Dear Backers,

Finally!

Finally, after too many delays, some of which was our fault most we had no control over, I'm happy to let you know that the acoustic guitars For America & Canada are in our warehouse in preparation to be shipped to you.

They are going to be opened, checked for damage from the long journey, labeled, boxed again, safely wrapped and shipped.

This process should take 2 days, so you should all expect your guitars real soon.

This marks a completion of 2 very long years of bringing a prototype of 5 different models we've been working on for 5 years to full manufacturing, assembly and delivery.

Although we made endless preparations before going on crowdfunding, consulting, finding the perfect manufacturer, budget, support team and more, we kept on running in to unexpected barriers each of whom could have shut the door on our ability to deliver.

Our team worked day and night so that did not happen, taking personal professional and financial risks to make sure we stand true to our promise and deliver the products. I want to take this opportunity to thank them.

As you could imagine, the expenses went way off the charts and forced us to navigate the R&D in creative ways, it mainly effected the App development and content which went slower than we hoped for. The logic driving this was that we could always develop the App and add more content, therefore focus was on the bigger challenges – the OMB technology in the guitar/ kit and manufacturing. We are continuing to work on the App but there are options to use other Apps, software and hardware available that can connect and be controlled by the OMB guitar.

We've learned a lot from this experience (would be happy to share with you if you are considering a crowdfunding campaign). We are already implementing improvements needed for future manufacturing, so it goes smoother, faster and better.

Now is the time to thank each and every one of you dear backers, who made this happen. Thank you for believing in us, thank you for waiting patiently, thank you for challenging us and now sharing your experience with us so we can become better.

Very soon you'll be able to say – we were the first ones to have the OMB – The 6 String Revolution.

For you, American and Canadian backers, towards the end of this week or beginning of next, you should expect to get a tracking number.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year,

Important Updates and OMB Support

Dear Backers! 

Here are a few updates, now that acoustic guitars are finally arriving to you, all over the world.

Strings, strings, strings!

We highly recommend using the D’Addario nickel bronze strings for the OMB acoustic guitars. You can order those strings with our shipping manager: [email protected] - For the electric ones - our best choice was D’Addario’s XL, Nickel Wound strings with a super light gauge. Although - Most non coded strings should work great 👍

Android Users App Issue

We have encountered an issue on some android devices with the OMB. When you first connect the guitar to the app, it may show it’s connected, but the top left light on the app will appear white and not green as it should. This means the Bluetooth is not connected properly. Please exit the app and reload, tap top right menu, scroll down to Bluetooth, press connect and go back to main screen. It should solve the issue.

Manual, instructions and tutorial videos!

Please notice that all the instructions on how to plug in, calibrate and use all OMB items and guitars can be found on our tutorial videos page:   https://ombguitars.com/tutorials/

and on our user guide: 

https://ombguitars.com/docs/ombguitars.com/docs/Home.htm

It’s all there! 

Keep posting your fantastic videos un-boxing and playing your OMB’s! 

Thank you!
