MK-Ultra
A modern fingerstyle acoustic guitar with a comfortable, contoured 15" lower bout and an even response across the fingerboard, custom-built to each player's specs.
About this guitar
The MK-Ultra is Morgan Kelsey’s modern fingerstyle model, designed for even response across the whole fingerboard and built entirely to the player’s own dimensions. Nut width, string spacing, scale length, and neck profile are all worked out with the player directly, and the model can be built with or without a cutaway, in parallel-fret or multi-scale (fanned-fret) configurations. It also supports Kelsey’s integrated tongue-drum feature for percussive fingerstyle playing.
