Do you own a Manicaro Custom Guitar?

David Depasquale

The first MC Guitar I played was the Odin 7 and fell in love instantly with the guitar. I am an 8 string guitar player so I asked if Andrew would build me an 8 string and he certainly delivered. 
Definitely the best guitar I have ever owned. It feels great for my playing style, everything feels so fluid. I can go from growling rhythms to cutting sweeps to the sweetest cleans easily. I am super grateful to be a Manicaro Custom Guitars Artist and can’t wait for the new Odin to be in my hands. I also get the chance to demo and display other Manicaro Custom Guitars models as well and I’m always impressed with the work and comfort of these instruments. I recommend these guitars to every guitarist I know.

My journey with Manicaro Custom Guitars started out when I came to a point where I needed a super-strat type guitar that felt just right in my hands but still looked the part without any other-worldly appointments. Andrew was immediately capable of understanding my needs and even managed to exceed my expectations at certain points.

 

The result was an elegant-looking 25"-Scale Manicaster with an incredibly sleek neck profile and a stunning stained maple top. At the heart of this fine instrument is a locally-sourced slab of mahogany which is shaped into Andrew's own body design that gives the guitar its name. 

 

When put to the test out in the wild, she has proved herself to be a true workhorse and has withstanded a number of trials from one performance to another - so much so that I eventually went back to Andrew and ended up having an identical model built (but in a different finish). They are now sisters which go by the name of Chloe (the elder) and Lyla (the youngest) 🙂  

Luke Grech  

Hailing from the tiny island of Malta bang in the middle of the Mediterranean is me - Luke Grech - the last name actually pronounced as Greck. I am a session guitarist, music producer, and tutor, operating from my own musical abode by the name of Cornerhouse Studios.

My main genres are funk/rock/fusion and I regularly session for a number of prominent local pop solo artists on the island. Some of my fondest memories onstage have been during my performances at the Isle of MTV Malta, The Farsons Great Beer Festival, The Valletta New Year’s Eve National Celebrations Concert, and Mużika Mużika - Festival Kanzunetta Maltija. He owns 2 Super Series Models which he calls Chloe & Lyla.
