Product Description
Taking inspiration from iconic S-style guitars, the Soloking MS-1 Classic has been designed to give you a high performance shredding machine without breaking the bank. Combining classic style with modern features, such as the modern “D” shape Roasted Maple neck profile, Alan Entwistle pickups, the 2-point floating Wilkinson tremolo and locking tuners, jumbo stainless steel frets, as well as a recessed jack socket, the MS-1 incorporates style and performance all-in-one.
Versatile Sonic Palette
The HSS configuration comprised of an Alan Entwistle Dark Star humbucker Neodymium pickup in the bridge, and two single coil XS62N in the middle and neck positions offer the perfect balance of tones to use and explore. The Alan Entwistle humbucker gives you that beefy, crunchy, and full-fat tone that is great for lead and soloing. These humbuckers are perfectly suited for a heavier style of playing, great for rock and metal genres that are articulate and expressive by design. On top of this, the humbucker gives you the ability to coil tap, giving you even more tonal options for a twangy and bright sound.
The XS62N single coils utilise two stress-field Neodymium magnets that produce a hot and powerful tone, whilst retaining that iconic single coil voicing offering you a range of glassy, lush, and clean soundscapes. When adding gain, these pickups really start to shine, offering you a versatile and expansive sonic experience for a commanding presence that is perfect for blues, rock, and metal.
Comfortably Ergonomic
Soloking’s MS-1 range feels fantastic in your hands, from the Roasted Maple fretboard to the ergonomic body contours that enable greater access and comfort when playing. The bolt-on heel joint has been carved to enable greater access to the high end of the fretboard. The “D” shape neck profile with a satin finish provides a welcoming playing experience that is suitable for any hand shape, whilst providing you with fast fretting and agility when navigating the fretboard. The jumbo stainless steel frets enable you to be more expressive with your playing, allowing for clean bends without ringing out.
Enhanced Tuning Stability
Boasting a 2-point Wilkinson tremolo system and Wilkinson locking tuners, you can rest assured that the MS-1 will remain in tune whether you are creating deep dives or making expressive bends. The locking tuners really showcase the excellent build quality and attention to detail of this electric guitar to give you a high-performance workhorse at an affordable price!
