“Close your eyes, but not your ears”, these are the words used by the designer Bob Wiley when trying to sum up the essence of his Ministar guitar and bass range.
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.
Add in the fact that a Ministar is so light, compact, rugged, simple yet portable and you won't need to think twice about taking one along with you. To a gig, perhaps only for a couple of numbers. To the studio, when you need that special sound, over your shoulder and on the bus to a day of lessons or indeed anywhere you wouldn't want to risk a more traditional instrument.
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.
