I just realized i've been posting here for a while but am still fairly new and never whored out pics of my guitars :lol: :LOL: some of you guys may be familiar with me and my guitars since i actively post on the seymour duncan forum, usa charvels, tgp and a few others and some of you have no clue who i am so i figured i'd give a brief intro and post some pics of my guitars and gear.

i'm Mike and i'm Charveloholic, i work for Mirabella Guitars here in NY building, repairing and restoring guitars along with doing the photography and magazine ads for all the Mirabellas. I also have my own brand of guitars "Clone Guitars" which some of you may be familiar with that i have taken a bit of a break from due to focusing on the Mirabellas and my own personal guitars. while i get to work on lots of cool D'Angelicos, D'Aquistos, vintage strats, teles, 355s, 335s, L5s, les pauls and loads of other cool things that i feel lucky to get my grubby little paws on along with lending a hand in hand building some of the finest archtops out there i'm still stuck in the 80s (even if i was in diapers for part of it being 28 years old now) and really love Charvels, thus why i have so many of them. granted they're all new Charvels (some custom shop, some mutts and some modded production models along with a GMW and Clone tossed in) and not original 80s san dimas ones they're still cool to me. i do also own a 1984 pointy Charvel (it's a pile of mistreated parts i'm slowly restoring) and some other guitars not pictured but below is the majority of my collection.

anyway, enough babble half of you guys will just skip right to the pics anyway :lol: :LOL:

well that's about it, i was going to post info about each guitar but that would make this one long ass post so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

OMG that first one! And those LP's <3
My thoughts exactly..

The green sparkle, the tobacco strat with the nickel cover, and both those LP's are fucking awesome. I would dance shirtless and oiled up with Al Pacino for those.
 
thanks guys!

well you all seem to have picked a winner...wanna guess my #1? yeah, the 2 tone burst with the nickel hum is my #1 in E. #1 in Eb is the deep red with the zebras. the chartreuse sparkle with the guard has been fighting hard to be #1 though and i'm really diggin' that one lately.

here's the back of it and the other relic since they both have cool surprises hiding behind them...

What a collection of firewood if I ever saw one. :lol: :LOL:

Mike is an awesome guy, and he does his best to help me keep my sanity when it comes to repairs.

You're talking the stickers, yes? :lol: :LOL:
 
Awesome!! I owned Clone #11 for awhile. The demartini pick up was killer :rock: I'm in the process of "relicing" my old charvel model 4 body although I'm pretty sure it won't end up looking as nice as your axes. Very cool!
 
Hey man... I am normally a Gibson guy, but them super strats are f'n sexy!!! Thanks for sharing. :rock:

ha those two are my favs as well! where on LI are you? your custom jazzboxes are out of this world, i would love to stop in and play some
 
thanks for the kind words guys! it's always nice to hear since pretty much all of them are really my creations with custom paint, body woods, hardware and pickup choices and not guitars i just bought off a shelf so it's cool to hear that others like them.

again with this...well, i have two les pauls...they don't get much play time but they're needed for that extra chunk so i can appreciate a good gibson that's for sure.

Stratboy151...i'm on the north shore in nassau county. as for the Mirabella Guitars you'll have to talk to my boss Cris Mirabella about them since i just work for him and he's in charge of everything that has to do with them. all the contact info for Cris is on his site if you want to get in touch with him about an archtop or any custom build for that matter, we can build pretty much anything you can come up with. we do solid bodies, flat top acoustics and mandolins too but the archtops are the main focus.
