What Do We Think?

The Miris J is a wonderful design by Dennis Fano and is quickly becoming a fresh classic. For starters, it is one of the most comfortable semi-hollowbody guitars you've ever played. And with its proprietary Mastery vibrato and Lindy Fralin pickups, is is situated to cover a wide variety of tones and playing styles with immediacy and ease.

The Fralin P-90 in the bridge position is ideally suited for the guitar. The natural acoustic resonance of the instrument emphasizes both an airy top end and a big lower register thanks to the Swamp ash body. So the rich midrange and sweet top end of the P-90 allows this guitar to be clear and detailed when playing clean, or go thick and all out rock’n’roll when adding some drive. There is the perfect amount of snarl when you really dig in, and an incredible dynamic range.

The neck P-90 tones really capture the mojo of the semi-hollow body, having a lush and warm texture regardless of where you are on the fretboard. The resonance of the Mastery bridge and vibrato add a quick and precise attack that complements those overtones. Notes remain crisp, yet don't lose their woody character in the midrange. Single-note lead lines and bluesy licks are both harmonically rich and pristinely conveyed.

How Does It Play?

The neck starts off feeling like a perfect ‘60s oval C and starts to grow around the fifth fret to become a chunkier C toward the upper frets. It feels fabulous all the way up. The string action is a smidge over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12^th fret, and a hair below on the high E. The guitar plays effortlessly, and free of fret buzz.
