Here we have the newest creation from the mind and workbench of David Myka. It is a classic LP in tone and character with fantastic lower mids. The Peter Green style Throbaks are so nice in the middle position adding great character to its voicing, while offering big robust warm round sound when in the neck position and searing tones that are never too shrill yet strong enough to cut through any mix courtesy of the bridge pickup.

PRICING INFO:
- $6200.00
 
That is what I expect a $6,200 guitar to look like. Everything about that guitar says “fine craftsmanship”. The neck joint is almost Platonic.
 
i've heard great things about this builder. i like some of his other examples better, but that's a classy instrument. nice specs too, IMO.
 
That guitar would be totally worth the price. Not that I could afford to pay it, but it would be worth it.
