First Look: Aslin Dane’s Bohemian

Aslin Dane BohemianHere’s a quick look at Aslin Dane’s incredibly versatile new release, the Bohemian, which I was lucky enough to get in for review just a few days ago. As you may have noticed, it bares a very strong resemblance to Brian May’s legendary Red Special––but that’s a rather long story, so we’ll save it for the actual review.

With a cherry finished mahogany body this guitar is a looker, and though I’ll have a full review next week (including mp3 samples,) suffice it to say that the Bohemian is one fun guitar to play, owing mostly to a seriously fat fretboard (easy on the fingers!,) and an absolutely insane rack of pickup sliders (3 on/off, 3 coil-taps) which produce a whopping 22 different pickup/tone combinations.

Other nice features include a Fulcrum 2-point tremolo unit, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and Hagstrom tuning machines.

The first Bohemians are expected to be available for purchase beginning in December, with an out-the-door price of between $349.00 – $399.00.

  • Mahogany Body

    Blimey! You wrote that whole entry without using the words “Queen”, “Brian May” or “Red Special”.

    Wow, this may be the guitar that my partner, Sarah, has been looking for. Small, presumably light weight, 24.75″, vibrato. Make sure to mention the neck carve, playability and how well the vibrato works. This could be the steal of the year even if it needs tweaks.
