| | ~ Myka Guitars ~ David Myka builds each and every guitar entirely by hand. Every tool he uses is directly controlled by him without the use of automated machinery. In this way he can produce a much more integrated guitar in terms of overall tone and workmanship. When designing and building these guitars Myka takes every opportunity to fine tune the design to fit the particular tonal requirements and the results are well worth the effort.
Custom guitars are Myka's specialty. Anything is possible. You can not only choose your own woods and stain colorings but you can also design a totally new shape, style, or an entire new instrument concept. There are no limits to what is possible. Myka enjoys the challenge and rewards of building truly custom instruments. Quite often the designs are solely the vision of the clients. Together they make these instruments come alive. Look around here and you will see the endless variety that comes out of the Myka Guitars shop.
Each guitar is made using only the highest quality woods and components to ensure the best tone possible from the instrument. Myka individually matches pieces of wood and tunes each piece as necessary to achieve the desired tonal results. This is the same process whether the guitar is acoustic or electric. To Myka they are all acoustic until plugged in so his goal is always to bring out the best in each piece of wood. This way the instrument pickups have a superior signal. The results are very musical guitars full of rich harmonic content and wonderful overtones.
Every instrument is a unique project that gets individual attention every step of the way. Embellishments and personal details that stray from the norm are always encouraged. Myka thrives on new ideas and modern interpretations of classic elements. From morphing the goldtop concept into a new ergonomic form to distilling a new musical format into an intuitive new instrument these new designs often forge their own territory.
DAG REPRESENTS CUSTOM COMMISSIONS FOR THIS BUILDER! DAG represents custom commissions for David Myka. We can only handle a limited amount per year and they are on a first come-first served basis with typical wait times ranging from 6 to 10 months. If interested please call for a preliminary discussion in regard to the guitar you'd like to have David build for you. If scheduling permits and it's an instrument that David is interested in building, we will proceed to the next step and have you consulting directly with David to work out all the fine details, as well as pricing and deposits, before the build commences. |
 | "My goal as a luthier is to collaboratively design a custom instrument perfectly tailored to the customer's vision of what they want and need in a guitar. The tonal consideration of the materials and design aesthetics is an acoustical engineering challenge that opens up the possibilities of realizing the goal set forth in the discovery phase of the guitar design process. This process brings together these various elements and disciplines into a single cohesive design for the instrument. This design approach makes it impossible for me to offer a set of models and precise designs. Each guitar is a unique instrument designed to perform a specific musical function. Each guitar model may serve as a starting point for a new design, or we can start from scratch. Either way the result will be a custom instrument as unique as the vision that guided its construction. There is no limit to our imagination." - David Myka | | |
