Gear Review: Minarik Guitars Inferno | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Minarik Inferno is a showstopper with its bold, attention-grabbing design, but it’s more than just a pretty face. With its mathematically plotted flame shapes enhancing specific frequencies, this guitar offers a unique voice. It features a chambered mahogany body, neck volume controls, and exclusive Tone Perfect Resonatas pickups, delivering a commendable midrange tone. However, its unconventional shape might challenge players seeking comfort, especially when seated. Weighing in like a Les Paul and built with a 24.75” scale, it’s not the most practical for all scenarios, but its performance and striking looks make it a worthy consideration for those wanting to stand out both visually and sonically.
