This handcrafted guitar by Mike Marcovis is a true work of art, blending exquisite craftsmanship with premium materials and components. The body of the guitar boasts a stunning combination of Quilted Maple for the top and Black Limba for the back, finished in a charcoal hue with a sleek nitrocellulose lacquer overlay. Its double-cut design also exudes a sense of modern elegance and playability.
Moving to the neck, you'll find a Flame Maple neck with ebony veneer accents, meticulously set into place. The neck's modern "C" shape provides comfort and ease of play, and the charcoal dye finish continues the guitar's aesthetic harmony. The headstock features Quilted Maple, adding a nice touch of luxury to this instrument. The fingerboard is crafted from Ziricote and adorned with Paua Abalone floral inlays, further enhancing its visual appeal. With a bone nut measuring 1.735" and a 24.625" scale length, it offers precision and versatility for a wide range of playing styles. A generous 24 frets, a 12" radius, and an action set at a low 0.05" on the bass and an even lower 0.04" on the treble ensure this guitar's exceptional performance capabilities.
In the electronics department, this guitar is equipped with Lollar Imperial High Wind Humbuckers, delivering a rich and versatile tonal palette. The CTS 500K potentiometers and Centralab .022 capacitor ensure precise control over your sound. The controls include a Master Volume, Master Tone, and a 3-way selector switch, allowing for effortless tonal sculpting.
The hardware on this guitar is equally top-notch. It features a Graphtech Resomax wraparound bridge/tailpiece for excellent sustain and tuning stability. Kluson Locking tuners make string changes a breeze while maintaining rock-solid tuning. The Gabon Ebony rings and knobs add a final touch of sophistication and practicality to this meticulously crafted instrument.
In summary, this handbuilt guitar by Mike Marcovis represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and attention to detail. With its exquisite materials, thoughtful design, and premium components, it's not only a remarkable piece of art but also a versatile and high-performing musical instrument that any guitarist would be proud to own.
