Guitar Player Review of Minarik Inferno Electric Guitar
"The Inferno is a joy to play. You can brutalize the strings
without risking squashed timbres, fretting out is non-existent, and the
Tone Pros bridge ensures excellent sustain and spot-on intonation". Mark Watson

Minarik Inferno
If you built a fortress from copies of Dante's The Divine Comedy,
you'd almost have a stronghold as huge as the mammoth Inferno. Well,
not really-but this Texas-sized, flame-sculptured, ornate guitar will
definitely bring all eyes toward the stage when you sling it across
your shoulder. In
spite of its mass, however, the Inferno is surprisingly light-a quality
that's mainly due to the use of tone chambers placed throughout the
entire body, including inside the flame tongues. And the shape of those
flame tongues is no accident, either, as the manufacturer states the
flames are cut thicker and closer together on the bass side to enhance
lows, and thinner and farther apart on the treble side to elicit "angel
like" highs from the top three strings. The Inferno also balances well
whether you're sitting or standing.

Editors' Pick Award
The
Inferno sounds as spectacular as it looks. Acoustically, the tone is
lively and resonant, and, when plugged in, the Duncan Distortion and
Duncan Jazz pickups provide absolutely wonderful clean and dirty tones.
The
bridge-position Distortion yields some of the fattest, yet articulate
sounds I've ever heard, and the neck-position Jazz covers every vibe
from snappy and aggressive to smoky and mellow. Played cleanly or at
moderate overdrive levels, sparkling roots tones abound, and you can
easily coax this baby into spasms of controllable feedback when you
pump up the volume and saturation levels.
The Inferno is a joy to play. You can brutalize the strings without
risking squashed timbres, fretting out is non-existent, and the Tone
Pros bridge ensures excellent sustain and spot-on intonation. The frets
are meticulously trimmed and polished-not a burr or nick to be found.
The Inferno's midnight-black finish is flawless on the top and back,
but there are also some fairly rough areas inside the intricate flame
tongues. The Inferno offers unforgettable looks, stunning sounds, and
custom-style-for-low-bucks value. This sonically versatile, 100 percent
rock and roll guitar is totally deserving of an Editors' Pick Award .

The Minarik Inferno is the
most scientifically advanced electric guitar ever built. This flagship
design features custom tone chamber engineering throughout the entire
body even into the flame tongues. Every design feature on this body
shape has a purpose. Increased mass on the left side of the body accent
low frequencies and reduced mass on the right side increase the
voice-like high frequencies. Each individual flame tongue was designed
to produce a certain frequency response giving the Minarik Inferno the
most balanced and widest tone spectrum unmatched by any other guitar on
the market today.
