Minarik Guitars is well known among guitar fans because it has a flashy look that is very typical of American culture, and many artists use it in the United States, but it may still be less well-known in Japan. .
Although this one has a somewhat simple body shape, it has a cool sunburst color, body carving, and fingerboard.
This is a model called Goddess with beautiful inlay work. This is one of the Studio X-Treme Series grade equivalent to the current regular line.
【body】
Overall weight is approximately 3.8kg. The body material is maple top/mahogany back. The quilted heathered maple top has luxurious binding, impressive carvings, and gold hardware, giving it a very beautiful look, as the name ``goddess'' suggests. Although there are some signs of use such as dents and scratches, and dullness of the metal parts, it is in relatively good condition. Control knobs have been replaced.
【neck】
The neck material is mahogany and the fingerboard material is rosewood. The wonderful inlay work on the fingerboard and head top is captivating. The neck section is in good condition with no noticeable scratches. The gold imperial tuners are dull, but they work well without much variation in the winding. There is not much wear on the frets/nut, and playability is good. Nut width 44.0mm. It can be said to have a relatively sturdy neck shape.
[Electrical system]
The controls are orthodox [3-way pickup selector/2 volumes/2 tones]. Both the front and rear pickups are made by TESLA, and the letters ``Special Edition'' on the pickup cover are prominent. It's good at producing a rock sound, just as it looks, and the rear pickup has higher gain than the front, so it's good for those who like crunchy sounds.
