Bo-El MC-7

mattex · 04-14-2006, 03:46 PM

Hi guys,

like everyone in this forum I am very interested in a Bo-El too, so I sent an e-mail to the builder. I expected an request in some weeks, it lasts only a few hours. I couldn´t imagine the Body-Neck construction, so I asked him and he sent me this beautiful picture, maybe it´s interesting for someone.

Yeah, let's see some full-frontals

Firebeard · 04-14-2006, 04:11 PM

Dare I?

....of the front!

Yep sure do!

D-EJ915 · 04-14-2006, 05:46 PM

Needs...darker...finish...

BinaryTox1n · 04-14-2006, 06:55 PM

I imagine it looks a bit like this:

D-EJ915 · 04-14-2006, 07:05 PM

Headstock is kinda weird but I like that quite a bit!

Mastodon · 04-14-2006, 07:48 PM

I like it when the bare wood is shown instead of a thick plastic.

Digital Black · 04-14-2006, 08:15 PM

I think it would look a lot nicer with direct mount pickups..

Michael · 04-14-2006, 08:29 PM

I for one, love it!!

...and tune-o-matic bridge, strings through body, a better headstock, and a body that doesn't look just slightly off to the point that you feel uncomfortable looking at it, like there's something wrong but you're not sure what.

...oh, and the controls positioned better so they're not in the worst possible location anymore

mattex · 04-15-2006, 02:09 AM

Sorry guys, didn´t know you can´t use google and search for the Bo-El Website with Front pics

I think it´s great, the tree of life is awesome and it costs just 1300€.

David · 04-15-2006, 04:50 AM

I've never liked 5+2 headstocks - however, the rest of the guitar looks very good.

Papa Shank · 04-15-2006, 08:29 AM

Here's a few pics for those of you that don't want to search for it

There's a vid on the Bo-El site of Marcel Coenen demoing the MC-7. Don't watch it unless you want to feel totally inadequate.

Amazing shredder.

I'd be all over the MC-7 model at that price if it didn't have a trem.

By the way, I have to disagree about the direct-mount pickups. They are a total ....ing pain in the ass if you like to adjust your pickups to precise heights, as I do. Plus, it makes swapping pickups more difficult.

mjgg6 · 01-25-2008, 12:03 PM

Hey guys that guitars looks so nice and I have read good things about them but I have a doubt:

Look here: Bo-el S-03: Harmony Central User Reviews

are all the models done in Korea??

Just 75€ are the difference between tree of life and dots...thats sounds strange to me.

A friend of mine have a very good deal to get one and I have not to much info on them. What do you think???

Thanks.

kmanick · 01-25-2008, 12:16 PM

I'm a fan of these (looks wise anyway) .
There was a guy that stopped by here a while back that was selling a red one on Ebay and he had to come down quite a bit on his price to move it.
I think because you never see these in the states and no one has ever really played one, they get passed by.
If I could get my hands on one to try it, I would probably own one.

When I emailed Huub and asked him a few questions about these 7's he got back to me immediately and was very helpful and cordial.
I'm also a huge fan of Marcel's and he sure plays the crap out of his,
so I'm thinking it's probably a pretty nice guitar.
Joop Wolters plays the 6's but he also plays 7 string stuff so he may have one of these as well.

Can you play it before you buy?

No I cannot do it right now. I´m with you I think that they are totally unknow outside Holland, not only in USA. And nothing to say about Coenen I have the Sun Caged first CD and he´s playing is awesome.

I´ll keep you posted because is probably that I´ll have the chance to try one...

Thanks.

Apophis · 01-25-2008, 12:39 PM

On This record he played Ibanez, not Bo-El

bostjan · 01-25-2008, 03:56 PM

Do a forum search. There was a guy here a year or so ago who had one of these. The guy had an owl avatar or something. All I remember was that the guy who bought one really loved it.
