Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele - Motor Oil Finish

Whether you're just starting to play the ukulele or you're a seasoned veteran, Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele - Motor Oil is a versatile model that's perfect for you. It's compact and lightweight, and features a Lignum rosa fretboard and Chrome hardware. You can also opt for a hardtail topload bridge or a closed screw-in tuner.

Lightweight(Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele - Motor Oil)

Whether you are looking to replace your old ukulele or just want a new one, you should consider the Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele. This unique guitar is designed with a variety of features, including a motor oil finish, and a striking graphic design basis. It is one of the more unique designs on the market, based on the improvised tin can instruments found in South Africa.

The Bohemian ukulele boasts a stylish design, with a metal body, rubber knobs and a removable back plate. It also features a built-in stand and a tone control knob. Compared to the traditional ukulele, it is considerably lighter and has a compact body shape. It features an acoustic-like tone and a distinct metallic twang.

Compact

Probably the most obvious choice would be a solid-bodied ukulele. Alternatively, you can opt for a canister-bound model, which is certainly more compact and easy on your pocketbook. Unlike the traditional models, the oil can ukes are designed to be portable, ensuring you'll be able to take them on the road with you. The oil can ukes are actually pretty lightweight. And, as the name suggests, they are made from recycled oil cans.

A lot of effort went into the design of these models, resulting in a small but mighty sized instrument. With a body weight of just over two pounds, the oil can ukes aren't the kind of slouch you'd expect from an instrument with a price tag of nearly one hundred dollars.

Chrome hardware(Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele - Motor Oil)

Besides the traditional wood based instruments, Bohemian Guitars is also known for their oil can bodied instruments. Founded by Adam and Shaun Lee, the company has been funded by KickStarter donations and has already landed in the hands of some of the greatest musicians of today.

The oil can body of these instruments vibrates differently than the wooden body, creating a distinct tone. These instruments also feature single coil pickups, which deliver hefty low-end response. These pickups are available in single or double P.90s, and can be used to transfer the unique tone of an acoustic guitar to an amplifier.

The body of the oil can guitar is constructed from recycled materials. It also features a removable back panel, which makes it easy to access the interior of the instrument. The guitar also features a tuned-o-matic bridge, which allows for easy intonation setup and stable tuning.

Lignum rosa fretboard

Designed by Adam and Shaun Lee, Bohemian Guitars is a guitar company based in Atlanta. Its instruments are made from unconventional materials. They include basses, ukuleles and electric guitars. The company is also committed to environmental sustainability.

The company's flagship model, the Bohemian Oil Can electric limeade bass guitar, is a metal hollow body in the shape of a vintage oil can. It features dual single-coil pickups and nickel wound strings. It also has a removable bottom panel and self-standing rubber feet.

Bohemian's guitars feature chrome hardware. They also have a tune-o-matic bridge. They are available in a four-string model or a six-string model. The body of the guitar is crafted from high-quality steel. It is also lightweight.

Closed screw-in tuners(Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele - Motor Oil)

Using closed screw-in tuners on your Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele is a bit of a risk. You may find that the open string is untuned unless you use the right tuning pegs. This is especially true with a string that has a thicker diameter. Using the wrong tuning pegs can lead to the strings slipping out of the tuner.

One of the benefits of using closed screw-in tuners on your Bohemian ukulele is that you aren't restricted to playing with a single string. The opulent ply top ply on your guitar provides a sturdy mounting for your tuning device.

If you're a fan of the ukulele, you're probably looking for the best way to achieve a smooth and effortless playable action. One of the best ways to achieve this is by using a through-body neck design. This design ensures a stable playing experience by eliminating any wiggles and sways that can be detrimental to your playability.

Hardtail topload bridge

Among the many nifty features on the Bohemian Oil Can Ukulele, the Hardtail topload bridge is perhaps the most impressive. With four saddles, this bridge allows for stable tuning and accurate intonation. It also helps provide a remarkably smooth playing experience.

Bohemian Guitars is a relatively new name in the musical instrument industry, but their instruments aren't. Their canister ukuleles are a homage to the tin can instrument found in South Africa. They boast a hint of metallic twang and are rich with overtones. The company is also committed to environmental sustainability. The bodies and handles of the instruments are constructed from recycled materials.
