The Boden Esssential Demo ▼ BJF-S100 by One Control

[@markosliodakis9436]

Mr Tomo i am one of your student and huge fan. I am working hard at guitar wisdom and i hope one day to become a good guitarist. I just end the triad section and i will review them again from the start so i can be sure that i know them and can found them even quicker but unfortunately i cant use them so well to improvise with them! If you can give me your wisdom for that it would be really awesome. Greetings from Greece 🙂🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! Guitar Wisdom is my true passion! Good job! Before improvisation....do a lot of triads!

[@markosliodakis9436]

@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks so much for answering you are the best! 🙏 🙂

[@Nickshreds890]

Hi there Marko 😊. May I ask , what genre of music do you like to play? I Love metal , prog metal and classical . As well as enjoying some jazz and jazz fusion. Do you think Tomo's lessons could benefit me ? I know it's a big question . I would like to give his guitar course a try! :) Also , I wish you all the best of luck with your guitar journey . I hope that it brings you so much joy 😊. I've played for 20 to 21 years and playing guitar is like medicine to me . I love music so much. The more time and effort you put in, the more rewards you'll find. Have an awesome day and if you can answer my question I would be very thankful 🙏!!

[@markosliodakis9436]

@@Nickshreds890 Hi Nick!🙂 Tomo courses are specialised on blues jazz fank and r&b. But the most lessons are about fundamentals like scales with more emphasis on ear training and kind of degree recognition than shapes! Triads chords and technique, maybe you will not learn so much about metal but you will improve your touch dynamics and understanding of music and alot of cool stuff like rhythm fills and following the chords on your improvisation i am not entirely there yet but the sounds of Mr fujita on the courses are really great! And I would definitely recommend them wish you the best my friend 🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I love good music! Good groove that makes you dance! Blues, jazz & funk. Guitar Wisdom is the best guitar education! Please try it! You need a solid foundation: Proper techniques, triads and all! @@Nickshreds890

Thank you for all that you do. You do not have to post all of this to help people, but you do. You're a great person, thank you.

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

[@haus05]

you absolutely have to love this man, such a legend and so humble

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@balmain2496]

Finally a Strandberg I can afford! This looks incredible as does your playing, cheers! 🥂

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you like it! So good! Thank you!

[@DamnedIcon]

Those pickups are so harmonically rich! And the instrument sounds super loud unplugged. I'm VERY impressed.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So good! Thank you for sharing!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I was very impressed from the very beginning.

[@banshan6746]

Does it depend on the pickups to get that crazy sustained harmonic sound or do u need to specifically set ur amp settings to get it

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This amp does with any guitars. One Control BJF-S100 's lead channel @@banshan6746

[@mr.monitor.]

Sustain for days. Perfect intonation. Dreamy jazz tones.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! Thank you so much!

[@HAMBUUK]

Sounds awesome Mr.Tomo. Looks very comfortable to play! 😊😊

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! So easy to play this guitar!

[@jejuislandtrekker8113]

Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound. Beautiful guitar sound.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@Alex_Guitar95]

I love this guitar, it's amazing. Really comfortable, Strandbergs are a true evolution of guitar shape. I really want one of this!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Very easy to play it! Yes! So amazing!

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

That guitar rings like crazy! I'm not typically attracted to these "modern" design guitars, especially ones like this (headless). But it just sounds soooooo good straight in clean. A conundrum!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This guitar is really good!

[@FronzSchornack]

Thanks Tomo for sharing! The guitar your playing sounds amazing very rich harmonic roll overs and cleans up really nice also! Thanks again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! I love this guitar's tone!

[@annunacky4463]

That room is getting full! Looks like a music store display. Thanks for teaching us mortals. lol.

I know... very embarrassing! You're very welcome!

[@danielsteduto9201]

haha not embarassing at all! I wish I had as many, maybe one day :)@@TomoFujitaMusic

Swing string makes a wall rack 4 ft long. I have 7 guitars hanging on it. Good space saver!

