The Manta is the only guitar in the Minarik line that can "out-do"
the Minarik Inferno in awesome tonal range. This guitar is the personal
favorite of company founder M.E. Minarik due to its complex building
technique and exquisite beautiful shape and sound. The inside of the
body is literally like a beehive of chambers that has been tuned to make
this shape sing like no other guitar you will ever hear. The arch top
on a Manta, (yes, it's an arch-top) rises and dives along the curves of
the body looking much like a birds shoulders. This very special arch top
is extermely difficult to make and must be done by hand ALWAYS. This
guitar has the largest tonal rainbow of any instrument on the market and
is truly spectacular to see and play.
