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!
You always have a good eye for stuff like this Brad, nice find!
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!
Very interesting video Brad.
That was ultra cool!
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.
I came across that video also and i agree, it's a fantastic idea and pretty clever how it expands.
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.🎸🎻🎸🎻
REALLY COOL VIDEO Bro!!!!!Thanks for spotlighting this travel guitar,absolutely one of the coolest guitar set ups I've ever seen.
Westone Brand used to build headless rail basses. Good to see you again Brad. Thanks for posting.
Westone/Fender/Silvertone hybrid lol
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.
I want this bass. Cool find, Brad.
Very cool! Love it
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!
Pretty damn cool! Thanks for sharing. 🍻
Wow! That is the most interesting idea I have seen in a while.
Nice share Brad
Looks like a lot of fun getting past the 12th fret !
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.
Very cool case guitar !
I saw this a few days ago and flipped this dude has it down. I am so glad you are covering this I would love to have this at an affordable price
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. 🎸
Thanks Brad, I have been trying to figure out how to share this video
good work
Very interesting and innovative . The cool factor alone may be worth owning for some .
Thanks!
Thank YOU, dude!
He’s back!!! 🦅🦅
I’ve thought about building a cigar box ukulele and then building a case for it with an amp built in but I haven’t gotten around to it. This guy took it to a whole new level, pretty impressive.
That's cool!
Brad, maybe a Fender briefcase to make the amp? Good to see you back bro!
I'd take this with me wherever I go! Loved how the bass was still in tune when it unfolded. Cool locking bass tuners!
Best looking travel guitars in my opinion, well cool
I had this EXACT idea a couple of years ago but I couldn't figure out how to actually build it. I was going around to other people asking them for ideas on how to hinge the neck and was told it would be too hard to do. Well this guy did it. I have to give him major props.
seems like you could have a folding wing or attatchment to make the body more ergonomic. definitely seems like a better mousetrap. cool find.
That is very cool. Reminds me of the ruger take down or the Kel tec Guitar. Expandable body. This is Wild. Built in amp. Wow. I think it says Blues Walker on the neck area.
Genius!
I had a Silvertone amp in case back in 1973, was my first electric guitar!
2010 I had the same idea for upward directing sound non powered phone case holster clip. Along with many other ideas. I saved them in notes app. I still have them. Lol
I think it's cool. Function over form taken to its limit.
This guy IS a genius! Subbed to his channel. Let us know if you find out any more about this. Thanks.
I would love have one of those for motorbike trips I bet they are a small fortune though
Hey! Another xtc fan! Yippee
😁@@TranceMasterJack
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.
.
Pretty damn cool. 😎
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.
Dave Braun had some kind of folding guitar on his Chanel a couple years ago with a lock down like that.
Cool! I'm an old guy, and I like my LP and my Strat though. I saw a really cool version of this a month or so ago on another channel. It was a lot more refined, but it is bigger and not as compact. No amp in case either, but pretty cool.
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!
Sweet!
I wonder if something like an evertune bridge would have an ability to work with a system like that. Glad to see you on the occasional video, hope all is well with you Brad 🤘
look up how an evertune works lol this is not viable
@@TommyWashow obviously not just by plopping one in, I'm well aware how an evertune works. I'm talking about the possibility of maintaining tension at some point in order to keep the mechanical system in place. Evertunes weren't designed for multiscale guitars either, but people figure interesting shit out by thinking outside the box.
@@TommyWashow Snapdragon guitars makes an Evertune folding guitar. I have one and it indeed works.
For ergonomics you could add a clippable thigh-rest. I recently saw a video demoing a thing like that.
Performaxe..I got 1 earlier this year.Gets the neck to a 45 degree angle.So you aren't hunched over.You can move it from guitar to guitar pretty easily.Electrics guitars only.Kinda expensive though..Been subbed to Brad's channel a long time..
I have seen a few videos with that nevk and a latch like that on the back
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.
🦇💜🦇 Amazing!
Happy Halloween Everyone 🎃
Super Cool and creative. Not my thing but I could see someone doing local gigs using it…..
