Black Haze: Reviving the Electric Guitar with Advanced Technology

A Modern Take on a Classic Instrument

Andres Luer Solorza Redefines the Electric Guitar

Andres Luer Solorza, a renowned designer in the field of art, architecture, design, innovation, and technology, has created a groundbreaking electric guitar called Black Haze. Inspired by the desire to revive the concept of the electric guitar with the advanced technology of today, Solorza has managed to maintain the feel of the guitar while incorporating unique features that set it apart from others in the market.

What makes Black Haze truly special is its innovative approach to the connection between the guitar body and the neck. Unlike traditional guitars that use either a bolt-on, set-neck, or neck-thru-body construction, Black Haze combines the best of all three methods. This results in enhanced stability, improved sustain, and a seamless playing experience.

But that's not all - Black Haze also incorporates internal digital technology that allows for precise control of volume and tone. The backlit LED devices provide a visually stunning experience, while the possibility of customization allows musicians to personalize their instrument with interchangeable body panels.

Black Haze is designed to cater to both right-handed and left-handed players, ensuring that every musician can enjoy its exceptional qualities. The guitar body can be crafted using various materials, including plastic injection, bi-applies injection, wood, or Corian. Wood embodies the classic concept of guitars, while Corian offers rigidity and light effects that have never been seen before in guitar components.

With its sleek design and impeccable craftsmanship, Black Haze measures 814 mm in length, 300 mm in width, and 50 mm in height. These specifications ensure optimal playability and comfort for musicians of all levels.

Black Haze has received numerous accolades for its exceptional design. In 2011, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Black Haze's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to a better world of music.

Black Haze is more than just an electric guitar - it is a testament to the power of innovation and the endless possibilities of design. With its unique construction, advanced technology, and customizable features, Black Haze is set to revolutionize the world of electric guitars and inspire musicians for years to come.
