Product Description

Taking inspiration from iconic S-style guitars, the Soloking MS-1 Custom 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, the 2-point floating Wilkinson tremolo and locking tuners, Alan Entwistle Neodymium Humbucker, as well as a recessed jack socket, the MS-1 incorporates style and performance all-in-one.

Versatile Sonic Palette

The HH configuration comprised of two Alan Entwistle Dark Star Neodymium humbuckers in the bridge and neck 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 this, the humbuckers have the ability to coil tapped, giving you even more tonal options for a twangy and bright sound that you would normally find from single coil pickups.

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 comfortability 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 make it comfortably easy to be expressive with your playing without ringing out.

Enhanced Tuning Stability

Boasting a 2-point Wilkinson tremolo system and Wilkinson locking tuners, you can be 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 high-performance workhorse at an affordable price!
