Bohemian Surf Wax Oil Can Guitar | Review

Sam Bell review the Bohemian Surf Wax Oil Can Guitar for issue 45 of Guitar Interactive magazine.

[AndyNyle]

does the type of oil used have effect on the sound?

[Melonos]

Does anyone know what scale he does when he's talking about the guitar?

[carpenoctem]

What kinda of amp settings/pedals are you running this through? Absolutely FILTHY sounds, I love it

[SiddharthKarunakaran]

It didn't have that sharp, dark, cutting kind of tone that prs core range guitars have. Hence it is proof that tone woods do make a difference to the sound. But hand tone usurps tonewood tone any time as Sam has ably demonstrated here. Hence what wood a guitar is made of should not be relevant to a beginner like me or other beginners out there and this guitar should do just fine to meet the needs of a beginner guitarist. The fretwork seems good. Sounded like a tube amp. The pickup seemed high quality but would probably hum a lot with high gain. Which is why if you are into metal or hard rock, you should stay away from p-90s and maybe even noiseful single coils and go for humbuckers. The guitar is just one part of the picture anyway. 21 frets and not 19 as mentioned. Please tell us your signal chain. Cheers.

Not the best sounding guitar I've ever heard, but surprisingly good!

[frankiecasper]

That's some fine pickin'. I have one of these.

[blastofo]

I tried 3 of em and they all had crazy sharp fret ends. Other than that they r cool.

The pickup hole is hideous though with gaps between pickup itself and guitar body.

I have a Boho. I use it for Busking. It really catches the eye on the street. This guy has a bad sense of timing when he plays and I don't think he did the the guitar any justice. He didn't put much effort into it. Go to their web site to get a better look at these guitars. They are pretty cool in the right setting.( Disclaimer: I am not compensated in any way by Bohemian Guitars to endorse their products. I am just a struggling artist who uses one and want them to get a fair shake)

[danswon]

I don't understand how the pickups and bridge are mounted to the body. Isn't it just thin aluminium with nothing inside?

[StephenFinkNRP]

I was hoping for some slide guitar... :(

[ccorrea]

This company is unethical they took a ukulele back for repair then refused to return/exchange instrument don't trust them they have an F rating on Better business bureau for a reason.

[rockertanski-v]

Sounded a bit tinny to me.

These are corporate money making guitars
Copied from genuine guitars made from poor
Folks in Africa..
Bet they get no royalties..

[wickedcrypto]

SHOULD I BE PLAYING THIS IN A THUNDERSTORM?

[TrevBec]

Seeing Sam with this is weirding me out.

[nyacoustics]

I gotta one off these and the factory set up and fret work sucks big time! Buzzes like a hornets nest !

[needretire]

Be careful with company. You won't get you guitar and they don't respond to email. Either the company is dead or they're out to rip people off now. I'm going thru dispute with Paypal now.

[LuisFonseca]

Is it me, or is this guitar really out of tune?
