Mano Guitars – Artist Edition Custom

This Artist Edition Custom is the result of a creative collaboration between Mano Guitars and a visual artist, combining handcrafted guitar building with a distinctive artistic expression.

The concept behind this instrument explores a balance between simplicity and visual creativity. The guitar features a minimalist single-pickup configuration, allowing players to plug in and focus purely on the music. With no unnecessary controls or distractions, the design encourages a direct and expressive playing experience.

In contrast to the stripped-back electronics, the guitar features a unique artistic finish created in collaboration with the artist, making this instrument visually striking and truly individual. The result is a guitar that feels both raw and expressive while also serving as a piece of functional art.

The body is crafted from Wild Cherry (Forest Cherry), offering a lively and resonant tonal character. It is paired with an African mahogany neck and a walnut fretboard, creating a warm, balanced sound with strong midrange presence.

A DiMarzio Chopper bridge pickup delivers powerful and articulate tones, capable of handling everything from dynamic clean playing to driven lead work. The instrument is fitted with a Gotoh TL bridge for stability and sustain, along with Gotoh Vintage Magnum Lock locking tuners for reliable tuning performance.

Lightweight and responsive at 3.108 kg (7 lbs), this guitar is designed to inspire creativity while offering the reliability and craftsmanship expected from a handmade instrument.

A hard case is included.
