The Bohemian Oil Can Electric Guitar in Motor Oil finish is one of many truly unique designs based on improvised tin-can instruments from the streets of South Africa. It is constructed from a hollow metal body which interacts with custom pickups to produce a truly original sound. The metal responds in a completely unique way when compared with traditional wooden guitars and allows for brand new tones to be achieved.
The responsive metallic body allows the player to use percussive techniques which simply wouldn't work on traditional electric guitars. The range of Bohemian Guitars feature different pickup combinations and visual designs to bring unique and different tones within the range. If you're looking for something truly different, you've found the right instrument here!
The Motor Oil model from Bohemian Guitars features dual humbucking pickups and is designed to be the rocker in the range. It is capable of some seriously overdriven tones but also performs brilliantly just at the edge of breakup or even perfectly clean. It is finished with a stylish red Motor Oil graphic design and will really stand out from the crowd.
The hollow metal body is braced with wood for stability and offers great resonance and unmatched responsiveness. The neck extends through the body to ensure stable tuning and performance. Each instrument features small rubber knobs to act as a built-in stand, and they have removable lids which are perfect for storing picks and small accessories. This is a lightweight guitar with an effortlessly stylish look.
Bohemian Guitars was founded by brothers Adam and Shaun Lee to replicate the improvised guitars that they had seen on the streets of their hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa. After bringing the idea to the USA and making instruments for friends and family, they took the plunge and formed a company with financial backing from KickStarter donations.
Bohemian Guitars produce instruments which have a truly distinctive look and sound. They have a vibrant community of players & endorsers, and an active participation in charity work. Bohemian Guitars are also committed to environmental sustainability by using partially recycled materials, less wood than typical guitars, and the use of sustainable forests or reclaimed timbers.