[@masoncusack]

Mind blowing playing in this video. Guitar sounds great too! Will keep an eye out for this one.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@DanaDeerwester]

Good Vibes all day long Tomo!❤

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@Nickshreds890]

It's really exciting to see a boden essential! My favourite guitar is my Strandberg Nx 7 Boden standard . It's so light and has allowed me to play guitar a lot more . I've got a back condition so the Strandberg has helped me enormously. I'm a fan of Ibanez Quest too. Now that you can get one for less than 1,000 dollars they will become even more popular ! Previously they were elitist but this price range will allow a lot more musicians to try it ! :) Tomo your playing here is fantastic!! The sound of the pickups is very high quality! I'm glad it isn't q cheap version of a Strandberg! :) It sounds so nice to hear jazz playing on this guitar

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that! This guitar can sing! Thank you so much!

[@Nickshreds890]

@TomoFujitaMusic You're welcome ! 😊 thank you so much Tomo for your positive outlook , wonderful lessons and for helping me learn more about guitar!! Your video about Ichika Nito is amazing. And I've learnt quite a bit about jazz from you. Thanks again 😀

[@weedian710]

Love it. Great demo and performance, as always. Really would like to see it with a tremolo. The RESQ:D is probably what I’m going to get.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@marswillrule2431]

Amazing! grace

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! Thank you!

[@doublepanthers3088]

Wow. A Boden with a traditional fretboard. I like it. Just went to their site and the price comes in under a grand. It'll be interesting to see how well these sell.

[@grrttshw]

I can guarantee you these will be incredibly hard to buy. Going to sell like hotcakes.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Nickshreds890]

​​@grrttshw That's for sure. Every time a new model of Strandberg comes out, they sell out sometimes within 24 hours I contacted a local guitar shop, and they said the guitars are coming in March and will sell out very quickly.

[@Onkelbirnbaum]

this guitar just looks and sounds great. i'm going to add it to my list! 😁

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Thank you!

[@davidp7833]

I'm watching you and Matteo playing at NAMM now on my big screen. How fun!!! You guys are JAMMING. Its so good!😁😁🎶

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! Thank you! It was so much fun!

[@bestboy897]

insane tone

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! Solid State Amp Head!

[@bestboy897]

wow would never have guessed that i think the guitar's natural tone is making the amp sound even better@@TomoFujitaMusic

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

For checking any electric guitar.. I play it without an amp first so I know... @@bestboy897

[@Kingdombusiness33]

I recognize that guitar…. My buddy Zach that studied out there where you taught and he had one…. Awesome man!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! Great!

[@Ryan_F.]

Nice tone and playing as usual, Tomo! I’m tempted to buy that guitar now

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Be careful!

[@kiezersosay49]

Man it's so cool strandberg did this. Only 1000 and they still kept the SS frets, endura-neck, roasted maple neck. For the longest time I wanted to try one, but im pretty sure now that I wouldn't like it. Lol i had Holcomb PRS for about a month and i just couldn't get used to the 20" radius. My rg5320 has a 17" radius and i think that's the flattest i can get along with. Lol i also picked up a headless leo jaymz 2nd hand but new for a 100. I think i can comfortably say im positive those few amazon brands making headless guitars had something to do with this new affordable boden.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@davemenard5089]

The Standbergs will sell many of this model. "Amazing" Ola’s smart to make entry affordable now. Get um hooked! Love the necks and ergonomics ❤

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Ola is a genius! It was so honored to talk with him at NAMM show!

Nice... SRVs cool ... the Eddie Harris cover! Recognized that one was perfect for guitar

Like an ice cream melody... that sound will always be delicious....

Sounds exaggerated, but I couldn’t wait for this after I absolutely loved your unboxing video. It was chill, informative, and fun (everything I want from KZbin)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

[@fabianrr]

Tomo high gain 😮

[@strumminronin]

Yep, didn't see it coming either. Next time may be a high gain version of Auld Lang Syne 😅

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Ha ha!

[@ruru-od9dv]

Great tone

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]

Thank you Mr.Fujita. Clear sounds so rich,I’m surprised.🤣

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much!

