Minarik Lotus USA Custom Guitar

[LOLLLLlLlLlyyLlllLll]

Theres a point where a guitar is to well done.. ^^



[TheNinetySecond]

I don't really feel like fingering pearly babies everytime i feel like bending a third -.-'

[MJoeyDesign]

Great sound anyway

[nastymonsters2]

looks like a coffee table.....thts been puked on...

[TheGarrettsee]

i think the neck looks kinda cool the rest is awful

[OneTakeJesus]

Why do you have to "patent" everything on this thing? It's a piece of shit. Who would copy any of this? You wouldn't have to worry about any of that...

[MucusFelidae]

Beautiful. If I only could play it.

[sublime88sublime]

yea well my guitar has more tone

[captainmcspanky]

man for a guitar no one can fucking afford the least you could do is play it through a nice amp...

[justrockon426]

I find it would be closer to perfect without 'images' on the fretboard and on the body, as said above, OVERKILL.

[Hikikomori013]

@justrockon426 Yes, overkill was exactly the point. This is a super deluxe show guitar. If it wasn't overdone it wouldn't be right.

Me, I just need fret markers so I don't get lost. But this one is extravagant!

[hexydenise]

This is the a priest guitar

[TheNeonRabbit]

Beautiful



[mahatmacote]

Yikes. The salesman pitch suits this lump of ugly-assed furniture!

[bigbirdoncrack12]

how much does that guitar run?

[jerrypino1114]

I aint gonna play this, if i get a note rock, jesus might shock me with his lighting!

[rahagbab]

looks like a toy

[spacemanjames]

tbh all those contrasting tonewoods kinda kill it, ive heard squires that sound better

[xXiQSCOPEZiXx]

i think it is amazing art but if you look at realy succesfull guitars like les paul fender sg .etc. they consist of about 3 colours and look better than this

[telecasterbear]

the headstock is enough. 

[skotyboy01]

you haters must die, if you guys didn't know? they just made a beutiful work of art. you people who don't know what guitar art is need to get off of this video right now before they will be reported to the youtube police department.

[Seandude223]

@skotyboy01 There's a difference between guitar art and overkill. Notice that some of the most beautiful guitars in the world follow the whole "less is more" principle.

[wackemac]

A= for detail, but its overkill....... burn it and build a cigar box guitar!!!!

[Sephiroth78941]

If I was a millionare I'd buy it.

[ledheadtlc]

but can you stand on it?

[59Hellfire]

if i had a guitar like that i wouldn't even play it i'd display it in a glass case as if it were a trophy

[tazztt1]

If that's 'book-matched' I'll kiss your ass!

[Trevellion]

guitars wernt meant to resemble a dinner table... its like customising a dildo or something.... not needed

[DeBuraInc01]

the dude says "patented" as if no one else can make the binding like this guitar's...

also...

its funny how with all that different wood, it still sounds like any guitar i can play at guitar center...

[UseTheHanger]

@DeBuraInc01

rofl i know. i think it's a great looking guitar, but mediocre sounding guitar AT BEST. they might have been using a crappy amp and crappy pickups though.

[Jameslee295]

Sounds great with the clean tone. Sounds like crap with the distortion.

[rollingstopp]

hang it on the wall

[Graiskye]

Wow buy our 10,000 dollar guitar its got tone that sounds like shit. I agree with the overkill statement, too much, just too much.

[Hotshott1990]

Wow...thats an expensive peice of shit!

[MatKiller1197]

who metalhead would like to buy this gay shit???

[NuclearFallout666]

@MatKiller1197 no one, because its isnt a metal guitar o.O

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

ggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy­yyyyyyy

[59Hellfire]

HOLY SHIT THATS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[MrROTD]

too busy looking plus id be afraid the play it because it looks like an ornament.

[Nick5379]

I would use it to play porno grind

[midland88]

awful

[TimBrownYale]

it looks like chuck norris came all over it.

[FMSClancy]

Sounds like a PRS

[ofirharlev]

OHHHHHHHHH MYYY GOOOOOOD!

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!

[Djalmar]

Guitarra maravilhosa!

Som espetacular!

Parabéns ao seu criador que esbanja talento e criatividade.

[NitroAndDeathMetal]

holy jizz........i wouldnt play that either lol too pretty

[jmepwns5000]

imgine droping it............ chuck norris? what are you doin here?

