Meir Jakov Ifergan
Are you looking for a guitar that possesses the quintessential sound, is strong, lightweight and impervious to environmental changes?
Meir Jakov, a former electrical and materials engineer for an Israeli aerial manufacturer, was looking for the very same. Out of his many experiments with materials and sounds came FLASH graphite fiber composite guitars. FLASH guitars are built with advanced manufacturing techniques that realize the full potential of the graphite fiber composite materials. FLASH guitars' range of products include electric, acoustic and bass guitars. The building process allows for a wide range of customization and tone adjustments according to the physical and musical preferences of the customer. You are welcome to look around the site and view our current line of guitars.
I am very happy that in our country there are people who are bold enough to build guitars. Meir is leading the way, building a special guitar made of special material. The guitar's ring is exceedingly targeted and uniquely good. I predict that this is the guitar of the future.
Best of luck,

Flash Carbon Guitars
Meir Jakov Ifergan grew up in a house where music was part of the daily life and where every family gathering turned into a musical experience. Meir started playing guitar professionally at a young age and was part of a number of bands as well as a solo artist. After his military service, Meir worked in the Israeli aero manufacturing industry and concurrently learned music academically. It was during this line of work, that Meir learned the technical expertise in graphite fiber composites, which would eventually become the basis of FLASH guitars. One day, Meir drummed on the hull of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which was made of graphite fiber composite. The beautiful sound of antique, dry wood, rang in the hangar. Immediately, the idea FLASHED into Meir's mind to build guitars from graphite fiber – a musical instrument that integrates his technical experience as an expert in graphite fiber, the attributes of the unique material, and his love for guitar.
The musicians called the guitars "beautiful" "clean sounding" and "balanced", among other accolades. Since then, Meir has been building with great success electric, acoustic and bass guitars that possess a unique and clean sound, are powerful and capable of assimilating a variety of components in the body of the guitar. FLASH graphite carbon guitars are lightweight and portable, durable, keeps its tuning and is unaffected by environmental conditions, including heat and humidity.
Thus, in 1993 FLASH guitars were produced for the first time. Famous guitarists who were deeply impressed with FLASH guitars include Tom Petty, Trey Anastasio and John Fogerty.