[@langezeit6926]

Playing with this kind of volume+distortion like in the beginning of the video is super intimidating. And it really shows whats inside these pickups...you can hear everything

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Very clear and the tone is so good!

[@maxkhrisanfov]

Nice effects...

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@dananthony6258]

I hate headless guitar and never want to be seen playing one but this guitar is different to me. It’s got something that call to me. I wish they made a fold out headstock, lol.

[@strumminronin]

How about an appropriately sized foam finger as a stand in headstock? Don't reach for it when you tune up though 😉

[@joshtorresfdu6621]

Here’s you’re business calling, create something for headless guitars. Since you hate them lol

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I was so impressed by this guitar!

[@_CzM]

I need them to release a 7 string version of this

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! True!

[@cobyup10]

How's the tuning stability? Any drops in pitch when bending strings? Thanks! Killer playing as usual!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So good! Thank you so much!

[@cobyup10]

Thanks! My Boden Essential in Elemental Blue will be here next week! ​@@TomoFujitaMusic

[@markusw9286]

Tomo would you suggest for someone who is a beginner to buy one of these guitars or do you think a more traditional shape is 'better'?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This one is way special than a regular style guitar. Especially tuning & changing strings. How about Ibanez AZES for a beginner. $299.99USD

[@jamesforrest9837]

awesome distortion sound!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Amp distortion from the BJF-S100 Thank you!

[@Miloykus]

I think you can make every guitar sound great. Thank you for a great demo. As you have tried other strandberg guitars, do you personaly prefer this model or a multi-scale one?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

This guitar is so amazing! You're very welcome! I really like this because it's very simple. I played a few different models that my student's.

[@TheBluebirdsBigBand]

That guitar sounds very good. Surprisingly fat for its dimensions. I thought it would have a brighter tone especially with stainless steel frets. Impressive. Thank you

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! Great sounding guitar! Thank you so much!

[@nicoloclausen]

Hi tomo I am a member of guitar wisdom and I love it! While I’m learning triads, theory and ear training, do you think I should start practicing improvising or get more comfortable with triads and better ear before practicing improvising? :)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom! Yes! why not! Just use two inversions & some chromaticism, rhythm over each chords! Definitely you need spend a lot of quality hours with triads with no finger noises!

[@Kept_Crude]

Sounds very good. But can't be any other way in your hands Tomo. A great instrument nonetheless. Seems an intelligent design very carefully thought of. Will be interesting to see how these age and cope in different environments, climates. Great demo! Thanks Tomo

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Yes! I was very impressed!

[@mynickisnick4302]

@@strumminronin Not recently. Why?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes! Super versatile!

[@modernguitardiary]

Hi, is it as comfortable as a regular Strandberg? Because the classic Strandberg has a multiscale, so the 10 46 is incredibly soft on the G B and E strings, this essential on the other hand has a normal 25.5 scale neck like a Stratocaster, aren't the 10 46 factory fitted?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@MattAngiono]

Anyone know what that song/ progression that is at about 18 minutes? Sounds beautiful Tomo! But i just bought a new guitar so can't really drop another grand on that right now

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@bolillo5013]

I really want a Strandberg as of late, but I already have a few great guitars, and have to hold myself back lol

[@strumminronin]

I feel the same. But the "surprise" factor draws me to their ResQ line more. When I do eventually get one I am going to call it "Chicken". (Get it? "Headless chicken".)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Take your time! Thank you for sharing!

[@doctoribanez]

They seem way over priced for what they are. No fancy woods or anything and made in the same factory that if it had a different name it would be not even half the price. Just my opinion of course. I like the size and ease of travel

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I love the sound!

[@rainyday2315]

Hi Tomo, really enjoy your videos. Question, I have been trying to buy the lowest price model Toki Aldious signature ESP V but am having no luck. Do you know any companies or persons who could do this for me? I am in the USA. Thank you so much. お疲れ様です〜。

Thank you so much! I am getting good friend with ESP now.
