Building the Karax
Abraar has been a guitarist and guitar tech for many years, having played, owned, and worked on several high-end guitars.

The result is the Mezraab Karax, built from a clean slate with an American white Ash body, thick Rosewood top, Wenge neck, and Ebony fingerboard - a combination that adds punch in the mids with clarity and note separation up top. For Abraar, it's more than a guitar - it's a piece of himself.
