Rabea Massaad on the ML3 BEA

"The ML3 BEA guitars are an amalgamation of all my guitar influences musically and physically up to now in my career - achieving a combination of beauty and brutality - both tonally and visually!"

Construction

The body is made of a satin-finished alder, a popular choice for it's balanced, all-round properties. This makes it ideal for contemporary styles and allows the guitar to remain resonant and clear in any mix - particularly important with dense compositions and complex arrangements. A series of carved curves also ensure you'll be ultra-comfortable in handling the aggressive 'T' shape.

Its roasted maple ensures perfect intonation and stability thanks to the torrefaction process, hardening the wood and ridding it of any impurities. The macassar ebony fingerboard offers a familiar feel with a gentle curvature. Add to that the rolled fretboard and you'll quickly realise playing comfort doesn't get much better than this. 

Sound

Rabea voiced the pickups for his signature model to suit his unique playing style, which incorporates clean passages, bluesy leads and crushing modern metal riffs. The resulting Henchman humbucker (bridge) and mini-rail (neck) combination offers a brilliantly balanced tonal palette.

The bridge position produces razor sharp metal tones. They respond brilliantly to a variety of distortions. Switch to the middle position and you're in a world of compressed twang - cleans sound simply spectacular. The neck position brings the warmth, perfect for well-rounded cleans and rich lead parts. It doesn't end there though; a 5-way switch and coil tap allows for a whole host of extra sounds. The fun never ends.

Hardware

Black and chrome hardware and reveal binding polishes off this guitars classy, modern aesthetic. A Graph Tech tusq nut reinforces the guitar with extra stability and responsive action. All in all, the ML3 BEA offers more than just modern metal mayhem - it's a perfectly precise machine that'll respond brilliantly to whatever you throw at it.

This guitar has exceeded all expectations. Setup was perfect out of the box, decided to change tuning to drop F# and this bad boy holds it really well. Looks great, feels great and plays great, especially considering the price.

I've known Rabea for years. I hate to say people are incredibly gifted because it takes an insane amount of work to get that good, but he has a touch that's from the heart. Great to see what he's doing now. And an excellent guitar! - Geoff (Djevara)

The item kicks *** now. Assuming the Andertons QC and Chapmans QC was done well, i have to assume the shipping was rough so better prep for shippung. especially intl shipping is required. DHL beats up these packages. J watched them drop one out of the van on its end. Intold her the value she said its got padding in there...this is who ships your products for you, just so you know.
