Here, Boaz is presenting the different generations of the modular guitar tuning machine, starting from the wooden 25 years old initial model and up to the current system.
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.
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
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.
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. ❤✌🏾
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!

Know this is about tuners, but I love that color guitar.

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

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