The Ministar guitar and Basstar bass were both unveiled during the summer NAMM show in Austin, TX. Retailers and musicians alike were impressed by the instruments’ great sound, amazing playability, portability and price.

Both instruments featured a one-piece neck and body design allowing maximum tone and sustain with minimum body size. Other features include a 24 fret maple fingerboards, a fully adjustable bridge, truss rod, nut (allowing the strings to be set as "close as Mother Nature will allow” without buzzing or rattling), a single high-output pickup with a master volume control, and folding extension rods to simulate a full-size body.

When the instruments are folded and packed in their nylon carrying bag, they can go just about anywhere. Traveling musicians will no longer need to worry about checking their precious guitar at the airport; both the Ministar and Basstar can fit inside the overhead compartment in an airplane.