[kron294]

kron294  you tube

[aeroforce9609]

Only he who is without sin can play this guitar

[Caboose2320]

Meh. Cant even get as close to a nice sound as a vintage strat!

[wesmatron]

In my opinion this is an example of skill out-stripping taste. I can appreciate how much skill it takes to make something like that, but I think it's gaudy.

[lordvad3r]

i agree with sweeper ... to much .. i like the headstock (although not religious) and the neck wood is amazing ... but all the bling* on the body and carving ..meh tried to hard with it

[Sweeper5]

There's too much bling on that guitar for my taste. Just overdone, if ya know what I mean. Not that I wouldn't love to try one out...but that much abalone, routing, purfling, etc. It just ends up looking...well, cheap. *shrugs* I'll probably get flamed for that, so bring it. LOL!

[MrTattoogun]

I HAD A LOTUS ONCE OR TWICE I THOUGHT THEY WERE CRAP!! WELL THEY WERE CRAP!!! WHEN AND HOW DID THEY GET ANY BETTER!!?? OR HAVE THEY!???

[Guitarstring187]

my god this guitar boundaries on hedonism but i still want it!!!

[keo774]

how much is this guitar?

[TonyMistry]

The fretboard pushes the boundaries of taste a bit for me! I'd still have it though!

[iPodLocK3R]

They used the wood from Noah's Arch to make this guitar.

[ChaosScourge777]

I like how Minarik actually took some good advice from BC Rich and went with a neck-through design. Nothing better than the sustain from one of those.

[STEAMWORKER]

Looks like a Cadillac from the 50'.

[polyhydrant]

pure kitsch, awful

the beautifulliest guitars ever made are duesenberg guitars, google it !

[jw11432]

@polyhydrant pretty boring looking guitar. i googled it, and saw nothing special. looks like a danelectro wannabe.

[Kingddd333]

@polyhydrant They are good looking. Not the "beautifulliest" though. They are just based off of other models it seems like. And they went overboard with the bigbys

[jpjdo1212]

it would be a shame if the guitar sounded like an old mans fart

[Hellozan11]

It's beautiful, but it doesn't look very Rock 'N' Roll.

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

these guitars are for rich a- holes who can't play for shit

[360EVH]

minarik guitars look unique and good u can tell they put alot of work in making em.idk why u guys keep sayin theyre ugly i tink jus cuz u saw some ppl put tht its ugly u jus do d same ting jus bcuz u dnt want any1 else disagreein or criticizing u.if u c tht guitar it looks like any other round shape guitar so i dnt c the "ugliness" of it.wat i dnt like is d color n design of d fretboard it looks more of a guitar for a chick but it looks good tho unique.i like d others tho like d inferno n medusa

[jmillzz2]

christ, all that talent and skill in service of such an ugly thing. LOL at 1:28, "resembling the back of an animals pelt" The narration is hilarious

[grandpaul94]

this is one of the ugliest guitar ive ever seen

[slamalenko]

overkill. too much of everything. ugly.

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

@slamalenko Probably expensive as shit too >.>

[esj1994]

@slamalenko totally agree

[UseTheHanger]

@slamalenko

i think it's beautiful...

[xMusicIsMyGasolinex]

@slamalenko I agree, it looks like shit.

[WoWintosh]

...Brazilian rosewood resembling the back of an animal's pelt.....

Haha this guy is a total stoner

[dawgghogg111]

don`t understand what you see in int, it`s finely made but the subject is... ew

[rangerinthehood]

wow

[DiamondDimebagDarrel]

THis is Shit! this is too much!! it's like in Baroque only worse!! but that's mine opinion...

[smellmyclock]

who didnt jack off to this video? dam its hot i thought youtube didnt allow porno

[gehtdieser]

how much ???? ill buy it

[carpetburn23]

it was good up until the redskins jersey :]

[Kingddd333]

There should at least be one humbucker if you ask me

[aligatorsandwitch72]

Who the fuck would play that?

[RobotFollower]

@aligatorsandwitch72 a great musician maybe.

[aligatorsandwitch72]

@RobotFollower A great musician wouldn't play something like that. Have you ever seen Guthrie Govan play a ridiculous guitar like that? What about Buckethead? Shawn Lane?

Oh wait, the thing consistent throughout all those guitarists is they played very minimalistic guitars..

A guitar like that is just for douchebags who think to highly of themselves.

