Luthier Mike Kinal has been custom building and designing handcrafted guitars since the late 1960s. Kinal began building six-string solid body electrics, and produced the Kinal Standard in 1972. In 1974, Mike created a solid body carved top guitar known as the Kinal Custom, which became the trademark design throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Around 1976, Mike began to concentrate on bass guitar designs and produced a number of custom designed basses. In 1988, he turned his attention to the creation of the Voyager Archtop guitar.
Currently, Mike offers a complete line of guitars and basses with special emphasis on tonality, balance, comfort, and versatility. For more information, contact Mike directly.
Instruments currently produced in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada), since 1972.