For the amp, if Positive Grid built a little Spark into that case, that be awesome.
Dude that metal ratchet thing is hanging on my wall right now. It's a damn can cruncher!?
Cool!
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 like the "Scarred Guitars" from Sean
The gears in my head are turning. If I can find the time I might give this a shot with some 2x4s my drill press and a lathe
Make a video and let us know how it goes.
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.
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.
Unreal!! That’s what it is.. unreal..how absolutely kool is that!! I’m sure he’s heard from Fender by now..
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?
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.
lol Brad....I literally just watched the maker vid on this. Timing! And pretty interesting indeed...XD
60 Cycle Hum made a video interview with a guitar builder Mel Waldorf, in which he shows a bass of a similar folding design. The mechanism for applying string tension is different thou and it has a regular head with regular tuners.
Dude I could bring that shit on the motorcycle so good! Card slamming on the table meme
love the idea, and much of the design. I am not a fan of the extra wood restricting higher fret access.
Neat concept. The tech side I would wonder how the truss rod works. Intonation would likely drift a bit too. As a quality curiosity and whole package I think his price is not bad. But as we see with many things like this can he really make them and deliver them. For the time involved it does not scale well. If I saw one in person and it was exceptional quality maybe would feel okay at 2k. But for those prices it is more like buying an art piece. It's only worth what it means to you.
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.
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 :)
With this kind of bass I would gig
Somebody has just released a production model of a guitar just like this.
There’s a company marketing a similar guitar that folds in half, I’ve seen it on my Facebook feed a couple times
You're thinking of Ciari. I filmed those at the 2019 NAMM in Nashville. Bodies are much larger and don't collapse like this thing.
I loved the carry strap is also the guitar strap, he may have patented this, because I’ve seen one with that string mechanism on another channels review, Darrel ? Lives in Canada, he also finds boutique & unusual builders and parts, but the amp is cooler than the guitar😳😅
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
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
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.
Guitar world had an online feature on this today
I would buy this if I was a traveling musician. Might even gig with it. Innovation of the year, maybe the decade. Thanks, Im subscribing to him. It should be between 500 and 1K US.
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.
Sorry if it was mentioned but reminds me of the rail from westone.
Or Les Paul's folding "Log"...
It’s a fender harmonica case i believe
18:17 I thought the same thing, but the body wood goes too far up the neck and the hinge is just past the 12th fret so I guess that would explain it. Fret access is an issue but they'd be great played like a lap steel.
You're right about access, but no worse than a typical acoustic.
@@TheGuitologist バッグに入れるのが目的でした。そのため12Fで折りたたみました。フレッドボードは今のところ問題なし。ありがとうございます！
Yes I'd be interested in buying let me . Let me know where when it goes on the market
You would make a great ambassador for this project, simply by playing one. Potential buyers need to hear and see it being played.
Like you, I think the idea and design is genius but how is it for playability and practical purposes?
I do hope that you follow this story up. Exciting times potentially!
$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.
Add maybe a drive pedal and maybe a looper.
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.
An interface with usb connections you can connect with your laptop or iPad ect…
This inventor kicks ass, I hope some guitar company will license his idea! Incredible, love it. I would have one.. because of the fact that my silent guitar via Yamaha is now 1099 canadian, I would say it's there, however I would prefer it if there were a Kickstart for like 499.. if not, when I bought my first silent guitar in 2006 it was 699, so that would be a great starting point.. if they sell like hot cakes, ride that inflation tactic and jack-it-up every couple-a'yeerssss😂
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!💫
He could convert your Gibson 59 burst into a fold-up masterpiece.
Isn't that 007's travel rig?
I've been seeing his ads in my Facebook feed. I just ignored them. Looks cool though. I'm just not in the market for another guitar.
That would be weird if you saw ads for this guy. He doesn't appear to speak English and has no products for sale on his website.
@@TheGuitologist Maybe it wasn't an ad but someone showing his demo video.
Damn bro been missin your takes SPF needs to come back
