Both instruments featured a one-piece neck and body design allowing maximum tone and sustain with minimum body size. Other features include a 24 fret maple fingerboards, a fully adjustable bridge, truss rod, nut (allowing the strings to be set as "close as Mother Nature will allow” without buzzing or rattling), a single high-output pickup with a master volume control, and folding extension rods to simulate a full-size body.

When the instruments are folded and packed in their nylon carrying bag, they can go just about anywhere. Traveling musicians will no longer need to worry about checking their precious guitar at the airport; all Ministar guitars and basses can easily fit inside the overhead compartment in an airplane.
