John Buscarino's Mira solid-body electric boasts top-of-the-line components, select-grade woods and John's fanatical attention to detail. You've got to check out this bird's eye maple neck yourself -- striking! The Mira comes with three of John's finest custom pickups. The result is a guitar with voices for your every genre -- jazz, rock, funk... whatever! Pickup-wise, there's a high-output Alnico 5 in the rear, one Alnico 3 in the middle (with the coils facing each other in the center for a fat single coil sound), and one Alnico 3 in the front with series parallel wiring and a push pull pot to go from a warm jazz sound to a brighter single-coil sound. Controlling all this power is a five-position switch. It's a fantastic setup guaranteed to get nearly ANY sound you need out of an electric guitar!

Player Reviews:
"This Mira from John Buscarino was custom made for one of his top customers and is fully custom. The birdseye Maple neck and fingerboard have much more figure than you've ever seen, just gorgeous. The Ash body gives it great tone and energy. This one does it all." - Paul Heumiller
"This is set up with heavier strings and higher action the way I like it, but it is such a versatile instrument that you can set it up for any playing style. It has all of the best hardware and wood, so you can't go wrong." - Al Petteway
"This is one versatile guitar. The tonal range is different than what I'm used to in a Strat-style instrument, which suits my jazzier side very well. You can get some great warmth and fatness here. You don't see too many jazzers playing Strats, but this guitar could remedy that. " - Al Schlimm