[rafilakers]

@aligatorsandwitch72 jesus would play it xD

[aligatorsandwitch72]

@rafilakers Yeah but it would be a pity play... You know he wouldn't really mean it, he would just do it to be nice.

[rafilakers]

@aligatorsandwitch72 i think thats sorta true xDDD

[screamingtrashcans]

@aligatorsandwitch72 WHAT!! are you kidding me??... this is a work of art ...anybody who plays something like this would be admiring it too much to admire themselves. Besides, if a guitar looks good and sounds good, its a good guitar, doesen't matter who plays it.

[thefooj]

i feel like that's more art than instrument. it'd be a cool "interactive decoration".

[organs]

I'd probably put something more boutique in the pickup slots than Seymour Duncan. Maybe Bareknuckle or something...

[liltonky]

id totally play stairway on that mofo

[magiman407164]

ATTENTION ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS!!!! Before the price was removed from the official Minarik Website, This Guitar Was Listed For Around $1,200 US

Cant be WAY too Expensive, A 59 lespaul and Gibson J200 bring about 5-6k

[Sozialneutralist]

Jesus would offer this for free! =D

[screamingtrashcans]

that must cost a fortune.

[TheCoolProfessor]

That's amazing! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship but probably a lot of cash.

[kelvynyeang]

can someone please tell me where to get gold single coil covers like these??

[TheThim51]

i hope it plays as well as it looks

[Sephiroth78941]

That guy doesn't deserve to touch that guitar.

[TimJMorrison]

Now there's a fretboard Michael Jackson would have no problem fingering.

[GrapeVine921]

@TimJMorrison faggot

[crazysk8er3435]

their guitars are crazy looking

[garofalo92]

i would probably commit suiside if i lost this XD

[MEADETH]

wow....that is really beautiful, id be terrified to play it

[yellowvespa04]

gorgeous, but what dose it *sound* like?

[paragate]

Nice, but a bit overdone

[adawg48]

I think the guitar I made is nicer I use quilted maple much higher quality wood but less complexity and more originality

[MrSttelnoj]

followed by a recessed ledge, followed by a second inlayed guitar that outlines the five gold rings and a partridge in a pair tree. if they dont sell this thing they're ruined.

[MrSttelnoj]

i would get lost on that fingerboard forever!

[mandaltby]

It would feel like playing a stuffed phesant

[AsLoEaXd]

ha ha

it will be so funny to brake it on a live gig 8D

the makers of this guitar will probably kill them selves

if it happens 8DDDDDDD

[MrSttelnoj]

@AsLoEaXd you would surely burn in guitar hell for that peccadilo!

[AsLoEaXd]

@MrSttelnoj hope not :P

but seriously now.... it's a guitar you just can't play

it's too beautiful XD

[kc7wwy]

and the price is ? WHAT !!!! nice .

[Vvviiinnnccceeennttt]

Un peu... chargé. Beurk.

[Kingddd333]

jesus christ its jesus's guitar

[tkojams]

A little much. JMO

[spineless93]

what the fuck man its a guitar not a B.C. relic....

[kerranz]

Looks like an Italian exploded. there is such a thing as TOO FAR.

[6672rock]

A beautiful custom instrument indeed, but not one you'd necessarily want to gig with on a regular basis. It's probably expensive, so why risk the dings and scratches? Use it for practicing or recording sessions, but otherwise, don't risk damaging it.

[panerai74]

loooks like furniture sounds regular must cost a fortune

[mysteryloser24]

I think someone got half way through cutting the body, and forgot what style of guitar they were going for... As for the inlays, hideous springs to mind... I like the way he keeps saying "giving the effect of" like they couldn't do it for real and had to fake it.. Lame guitar with the uglyness of a dung beetle, stuffing it's face with the finest shit a half dead hippo could provide :) Trust me, that was probably the biggest compliment I gave anything all day...

[mysteryloser24]

@mysteryloser24 And also, when he said it had a sound you can't get from any other guitar, he probably didn't realize he had just spurted out the biggest understatement of this century... This guitar sounds exactly like a strat, which all suck eggs... Their isn't a strat or strat replica out there that sounds good without needing serious effects, and this guitar is no different.

[Kingddd333]

@mysteryloser24 yeah I think this guitar would've been better if there was at least one fuckin humbucker

[mysteryloser24]

@Kingddd333 You're probably right on that one. I just think the guitar looks horrible and plays like a regular strat would...

