Story
The calls for an electric Bouzouki have been getting louder, so we’re answering with a brand-new Guitstarter launch.
The MRG Electric Irish Bouzouki brings a spark of the Celtic tradition into the electric age. Built for GDAD tuning and featuring a 25 1/2" scale length, it delivers the ringing lows, bright shimmer, and lively response that make the Irish bouzouki such a joy to play.
Inspired by the design of our MRG Octave Mando, it keeps the same sleek A-style body, comfortable neck, and straightforward controls—but with the longer scale that gives this instrument its bold, resonant voice.
Whether you're driving a tune through a lively session, layering rich chords, or letting a melody sing out above the band, the MRG Electric Irish Bouzouki is ready to bring a little Celtic sparkle to the stage.
