Anyone own a mikro guitar?

[UnderTheFlame83]

I meant the short scale. Maybe way heavier strings would help. Being a big dude probably doesn’t help, either. Regardless, I can’t think of any reason I’d play it instead of my full size guitars.

Oh ok. Yeah, stick with a full scale then

That Paul Gilbert Mikro on Squeebay went for extra reasonable money. Hope someone here is the winning bidder!

I recently built a StewMac Mini-LP and really dig it unplugged for noodling/practicing. The pre-wired electronics are bogus though and with no luck trying to get them to work I'm at a point where I think I will just replace both and start over. Very cool tiny guitar.

Cool little guitar. I wish you lived closer. I'd wire her up for you. But still . . . 1 pup, 1 vol, 1 tone, should be easy to sort out. "Should", is the operative word.

Next one going on the bench. This one will get new tuners, new nut, and a set of zebra Duncan Hot Rodded pickups. Should be awesome. Doesn't need a level, just a good setup. Body and neck in like new condition. Already presold to a drummer pal in Junction City, KS. He's a Lightning McQueen fan.

Could have before I moved! You are one of 2 forum members I've met in person.

A lot of the bad reviews were for the "pre-wired" electronics...they sent an updated instruction manual but I think they should have just sent the parts un-wired. Besides, the pots look extremely cheap so it will be better to start from scratch with better quality.

I'll get it up and running sometime soon!

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I too, have met two forum bro's in person. You and Rand-O. He lives here in town. Just talked to him last week. I have several of his guitars in my shop right now. He's a killer guitar player, but just hard to get a gig these days.

I don't know he's around these parts anymore, but Zakk Speed had a Mikro RG which he did up pretty nicely with, iirc, a Liquifire/Crunch Lab and gold hardware (the guitar was black) - looked very classy. It might be somewhere in one of the old Ibanez threads.

It will be! I am looking forward to hearing it plugged in–the B and high E string go out of tune pretty easy when chording BUT for a quick practice, this thing is quite fun.

I never got to meet Rand-O, remember conversing on the forum, seemed like a decent guy. Wish him all the best! I'm getting a couple of gigs here and there but the market is definitely down.

I'll tell him you said "hey." He doesn't have an internet connection right now, which is why he hasn't been here awhile.

Thank you Artie!
