Not my style at all, but I have to say that's some pretty amazing wood/finish work.

STOP IT!!!!

He makes so great looking guitars.

The photography ain't bad either.

Mike, next time you talk to him, tell him thanks for me for trying to get that spot out on the Tele I bought from John. And a thanks for a thorough checkover and sending it out for him.

I want the case! Purple velvet!

What's that little doo-dad at the top of head stock?

[Surgeon]

Ah man, everytime you post some Mirabella pics it hurts a little somewhere close to my left shoulder...

Seriously that's a great looking guitar... This dude does some incredible work and his esthetic is quite unique...I just love it.

Nice photography as always Mike!

Beautiful! Chris is amazing....looks like that guitar could play itself. Very kool!!!

[Pecan]

Must look away....
How are those things for jazz? Whats the price on the cheaper ones?

[Davey]

the interior of that case gave me a chubby!

[Stratcat]

Very nice.

I know the story of how you got the job, but did you go to any kind of school or the like? What equipment are you using?

[That90'sGuy]

I LOVE that guitar! If I were to shell out big bucks for a jazz guitar, I'd probably spring for a Mirabella, they're so classy, but so different at the same time

Memphis...i'm no jazz player either. cris was laughing at me at the shop i was paying black sabbath, ozzy, def lep, my originals and some alice in chains on it LOL. the sick part is it does acoustic metal damn well hahaha.

Erik...NO, i'm not going to stop lol. thanks for the kind words on my pics and Cris checks the forum now and again so i'm sure he'll see your thanks to him about the tele.

RW...the cases are PIMP with the purple, i love them! on the tip of the headstock is a polished brass "M" for Mirabella. they all have that.

Surgeon...Cris certainly has a great eye for design along with HIGH HIGH HIGH quality! thanks for the props on my pictures!

butnut...this thing is amazing, it's loud as can be also which is nice if you're a light picker but when you dig in it sounds HUGE!

Pecan...i'm no jazz player at all but i know a top of the line guitar when i play one and i have NEVER been let down by any Mirabella i've played. as for prices you'd have to talke to cris Mirabella the builder i'm not at liberty to talk about prices.....partly because i have NO idea what they are LOL.

Davey....yeah the cases rock but just you wait i ordered custom cases for my clones through the same company. i decided to do something real crazy.

beandip...well after highschool i went to 3 colleges hahaha seriously, i went to the Univeristy of Hartford in CT for liberal arts but hated being away from home so i came back to LI and went to CW Post again liberal arts but they didn't have a graphic desingn program (i did take every photography class there though) then i left CW Post and went to Briarcliffe as a graphic design major and finished there with a BA in graphic design. so yeah i went to school for graphic design and took some photography on the way. as for equipment just a very adjustable tripod and a Canon digital Rebel XT camera. i do also have several photography lights and a shooting tent also that i use for the white background stuff.

[danglybanger]

The flame on the back is really just fascinating. Oddword, I know, but it's really perplexingly beautiful.

[Thurisarz]

I'm in love

[Robert Delahunt]

Nice! I probably wouldn't be comfortable playing such a large guitar (it just looks large I guess) but it's very nice looking, very stylish!

[Mr Wolf]

His guitars are true works of art. They give a nod to the past hollowbodies of old, but then develops on top of them for a slick modern take that looks fantastic. The photos do them justice, good shots taken there.

The beauty of Mirabella guitars are that he pays respects to D'Angelico and D'Aquisto in everything he does, yet at the same time he has a unique vision on how to build an archtop. As Mike said in his earlier post. Every guitar he has made is incredibly good! I have the priviledge of beinag able to say I have played every one and they are all extreme instruments in different ways! As he continues to build guitars........ they just seem to get better with every new one he builds.

[Wattage]

Great shots Mike.

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't been by the shop all summer so I didn't see this one come together, beautiful.

Cris is amazingly talented and has such a passion for what he does it is so inspiring.
