BOLIN NS
John Bolin and Ned Steinberger.
2003
A most
incredible and innovative modern guitar.
“Simply
Amazing”
NOTE: Buy one of these incredible guitars now
before they become too expensive. These are headed to legendary status with
increasingly higher prices.
Take JOHN
BOLIN, the design genius who is always “predictability unpredictable”, and Ned
Steinberger, the sound tech “extraordinaire” and put them in a shop with
instructions to “create a really cool guitar that is beautiful, innovative, sounds
amazing, and plays so smoothly that players will never want to put it down” and
you will get what they have already created back in 2003: The BOLIN NS guitar.
A review of
the BOLIN NS, in the February 2003 issue of Guitar Buyer, by the guitar playing
genus MICK TAYLOR, called it a “stunning new collaboration between Ned
Steinberger and John Bolin” showing “proof positive that all is well in the
world of guitar innovation”. That review
is attached here. It’s a bit hard to
read but I will include a copy of it with the guitar.
These are a few of Mick’s observations:
1. “It’s a sleek and slender all-rounder
whose simplicity belies a whole bunch of tonal surprises”.
2. “There’s little doubt that the BOLIN
NS is distinctive.”
3. “The NS is supremely comfortable to
hold, either standing or sitting.”
4. “The peghead is a corker.” (“corker” meaning
“very good”)
5. “The neck is rock maple, profiled to
a skinny-ish C section, remarkably comfortable and finished with a light satin
lacquer for super smooth movement.”
6. Neck is “bolted on with a new unique
design where the two lower screws attach to the flat underside neck pocket,
while the upper two go in at any angle, creating a more rigid connection,”
which “helps the guitar’s overall brilliance and sustain”.
7. “Ebony fretboard with 22 medium frets”
that are “fitted and finished flawlessly, which pretty much sums up the build of
the entire guitar”.
8. “Sensibly understated in the looks
department”.
9. “Schaller 3-D6 fixed bridge”.
10.“Sperzel locking tuners…add a modern
visual edge to the Bolin”. (banjo style side fitting).
11.“..brace of Seymour Duncan
humbuckers, Jeff Beck at the bridge and ’59 at the neck”
12.“a Master volume and dual-concentric bass
and treble pot that goes into a beefy active preamp. “
13.“…has the spank of a Fender, yet with
much more Gibson-style meat”.
14.“The alder/maple/bolt-on neck
combination assures a bright and resonant acoustic tone with plenty of highs,
and full, clear bass.”
15.“..there’s no arguing that the Bolin
NS is a superb guitar.”
16.“It boasts innovation in design,
commendable build quality and addictive playability”.
