Story
The calls for an electric Bouzouki have been getting louder, so we’re answering with a brand-new Guitstarter launch. The MRG Electric Bouzouki carries forward the DNA of our MRG Octave Mando, reimagined with a longer scale length and a voice that’s uniquely its own.
Featuring a longer 25 1/2" scale length for improved tension and comfort in GDAD tuning, this Bouzouki offers enhanced clarity, sustain, and string separation: perfectly suited for rich chordal textures, driving Celtic rhythms, and soaring melodic lines.
With the same sleek, lightweight A-style body, comfortable neck profile, straightforward controls, and dependable hardware as its Octave Mando counterpart, it feels instantly familiar in your hands. But plug it in, and the added scale length brings out a tighter low end, shimmering highs, and the distinctive resonance that defines the electric bouzouki sound.
From intricate accompaniment work to bold, ringing leads, the MRG Electric Bouzouki delivers dynamic response and inspiring tone. It's ready for the stage, the studio, and anywhere your music takes you!
