SOARES'Y
GUITARS - U.S
Mike Soares'y specialises in developing guitar designs and using overseas small shop guitar builders to make one-off limited production runs of tenor guitars in a very wide variety of styles and conformations including flat top, archtop, solid-bodied, metal-bodied and wood-bodied resonator, round hole/f-hole, cutaway and non-cutaway, acoustic and/or electric and with four, five or eight strings and in different scale lengths including both tenor and plectrum scale length.
Whilst not considered comparable in quality to individual luthier-built
instruments, Mike's guitars represent outstanding value in terms
of quality for cost and he has also produced some very high end
quality instruments that are worth many times the prices he
charges. Unfortunately, the one-off small batch system of
production used means that particular styles of guitar are not
usually repeated so that particular instrument models cannot be
re-ordered.
If you have any enquiries about the guitars below or would like
