Mikagi

Hi folks! Miran of Mikagi Guitars from Croatia here, joining the contest with my flagship model named Bodra. The one in the photos is a semi hollow that I built a few months ago. I've standardised the model so this is pretty much how I make them these days. I change everything up a bit every few months or so, just to keep things interesting and creative and I'm always looking for new ways to improve the design with attention to the smallest of details. Okay, so as I said, this particular one is semi hollow, however I do make them in hollow body version as well. The idea behind the instrument is to blend traditional sound, feel and design with some more modern construction features. The guitars feature carved maple top and bottom plates. Sides and neck are made of mahogany. For the fretboard I usually use ebony, macassar or rosewood (12 inch radius). I prefer to use open gear tuning machines, like the Schaller GrandTune or Grover Sta-Tite. The electronics are the best part -Wizz premium PAF humbuckers, one of the greatest PAF clones out there. Sounds like a charm! It's finished in sunburst, nitrocellulose. Feel free to check out the Mikagi facebook page for waaay more photos of the build Good luck to everyone!
