it cost in Indian rupees
