Myka Guitars Dragonfly Deluxe - Electric Hollowbody Electric Guitar
Wait till you see the lacewood back and sides on this baby -- so deep, so rich... mesmerizing! This is another wonderful instrument from Myka, and it brings everything to the table -- tone, playability, versatility... For a standard configuration (2 humbuckers, a toggle, and tone/volume for each), this guitar makes a lot of different sounds. The top is hand carved and tap tuned and the back is routed out as well, so this guitar really combined archtop qualities with thinline electric tones. Want to distinguish yourself from the crowd? Here's a great place to start!

Player Reviews:
"We are all amazed with this one. David is one of the best custom electric makers out there and this guitar is a great example. It seems to morph to any style you wish to play and the feel is tremendous." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar is probably the most versatile electric I've played. I love the chunky neck and the Bartolini pickups. You really wouldn't need more than this one instrument, no matter what style you play. And it's gorgeous to look at to boot." - Al Petteway
"Plugged this one into the shop's Carr and couldn't stop playing! Jazzy blues just flowed, but so did every other style. Beautiful looks, wonderful playability, and a tone that's very responsive to your playing style. At times I conjured up fat, warm jazzy tones, other times I seemed to find an out of phase single coil thing... very, very cool and great fun. I own a pile of other guitars and this one seems to fall somewhere in between all of them -- it's great to find something with a unique signature that can make your playing stand out. Just wonderful!" - Al Schlimm
