Minarik Flying Dutchman - Calypso

Another beautiful and unique design from MINARIK. The Flying Dutchman is a semi-hollow guitar with a solution to the problem that has plagued so many semi-hollows: the thin, weak sound and whistle feedback they produce when heavy distortion is run through them.

Meet the “Dutchman.” Mack-truck overdrive at standard and drop tunings, while retaining the beautiful, angelic, high clean tones that semi-hollows have made famous.

The shape and design are bold and creative—just like the people who play them. Signature hook-and-curve headstock with a unique claw-vine inlay on the fretboard and headstock. This inlay on the fretboard includes position markers at all the traditional locations—no risk of getting lost on the fancy fretboard design that weaves around those position markers.

Minarik “M” logo–engraved nitro pickups that pair perfectly with the semi-hollow body design. Beautiful archtop with abalone-bound body and sound holes—even the back of the body has binding. Set neck, 22 fret, 24 3/4" scale, with decorative carve at the bottom of the board. Two volume, one tone, in four beautiful colors over highly figured, book-matched quilt maple. Mahogany body and neck, ebony board, Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece with locking petal-style tuners.
