Bo-El is a Dutch luthier brand founded in 1991 by Huub Boel, who began building custom guitars in a small workshop in The Hague before relocating the operation to the eastern Netherlands. The company specializes in hand-built electric guitars and basses with an emphasis on ergonomic construction — thin necks with no heel thickening for unobstructed upper-fret access, strap button placement aimed at improved balance, and proprietary pickups designed in-house for each model.

The lineup includes the S03 series, the GG series, the SIN model, and the MC-6 and MC-7, the latter a seven-string developed in collaboration with Dutch shred guitarist Marcel Coenen. A more affordable line is offered under the Nicky B name. Bo-El instruments have developed a following among shred-oriented and seven-string players within the Dutch rock and metal scene, where the brand is frequently cited as one of the few notable domestic guitar makers.

Bo-El has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars and Electric Basses. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock and Metal. Notable users include Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan.
