TheBONE® Swiss Made

Ever heard the saying "less is more"? 

Now take a look at this range of instruments and you will begin to truly understand the meaning. Not only that but you will see a practical demonstration of the ledgendary ingenuity and engineering excellence of the Swiss.

The very highest degree of portability and ease of handling, combined with comfort and playability and the very best tonal quality were the key requirements that drove the design of this unique guitar range.

To achieve this, the Swiss designer selected the very finest woods and custom electronic components combining them with specially developed hardware. The marriage of these elements results in a guitar with very modern and contemporary looks, perfectly balanced and with a character all of its own.

In addition, numerous small design details demonstrate the thought and engineering that has gone in to this product range. For example we see a detachable frame made of stainless steel tubular segments (the patented “Body Clip” system) that incorporates an internal elastic cord that makes assembly simple and easy and also makes sure that you will never leave one piece behind! 

The "bodyclip" is securely fixed to the guitar with just two thumb screws and the compact patented tuning system allows you to use your favorite single ball end strings - no problem. 

No other guitar offers greater playability, desirability or portability in such a clever package, or a guitar so at home on the stage, in the studio, at work or anywhere in between! 

Each guitar is largely hand crafted and is a unique creation, to be admired by its discerning owner. With their stylish and totally modern look, superior feel and performance these guitars challenge the orthodox and they copy no other guitar - each is a true original. 

Very possibly the best travel guitars (and bass) anywhere and certainly amongst the best electric guitars (or bass) anywhere too. Dare to be different? 

Take a look at this animation to see just how incredibly compact TheBONE is when packed!!

TheBONE®  TheSTAGE B200
TheBONE® TheSTAGE B200

The exceptionally lightweight and compact B200 Stage was specially developed with the needs of the performing guitarist uppermost, particularly those who like to work with an external effects processor and who also demand the very best quality, comfort and tone from their instrument.

Manufactured  from a single piece of hard maple with a radiused rosewood fingerboard, the headless design places the tuning machines at the “opposite end” of the guitar where specially designed precision thumbscrews permit easy and accurate tuning. A fully adjustable custom bridge with individual saddles provide for setting individual string intonation and height.

The single powerful TC2 custom humbucker system keeps things simple whilst still providing single or twin coil switching to offer an amazing range of tones - from warm and fat - to crystal clear.

The B200 is already super light weight. Now unscrew two thumbscews, remove and fold the steel tube body frame, and you have perhaps the most compact yet serious guitar available anywhere. Pop it into its custom gig bag or even in your suitcase and you will smile - everytime!

Call this instrument a travel guitar if you will, but the B200 is a guitar to be proud of and one you can and will want to keep with you. At home, in the studio or on the go, no matter how you get there. 

Sheer pleasure.

Sorry, we have just sold the last of our B200 models. Our next B200 order is scheduled to be built and will be arriving in mid-late September.

TheWESTERN® Acoustic Style
TheWESTERN® Acoustic Style

TheBONE TheWESTERN will appeal to all those acoustic steel strung style players who want an authentic and top quality guitar that is so so easy to travel with, practice with and even perform with.

TheWESTERN is sure to amaze you with its clever Swiss engineering, unique design and great quality. 

Of course, it is like no other "acoustic" guitar you have ever seen or played and it eliminates all your travel hassles and feedback nightmares at a stroke.

The guitar features the patented Triff headless tuning system and removable and foldable steel tube body frame which means this full scale guitar will pack down to less than 27 inches in length, less than 3 pounds in weight and barely 3 inches wide!

A piezo pickup and custom EQ with integrated headphone pre-amp from the renowned German Shadow company means you can listen to yourself at any time day or night and you will have no more feedback problems should you take it on stage either!  

Constructed from hard rock maple TheWESTERN is a two piece, bolt on neck/body and headless design that features a fixed compensated bridge and uses standard single ball end strings.

Swiss engineering and design at its best. Beat that.

Sorry, we have just sold out of this model (congratulations Brent).

TheCLASSICAL®
TheCLASSICAL®

Classical but revolutionary!

Yes, TheBONE goes classical to bring you a guitar that offers all the well proven design objectives, concepts and advantages of the TheBONE philosophy but focussed this time on the classical guitar player - and it is a real beauty to boot.

With a familiar wide nut and flat rosewood fingerboard the guitar also features the Swiss maker's patented detachable and foldable steel tube "bodyclip" frame but this time it is adapted and modified to provide even greater comfort whilst suiting the classical guitarist's more upright playing position.

The clever headless design is perfectly balanced and features a hard rock maple body with a bolt on neck construction which offers a seemingly impossibly small overall length and weight when you are travelling.

With the convenience of an integrated headphone amplifier you can practice where and when you want.

We have little doubt that TheBONE TheCLASSICAL packs down to be the most compact and lightest full scale Classical style guitar available anywhere. With its frame re-attached it is also a pleasure to play and to own.

So, put it in with your luggage or carry it on your shoulder, this is a Classical guitar that can go with you anywhere and be ready to play at any time!

Comes complete with a compact, well made custom carry bag.

TheCRUISER® type S1
TheCRUISER® type S1

Whilst theCRUISER shares the same design principles and even some of the hardware seen on the existing B200 & B300 "Stage" models, theCruiser has in mind the need to satisfy the electric guitarist who seeks a more simple and perhaps more affordable instrument but one which still retains all the intelligent Swiss design features that make TheBONE guitars so easy to travel with.

This is a role in which theCruiser excels.

With its very modern headless design, removable and folding steel tubular frame and patented tuning system, this full scale guitar packs down to less than 27 inches in length and comes complete with an amazingly compact gig-bag.

TheCruiser has a bolt on neck/body construction and is made from hard rock maple with a Rosewood fretboard, 22 playable frets, a full 24.75 inch scale and a custom humbucker. For simplicity the Cruiser has a fixed bridge and saddle.

TheCruiser S1 builds on the strengths of the S model and adds an integrated headphone pre-amp which allows you to practice, in silence, anywhere and any time. 

Two knobs for volume and tone controls keep everything easy. 

Simply plug in your headphones and away you go in a world of your own. Alternatively, plug in to your amp or P.A. and perform.

What could be easier?

Sorry, we are now sold out of this model until new factory stock arrives mid September.
