Product Description

The ML1 X standard is a powerful HSS electric guitar that combines classic S-type design with contemporary flair! Beautifully crafted from classic tonewoods including Maple, Mahogany and Ash, the ML1 X seamlessly blends flexibility, playability and tone. A set of proprietary Alnico 5 pickups offers a wealth of single coil and humbucker tones, striking the perfect balance of versatility and attitude.

Top it off with an exclusive Goldtop finish, and you've got a cutting-edge instrument that oozes vintage class.

  • Satin-Finished Maple "C" Neck - Traditional neck timber adds brightness into the sonic mix; boasting a comfortable "C" profile and a satin finish for ultra-fast playability.
  • Bolt-On Construction with Recessed Neck Joint - Yields a snappy tone for an immediate note response, with recessed heel joint enabling unrestricted upper-fret access.
