Harmos Guitars,
Inc. only makes a
few MatraX
guitars each month, so we
build them to your specific design. Sample guitars and
prices are shown on the models pages. Customizations can be
made within the range of sample prices.
Our #1 goal
is to give you the most
superb sounding and playable guitar available. Individually
built guitars require direct and close contact between the
buyer and the builder. The technology of these guitars is
so unique that many questions won't be answered on the
website. We want you know both your builder and how your
guitar is built. Please Contact Us directly or call us at 612
382-5393
We look forward to connecting with you.
We want you to get the guitar you want.
Built
for Value!
Guitar
Body
MatraX guitar bodies are hand assembled
using carbon fiber rods and dimensionally precise wood
spheres. We use a 5 axis robotic wood cutting center to get
the accuracy needed for a successful space frame body.
Traditional guitar bodies are made using standard wood
routers and can be made for as little as $25*. (Even with
top notch woods, they only cost $40.)
The precision built MatraX body costs over $300* to machine
and assemble.
(*Prices examples don't include finishing.)
Neck Joint
Another critical cost area of the MatraX guitar is the
neck joint.
Vintage bolt-on neck joints and conventional neck-through
designs were originally created 50 years ago and now cost
pennys to make and set up. The bolt on design though still
has a 2+ inch thick block of wood under the higher frets
and the neck through design still lacks adjustablility.
The
MatraX neck joint is crafted using
directionally grained wood, and three dimensionally
designed carbon fiber tone rods that: 1) strengthen the
joint 2) transfer tone vibrations completely across the
neck joint and throughout the body 3) allow for screw
adjustment of the neck angle.
Affordable
Price
Here are a couple of reasons supporting the relatively
low price of these guitars.
REASON
#1.
We choose to keep this guitar as inexpensive as possible.
Even though many of the parts and assemblies are costly to
make, it is our fervent desire is to keep the basic price
of this guitar as low priced and accessible to individual
players. If you want to pay more, we can add as many
features or inlays as you wish!
REASON
#2.
So far, we only sells MatraX guitars on line. Since 2002,
we sold our Lap Steels guitars all around the world
offering an absolute "no questions asked" money back
guarantee. Since 2002, we've only had 1 guitar returned. We
continue to offer a 2 week no questions asked return
guarantee!!
REASON
#3.
These guitars aren't collectable - YET. MatraX guitars are
still so far below collectors notice, so the price for an
original low serial number instrument is still in range for
everyone.
