MINISTAR Guitars
“Close your eyes - but not your ears”, these are the words of the designer Bob Wiley when trying to sum up the essence of his Ministar guitar and bass range at their launch in the USA at the NAMM show.
With their minimalist design and radical looks these guitars are unlikely to appeal to everyone yet each one offers its owner a unique experience and great value. Many Ministar products are patented or patent pending due to their unique capabilities and design. Great sounding, easy playing instruments that produce sounds that confound their looks.
Don't try to compare a Ministar to anything else. These are not precious or pretentious guitars. They are rugged, robust, simple yet great sounding instruments that just do what they do and do it well!
All MINISTAR guitars and basses have the following features in common:
-
EXTREMELY LIGHT WEIGHT. Guitars average 3lbs., whilst basses average 5lbs.
-
"HOT" pick-ups, comparable to the original pick-up styles you love.
-
An ADJUSTABLE graphite NUT permits the "closest action Mother Nature will allow!"
-
Easy access TRUSS ROD and ADJUSTABLE BRIDGE allow quick set-up.
-
"STRAIGHT-THRU" end to end wood grain design providing incredible sustain.
-
High quality "all-metal" die-cast tuning keys.
-
Shoulder strap, "noiseless" signal cord, and carry bag.
-
Unique extension rods for playing while sitting or standing.

LokSTAR by Ministar
Lokstar is a really fresh approach to the problem of safely
standing your guitar or bass on stage or at home.
The Lokstar unit clamps to any mic stand and provides a gentle
but secure method to HANG your guitar or bass on the same Mic stand.
Lokstar is perfect for any guitar but is simply unbeatable with
a headless guitar or any guitar with an odd shaped or asymmetric base that can not be placed
in a conventional stand.
One less thing to carry, one less thing to clutter your
floor or stage and it provides an elegant and simple solution – why did nobody
think of this before?
(The Lokstar is a great solution for all guitars and basses but it is a great solution for all Ministar Guitars and Bass, the Traveler Speedster, all TheBONE guitars and all OTHER headless makes - and it works just as well with a full sized acoustic too).

Ministar ROKSTAR
All Ministar guitars combine revolutionary designs with fantastic tone and unmatched portability. The Rokstar might be the entry point in the range but it has all the "FAT" sounds and "LONG SUSTAIN" for which all Ministars are known.
The Rokstar features a HOT P90 pickup, stacked volume and tone control and a 'straight through' headstock design. A fully adjustable nut, truss rod and adjustable bridge let you set a really close action.
It can be played standing or sitting and comes with the strap hanger rods and leg rest for both positions.
Made from hard rock maple and finished in a high gloss varnish we think you will be very happily surprised at how good this guitar feels and sounds.
Complete with strap, cable and carry bag.
Loads of fun and ready to go.

The Castar has a stacked volume and tone control with a five position pick-up selector switch where each pick-up also uses individual alnico magnets for each string.
As you would expect, the Castar also features a spring loaded tremolo and it comes complete with gig bag, shoulder strap and an amplifier lead.