[Kingddd333]

@mysteryloser24 and rosewood body? eww at that one.

[mysteryloser24]

@Kingddd333 Well it's a nice wood, but the body is hideous!

[Kingddd333]

@mysteryloser24 Yeah that's what I was directing the "ew" to

[mysteryloser24]

@Kingddd333 Yah :)

[agentorange7894]

eww this is the most gaudy thing i have ever seen.

Hey Minarik, Liberace called, he wants his style guitar back.

[dclsithlord]

yeah its nice but how much would it cost?

[brianwurst1234]

I would piss on it and then pick it up and play some Pantera.

[Raxmole]

in my opinion the only part which is beautiful about the guitar is the fingerboard as regards the body i really don't like it ! just my opinion though.

[nkbigdaddy]

i wouldnt fucking play it i would let it sit in a case to show off its beauty

not play it

[lgcmetallica]

that guy should be wearing a white robe and have a beard

[chaserr120]

I only love the frett board and head stock.

[codenamemoron]

Looks like Alphonse Mucha jacked off on a Hagstrom.

[AndrewX66]

This guitar scares the shit out of me just by looking at it. :P

[oopsLOOPS]

aswesee is an idiot.................

[DeaderNBetter]

it too much

[MariosGuy]

i wouldnt even touch this guitar.

it looks like Jesus's guitar........

[Dytex4]

@MariosGuy you wouldn't need the bible if jesus played guitar, people would turn christian from he's licks and riffs :P

[smctunes]

Kinda looks like a floral couch pattern. It's a work of art though...I don't know if it should even be played.

[dtoned1234]

thats ugly as fuck.. in my humble opinion :)

[tpotpo9]

i wish i had that guitar

[cornelisX]

I'm getting the blue version of it :)

[seancuthkelvin]

LOL at the football jersey, the guitar looks like it was made for someone that dresses like yngwie, vai, and jesus.

[aswesee]

and then take away teh gay fingerboard, body design, single coil pickups, Angelic design, then accuallly buy a good guitar like a Dean esp or a BC Rich

[sanderd]

Now, time for a scallop? :)

[FranticRock]

Wow thats a lot of hard work, but that's just too much stuff. Somewhere there is a balance of jsut the "right amount" of stuff you can put on a guitar. A bit too "angelic" for my tastes too.... Still cool. 5 stars.

[JURGMANDR]

tacky.

[000acr000]

If I bought this i would be afraid to play it haha looks like it is fragile.

[danukenator123]

lol take a router and add emgs

[loki8lelouch7]

nice lol i would 2 :D

[judgerudge123]

i swear this person speaking was jacking off as he was speaking...not even nice...lol

[judgerudge123]

u know what guitar satan will next use in a rock of....

[zolt420]

I have a lotus fretless bass guitar its not as beautiful as this piece of art but i was wondering is this the same company, if anyone has more info on lotus please let me know thanks (sweet fucking guitar)

[idonotcair]

its fucking beautifully

i want that for Christmas

[lighteningboy]

Crazy amounts of cosmetics on a guitar. Is this an investment, or do you play a guitar like this?

[mrjwmz1995]

i want one with the devil instead of angels and black trllium flowers and ravens instead of doves will they do that,huh

[Emil315]

For the 10 grand this guitar costs, I would assume so.

[DreadedFred]

i would buy this guitar solely for the purpose of having pete townshend destroy it in front of Mark Minarik. it's like 10 grand down the drain; totally worth it.

on a side note: "resembling the back of an animals pelt", I laugh every time I hear that

[Leafytree666]

Humans do not deserve to play her

[Alessio1242]

ratzi's guitar!!!!!!!!! amuahuahauahuaa

[oneforthefallen]

jesus christ.

[hakushoFAI]

that i call a guitar

[tornviet2]

omg thats beautiful

[kenedy626]

very arti nice work i found A Complete Custom Electric Guitar thats a good watch

[WexiScott]

i like the back better lol

[GuitarnScythes]

haha play Slayer on this and it will split in half

[danukenator123]

only if its made with scotch tape

[RobotFollower]

@GuitarnScythes and why should he/she do that?

[dtonbassist]

@GuitarnScythes hah  yea this just isnt a slayer guitar. play disciple on this. :D
