    • "Firebolt" in Minarik Guitars 2016 Catalog, p. 8
      "​The Minarik Firebolt redefines the look and tone of V shaped guitars. The width of this guitar is key to generating its massive tonal spectrum. The chambers on the inside of the Firebolt are different from left to right, and have been custom carved to allow massive amounts of acoustic volume to be pushed out of the signature lightning bolt F-holes. This acoustic volume translates into mindblowing amounts of sustain and power, while the neck thru tone bar guarantees intense overdrive tone without unwanted feedback normally associated with F-hole style guitars. The balance of the Firebolt is spot on. The looks of this guitar are pure Minarik. The wavelike sides flow towards the tips of the guitar, while the underside turns back on itself with two mirrored half circles. Probably one of the most striking features on this guitar are the lightning bolt F-holes. This is another example of charting new visual and sonic territory by Minarik. The larger opening of the lightning bolt F-holes allow the volume controls to be installed without cutting a control plate in the rear. This allows maximum sound to be generated by the perfect uncut panels. / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "
    • "Trinity" in Minarik Guitars 2016 Catalog, p. 24
      "​The Minarik Trinity model has the unique honor of not only being one of the company's most intriguing shapes, but is also the only guitar in the world featuring a quadruple cut-away, and original Minarik design. Additionally, the Trinity features the Stinger tail carve, the only Minarik model featuring this design. / The Trinity also features the patented GEMINI pickguard, an intricate and expressive design that compliments the Trinity's bold original shape. / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "
    • Zenn® [double neck]. Minarik Guitars.
      "​This is the most technically "perfect" single cut-away guitar on the market. The traditional single cut-away guitar is severely lacking in the left-side surface area which is used to grab and articulate low-end frequency response. By incorporating Minarik Guitars proprietary Tone Tail Engineering on the bottom of the body and adding an additional tail on the upper left bout, the frequency problems with the traditional single cut-away guitar have been "corrected.” The cut-away has been sharpened and enhanced to tie in with the two other "points" on the body, giving this guitar that signature Minarik design style. "

      "​This beautiful and original version of our widely popular Halo model features the visually stunning scroll in the upper left bout which adds an enormous amount of wood on the bass side. This takes the patented Minarik tone tail engineering already in place on the Halo Model to another level with extra wood on the left, but up at the Top. This gives the Scroll a sonic signature unlike any of the other models including the Halo. Once again, new sonic territory is being charted by Minarik. The lines of this Model are Vintage, Elegant, and Pure Minarik. This is a must have for the traditionalist who is looking for new sonic brilliance, with smart beautiful, vintage lines that are completely new. / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "

    • "Halo" in Minarik Guitars 2016 Catalog, p. 11
      "​This is founder M.E.Minarik's crowning acheivement in traditional guitar design. This guitar defies description. It is not a single cut-away, nor double cut-away..... It is a "zero cut-away." Instead of following the age old trend of cutting away wood to make room for your hand, Minarik went the total opposite direction. Look closely at the upper bouts, they actually come up towards your hand! The opposite of a cut-away..... a "zero cut-away!" This bold design actualy allows more access to upper frets than any cut-away guitar without sacrificing the beauty and tone of the instrument. Halo features Minarik's patented Tone Tail Engineering and Custom Tone Chambering. Add Minarik's optional, patented Angel Step top for truly heavenly sound. If you haven't picked up a Minarik Halo yet, visit your local music store and "get your wings." / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "
    • Absinthe [lightning bolt f-holes]. Minarik Guitars.
      • "Absinthe" in Minarik Guitars 2016 Catalog, p. 3
        "​The Absinthe's hollow-body is the perfect opportunity to allow your unique playing ability to breathe through an entirely new medium. The beautiful traditional curves of the Absinthe are a joy to behold, however it is the sound holes that create the magic on this particular instrument. These completely new and original sound holes are inspired from Native American and Alaskan historical artifacts. They are, in a way, lightning bolts. However, you will certainly not find these lightning bolts anywhere else in the musical world. These unique sound designs from Minarik once again push the envelope of tone both live and n the studio. A signature look that you come to expect from Minarik that will command attention both visually and audibly. From devastating heavy tones to the angelic vocal tones of an expertly mic'ed acoustic, the Absinthe delivers. / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "

      "​Craftsmanship and knowledge are the key to a Minarik acousric. Pre-World War II building techniques insure the hey-day of acoustic guitars lives on in this very special branch of Minarik. From 300 year old Brazillian rosewoods, koa woods, bear claw sitka and Adirondack spruce, this is the acoustic guitar for those who want to treat themselves to something really special / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. [There seems to be 3 forms: double cut-away, square cut-away with symmetiric bottom-curve, and square cut-away with asymmetric bottom-curve] "
    • "Inferno" in Minarik Guitars 2016 Catalog, p. 12
      "​The Minarik Inferno is the most scientifically advanced electric guitar ever built. This flagship design features Custom Tone Chambering throughout the entire body, event into the flame tongues. Every design feature on this body shape has a purpose. Increased mass on the left side of the body accents low frequencies, and reduced mass on the right side increases the voice-like high frequencies. Each individual flame tongue was designed to produce a certain frequency response, giving the Minarik Inferno the most balanced and widest tone spectrum unmatched by any other guitar on the market today. / Studio X-Treme Series guitars start as low as $1,399. / Super Custom Series guitars start as low as $3,299. "
