Talking of weird-shaped guitars...

Well at least there's no danger of Gibson sue-ing for that one.

No? I think they invented flames.

"The Minarik Inferno is the most scientifically advanced electric guitar ever built."

Apparently.

I've never LoL'd a guitar before simply due to politeness but I'm sorry Harry I really did laugh when I saw it even though being you I guessed it would be something mad, although quite how mad I had no idea. 

I generally love your posts and you do keep this place interesting. 

There was no malice in the LOL. 

I laughed too. Not just because it's so un-Harry-like, but because my first thought was "finally, we do now know of one person who actually bought one!"

Are you sure about that? I mean, in a smoky bar... well, maybe after everyone's gone home and the lights have been turned off...

Alembic might have something to say about the upper bout horns. Very Jerry Garcia Warlock.

Minarik guitars are the guitars footballers would buy if they weren't too busy buying sports cars and crashing them on the way to Nandos.

I think they're grotesquely fascinating but I'd have thought you'd find them too blingy, H.

This one's a bit more subtle and restrained.
Maybe suitable for the more mature gentleman.

Ideal for elderly Jazz aficionados, I’d have thought...

Here's one designed to appeal to the simple, utiltarian tastes of Marxist revolutionaries.

I don’t think I could spot any differences between that and a TVY LPJ, to be honest...it’s the same pared down, functional aesthetic, isn’t  it?

Minarik custom shop do an Effin model. So a guy walks in to a guitar shop and says, "I want one of those effin guitars please".

Ha!

Yep, had one of these for the last ten years.
Great guitars. Well put together, Seymour Duncan pickups, tone pros hardware.

Great feeling neck too.

Ive gigged mine a fair bit, big bit of kit though, I'm always catching speaker poles or punters with it.

Also had a medusa (the Coheed guitar) which was great too.

I'll probably end up with one of the USA models at some point, the firebolt is a particular favourite.

Only one control knob?
I suppose it is for volume as the guitar itself will lower the tone.

Gibson definitely ripped off that outline from somewhere. It'll come to me......

The bits that Mexico didn't want.

Bit of an older item.
