Having a customer tell you that the guitar disappeared when he played it must have been one of the coolest things you've ever heard. It gave me chills when you said it in the vid.

[mykaguitars]

Yes, that was really cool to hear that. It goes beyond what I could even hope to strive for.

@mykaguitars do you build these guitars or have you just put this vidio on youtube?

[mykaguitars]

I build them in my shop in West Seattle. Check out Myka Guitars on the web too. Lots more pictures in my gallery.
