We’re coming up on the 100th anniversary of the electric guitar, and it’s been fascinating to hear how this simple instrument has altered the landscape of music in that time. It’s mostly just wire, wood, and a wee bit of electronics that doesn’t even need power.<\/p>\n

As music has evolved, guitarists’ need to be able to shape their tone to create new sounds has grown. That’s why musicians get all excited about the latest gear that promise to unlock more and different facets of tone, whether it’s in a pedal, amp, or a pickup.<\/p>\n

Shark Guitars, out of Antalya, Turkey, is the latest brand on my radar trying to shake things up with a whole new approach to the instrument. The company’s building a modular guitar with swappable parts, and onboard electronics like you’ve never seen before.<\/p>\n

Shark says its ‘Ocean Environment’ platform lets players mix and match a wide range of its guitar bodies, necks, bridges, nuts, and effects. That’s true for when you’re customizing your build, and also once it’s in your hands. The brand promises these components will always fit together reliably, thanks to the use of precision-machined titanium.<\/p>\n

The platform and product catalog have been in the works since 2018<\/a>, when founding partner and guitarist Cem Koksal started the company with an eye on the high-end electric guitar market. Shark has racked up six patents through its R&D process, opened a factory in Turkey that can craft 120 instruments a month, and has now opened its online store to accept custom orders.<\/p>\n

Using the 3D custom guitar builder tool to specify your requirements gives you a sense of just how remarkable Shark’s venture is. You can choose from four different body styles, and pair it with a wide range of necks \u2013 including a fretless option. Since the neck is modular, you can simply remove it for easy packing when you’re hitting the road. <\/p>\n

You can also get multiple necks with different profiles and fretboard configurations to go on the same guitar, and snap on whichever you need for a performance or recording session. That’s nuts.<\/p>\n

The platform also includes a plug-and-play pickup system: you can mount any pickup you like without the need for soldering, at the height you prefer. Each pickup module can be swapped out at a moment’s notice, without the need for tools or even any configuration. <\/p>\n

You can adjust the gain based on your pickups, so your output volume stays level between them. That means you can drop in a twangy single-coil alongside a burly humbucker, and they’ll work together as if they’ve been wired to do so from the start.<\/p>\n
